November 3, 2009       THE PARK BENCH

As I was out walking Sophie this evening, we passed by a local park.  Near the sidewalk is a park bench.  As we passed, a smile came to my face as I thought about Ms. Mocha.  You see, Mocha loved going for walks to the park and each time we passed a park bench, she would jump up to take a break and enjoy what was happening around her.  Mostly, we stopped to watch the children playing and to chat with the seniors who might have been out watching the children as well.  There weren't many park benches that we passed by that Ms. Mocha didn't stop to take a break.  What a girl! 





January 6, 2010              ONE YEAR AGO

The other night as it snowed lightly outside, I recalled what I was doing one year ago.  On December 29, 2008, I flew to Ohio to pick up my newest addition.  When we got back we had a lot of bad, snowy weather.  Trying to potty train a little one in that kind of weather isn't nice.  So January we didn't go outside very much and we just played and learned to get along inside.
