photo friday: corn maze
Each fall, we try to make sure to have a “fall outing” to a pumpkin farm, apple picking or a corn maze. As Thanksgiving approached and we had not yet gone on our annual outing, I feared that maybe we had put it off too long. But luckily, we found a corn maze near the

Tonight was my first Police CAPS assignment … patrolling the square during the bonfire and then afterwards for “Terrific Thursday”. Fun!
instagram: trouble
We had a terrible, no-good, awful day with Phelix today. He had FOUR accidents. He was too rough with Chloe. He would run away from me whenever I went to put the leash on him. I found myself seriously questioning getting a dog. How do people manage?? I sure hope that the training will help

Phelix did pretty well today. We signed him up for dog training in hopes that we can help him learn to and not to do a number of different things in order to make it a little easier for us to all live together.

Noticed this painting hanging on an electrical pole as Phelix and I walked over to greet Chloe’s bus …. Wonder what it means?
waterdog ?
Yesterday while we were hiking at Sweetwater Creek Park, we decided to test out how Phelix would respond to moving water. He had a blast rock scrambling and getting his little paws wet and begged for more…

The mill at Sweetwater Creek State Park is lovely! Burned down in the Civil War, it is still an amazing landwark. I’d love to be bale to capture it in photo or paint or pencil!

A filthy dog turned into a clean one, just like that!!
instagram: high school tour
Today, Rob, Camille and I took a tour of the high school. While I’m not excited about the lack of individualization in the classes, Camille loved the looks of the classrooms for the electives…. we’ll see.
photo friday: austin kiddie limits
Back in October, the girls and I headed to Texas for the weekend for our annual pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival. When we first started going, it was solely for the kids’ stage, Austin Kiddie Limits. The children’s area has grown through the years, and we still love hanging out there early
instagram: hearts
I did a double-take when I saw these hearts at 5:45 this morning while taking Phelix for his pre-dawn walk.

Phelix is not a big fan of “work”. He gets the sad puppy eyes when I sit down at my work computer …. he’ll figure it out eventually, right?
instagram: gazoo kitty
Gazoo is S..L..O..W..L..Y adjusting to having a puppy in the house, but then had a setback after going to the vet today. At the moment, the puppy is on a walk, so she’s ventured out to her favorite spot on the counter. If only she’d realize HE CAN’T reach her there. She could stay there

Oh boy, that puppy keeps me on my toes. He’s a busy boy who wants to get into everything and to play play play

Phelix learned about Petco, the little dog park and the Decatur Square today. Big day for a little dog!
instagam: cookie exchange
Camille and I headed home to Pine Lake this evening for the annual Cookie Exchange/Lighting of the Lake. Every time I pull into Pine Lake, I get this wonderful feeling of being “home”.
instagram: puppy meet-n-greet
Tonight we went over to the shelter to meet a puppy that sounds like a nice fit for our family. He’s a cutie pie and we think maybe he’s going to be our puppy soon.
photo friday: “backstage” at austin city limits
Back in October, the girls and I headed to Texas for the weekend for our annual pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival. This year, however, we had a special treat — “backstage” passes! These lovely little red wristbands allowed us to enter the guest areas — free sodas and water, “cleaner” port-a-potties, chairs
instagram: tree lighting
This evening, we all headed over to Little Shop of Stories along with the rest of Decatur to see the tree light up … it even “snowed”!
instagram: lunch out
Last year, Camille and I enjoyed our weekly lunches at various restaurants in Decatur. We tried to go to a different place each week, but then fell out of the habit. This week, we started up again, eating at Cafe Alsace for the first time. Yum!
