Mary brought treats for the Elks!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were up early at the office as usual, but this time Mary was the busiest. She got a cruise in May 2027 from Rome to Barcelona on Viking (we want to avoid the crumb munchers!) Diane (daughter-in-law) and Megan (granddaughter) are going with us on this trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary spent two hours on the phone with Viking, and now everything is booked and ready to go. Now we have to rob a bank to pay for it. We fly into Rome, cruise for a week, exit Europe in Barcelona, and fly home. <\/p>\n\n\n

I came across an image from several days ago, when Oreo went to the doctor’s office. She was an excellent patient and came through the ordeal without a single bark! She is 30.1 pouinds and in excellent health! She is a smart dog, sometimes too smart.<\/p>\n\n\n

What’s happenin’, Pop?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Oreo supervised us all morning, as she had to lie down after a rousing game of squeaky with Dad. I should mention that Dad was also ready to lie down after tossing the squeaky twenty times! Oreo is an excellent retriever!<\/p>\n\n\n

There she goes at 68 mph right down the center of the lawn!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Mary came out and caught this activity on camera. She left out the part where I crawled back into the house and plopped on the couch with my oxygen mask!! My arm was so sore I am looking forward to the gym tomorrow and tell the trainer about my pains!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
