or.....
update on last night's post: i am entering dixie in the calendar dog contest! the senior sanctuary does a "graying muzzles" calendar every year, and i am going to submit one of these beautiful pics of dixie. it costs $10 to submit each photo, but the money goes to the sanctuary, so it's all good! let me know which photo (see above) everyone likes best.

also- we had groundcat's mom, sis and some family friends out for dinner last night. it was groundmom's b-day recently. ("groundmom"? that doesn't have quite the same ring as "glittermom"... hhmm, might have to think of something better.....) anyways, we had a great time. and i am loving the grill! i did BBQ chicken (my specialty!) and corn on the cob. i grilled some corn still in the husks and used the side burner to boil some ears too. i took pics and will upload tonight.

as a few people have pointed out to me recently, we are very lucky people to have so much fun. we have a great time with family and friends. lots of laughter, good food, and just a lot of fun. i guess i am just feeling lucky, happy, and all that.

until my sister comes over and starts her dumb robot impressions! oh, and groundcat's sister is totally dead to me, since she was not impressed with my skyflake crackers!!!!!!!!
