I had such a good time with my kids, playing Yahtzee and singing along to the Johnny Cash CD they had playing - I still remember the words and all.  After a nice luncheon of shrimp stirfry and other goodies, they had to leave, and I got out of there too, home to my sweet doggies. 

At home last eve, we decimated the rest of the smoked salmon, sharing the skin and fat with the dogs, who are still begging for more this morning.  John and I toasted each other with a small glass of Frangelico.  So then, I went for a walk with Pepper, and have put away and organized things that were collecting over the holiday.  Ramen noodle soup for lunch, and I am ready for a nap!

I am reading the book, "The Hidden Messages in Water" and I love it!  I rushed to the sink and got a big glass of wonderful water to drink, and have been remembering to drink more water.  Along with my breathing exercises, walking, and oh yeah, not eating so much.....The drilled well is a wonderful addition to my life, well worth the $3,500 or so to have it done.  The water is 99.9% pure, and has a good taste.
