Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday Lucky

   

Lucky will turn 10 years old on November 1st.  All souls day.

She is the greatest dog who ever lived and I'm lucky to have her every day of my life.

Summer of Rain

  Halfway through the summer we were at what was to be the 'summer of celebrity death'.  Famous people, dropping like flies from the start of the summer going into August.  Then it just stopped.  Celebrities stopped dying.  There were two more, maybe three, worth mentioning since my last post.  Senator Edward Kennedy, folk singer Peter Seeger and as I predicted, Patrick Swayze, who made it in just under the wire a few days before summer officially ended.

Because of this lack of continuing death and the increasing amount of continuing rain, the summer of 2009 will be known as the 'summer of rain'.  We managed to stay clear of the rain on our month long holiday only catching two rainy weekend days.  As you can see from the pictures, Lucky catching some rays on the deck of the vacation house, Heather wearing her heart on her sleeve and me with the union jack on my chest.
