Annabelle Barley

We drove to Zebulon today for a little visit with Annabelle and her family.

She's not quite ready to come home with us yet - but, soon!

In the meantime, enjoy a few pictures of her, her siblings and the rest of the family.

We Love Love Love

Judy Bolin and Carlins Kennels

Books Read

Every year I promise myself I'm going to keep a log of books I'm reading. And I immediately forget. Then I remember again, but only after I've already read a few books, but can't be sure I'll remember them all and so - - can't bring myself to start the list. It's sort of like missing the first 30 minutes of a movie. I just can't watch it if I've missed the beginning. And being the anal ol' soul I am, I can't bring myself to start a list if I can't be sure it's going to be a complete one. So. I decided to keep a list during 2010 and found it to be a fun thing. Especially for a compulsive list-maker like myself.

You can see my 2010 list here -
