Keep getting new projects/chores at the office, dogs need grooming, truck is due for service this morning, trailer registration due this month, gotta repair the light fixture in the kitchen (no, it is not a simple bulb replacement), carpets need cleaning, need to fix window in momma's car, unjam the shredder, fix a plumbing leak at FiLs house, clean the cat hair out of SiLs printer, blah, blah, blah. I thought that, once the kid was off in college and we were by ourselves, things would slow down. HA!
I guess we should be grateful for the blessings we have (job, health, family, home), but sometimes, just sometimes, I miss being a kid. The nice thing about having a dog (or two), is that their expectations are pretty low. Walk me, feed me, pet me, repeat. And Golden Retrievers are pretty needy on the attention part. It was bad enough with one "attention hound" but adding a second to the mix has somehow turned into an exponetial deal. I cannot show pet or show attention to one without the other one showing up (Me Too! Me Too!). One major benefit about these two kooks is that, no matter how lousy the day, how much crap has been tossed your way, or how late you are, they are always estatic to see you....

That is a great picture!
In my experience, something will always turn up to fill "free" time...
So this idea I have of slowing down and relaxing is all wrong? That's probably okay. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I weren't running six different directions.
What a fun picture of the dogs! You gotta love 'em!
