Let me introduce you to Sarge who is Jojo's best canine buddy. How excited they become when they find each other's fragrance on the air. Jojo stops and raises his nose. Then he whines and pulls me  toward the place where we find Sarge doing the same thing. They bow to each other in a playful manner and as Sarge begins his love song, Jojo gets up on back legs to dance.

Sarge needs surgery but he is happy and well adjusted.

One day I visited KAXE studios with Annie and we discovered a portrait of my grandson, Royal.

Yesterday Cedar took a picture of me with buck eyes stuck behind my glasses. She thinks it is quite a nice picture of me. I said, "Well, it's not my favorite." After all, I didn't want to hurt her feelings.

I got a few books at the thrift store. One of them is this wonderful collection of poems by Miss Emily. I am going to illustrate it with small ink images this winter. I will move from page to page as time turns to winter and slowly returns to spring. This winter project will save me from icy falls and keep me off the street.

To be illustrated.

Last night I belled the hand made autographed broom. I believe it will make sweeping more pleasant a task.

Broom with bells.
