Tuesday

It is a whopping 38-degrees outside this morning. I know a couple of girls that aren't going to be happy about making trips outside today if it doesn't warm up more than this. Rascal was sure glad to get back inside this morning. He's been milling around downstairs for about 45 minutes. His only opportunity to do so is when the girls are soundly asleep. Otherwise it goes into a whole let me smell you thing. The dogs just love to try to smell the cat - and he highly objects to any part of it.

I've taken the girls out for a walk to the end of the cul-de-sac. Lilly on a leash and Carla just came along. Lilly did pretty well on the leash and I belive that she did better with Carla walking along with us.

We are scheduled to have our family portrait taken for our new church pictorial directory this evening. It will be weird without Walter & Danielle. However, Walter will be in on Wednesday to have his photo taken. I don't know about Danielle & family, I guess we will see.
