The snow melted quickly.

Hank with his bone, keeping him busy, so

he doesn't dig holes.

Yesterday, we hit an amazing 60 degrees.

Today, we wake up to snow.

It has been a crazy winter,

but not complaining!!!

Hank loves to wake up to snow!

He bolted out the front door and spent

most of the day playing outside.

Day 54, February 23, 2012

Yes, Hank is still digging.

So, we got some things to

keep the boy busy!

He seems to be a sweet tooth,

so he is enjoying his new diet,

sweet potato seems to do it for him!

Artist, Jacqueline Knell, who exhibits at the Square I Gallery in Claremont, CA is doing a project involving nine 8x8 portraits of the Hadassah women from Anita's Group to present at a southern California event in late March in Long Beach, CA.  We can't wait to see the finished project. 

 Anita said the project was such fun.

Al, David and I went to Chip's,

Three year running, best pancake in CT!

One of those places you have to try.

Yummy, and then on to the movies to see

"Safe House."  Fun afternoon, followed by

a dinner visit from Michael.

Day 45, February 14, 2012

Hank likes to dig, so Al and I took advantage

of Hank being down from his surery and filled

his holes, these of course are in the front yard.

Saturday he will be back out in the yard,

 we will see if our "little" project worked or will

 we have to get more soil to fill more holes?
