Happy Halloween

A post from Misty.................here I am in all my cuteness; ready for the trick or treaters. I like to bark when I hear the door bell - need to protect the house and my humans.

Don't look at me like that; I'm a "dog squirrel." Haven't you ever seen one before? Geez, quit staring like that.

Help...........I can't see.

Now I'm hungry. Happy halloween everyone!

Busy Life?

Sorry for the lack of posts. Being gone a week put me behind at work and it took two more weeks to actually catch-up...........sort of. Days are going by quick because this is what my weekdays are like:
8 a.m. - noon, student appointments each half hour.
noon - 12:15 inhale lunch
12:15 - 1:00 answer e-mails
1:00 - 4:00 student appointments (still two per hour)
4:00 - 4:30 prepare for the next day and answer e-mails


This has been going on since Oct. 19th and won't abate until Thanksgiving; this is the only way I can fit my 250 advisees in.

Life is busy but good; thankful I have a job, thankful I love my job, thankful for good health insurance coverage. Lookin' forward to Thanksgiving.

Malasadas

I was recently home to visit my grams; while there cousin Todd came over for a visit; I picked up a half dozen, Leonard's malasadas to munch on. YUM! Miles - doesn't it look delicious?

26.2

Marathon weekend - Todd participated in the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon this past Sunday, here he is getting ready, 6:45 a.m.


Mile 11.5, go Todd, go!


Here he is at about 14.5 miles, still lookin' good.

Todd's mom waiting to cheer him on at mile 23.

Here he is, still smilin'. At mile 23 there was a small hill and by this time, some people looked like they were going to collapse and many were walking.

At the finish, the capitol in St. Paul, with his medal! WOW!

When it rains.............

When there's enough moisture, you get mushrooms. This one was quite large and pretty; except for the bits of pine needls on it.

The side view is even better. I knew it wouldn't last long; in a few days, it got knocked over - I'm pretty sure it was Misty.
