Thank you for asking, Sao. 
They are doing fine, both of them. They're out right now with Brian walking in the woods behind our house. It's thundering and about to rain. My husband is crazy, lol.
They had a ride in the car yesterday and really enjoyed that. They love rides.
They still go on their romps in the woods, twice a day at least. They're both up at the break of dawn, tails wagging, and Katie barks excitedly to be let outside immediately.
Brian still takes them kayaking often and they love the water. They tolerate the boating but would much rather do their sniffing and scouting on dry land. He had them both on one end of the boats a few weeks ago ... the water began to come over the sides slowly and he was frantically paddling back to shore ... by the time he got within about ten feet of shore, the water was halfway up the dogs' legs.
They swam in to shore. Lol! I laughed so hard when he told me.

calling Brynn! Brynn, you there?
I really dislike pitting cherries. But in the end, it's worth it.
vanilla bean ice cream - boring, cocoa powder sprinkled on it, better, a big handful of cherries, starting to sound good, add some crushed peanuts and a big swirl of whipped cream...
I'm set for the evening now
Have a good night/ morning/afternoon wherever you are...

Holy Moly, Brain. Vanilla bean ice-cream and cherries? That looks amazing.
I adore vanilla bean and I adore cherries.
I like to get those big bags of frozen dark cherries and eat a handful here and there. So good!
You guys won't believe what I'm eating after dinner ... a Twinkie, girl scout cookie thin mints, and birthday cake ice-cream.

Not yet, Jen. I just like to buy birthday cake ice-cream anytime. It's my one 'cheap' ice-cream splurge. I usually buy Haagen-Dazs on sale, bogo. But sometimes I'll buy this cheap-o brand of birthday cake ice-cream ... it is delicous and goes great with cake. Just one of those weird cravings sometimes, you know?
My bday is this month, though. It's on the 29th.

Ok ! It's over. I only messed up once. But man, was I nervous. There were about 40-50 people there. On the way to the town where we are spending the night tonight. I'll be ready for food and ice cream!

Glad it went well Marty!
Feeling emotionally blah today so sticking close to home; my safe space. Lots of great books surrounding me; just need to find the energy to read. Entertaining the though of running out to get ice cream thanks to that fabulous picture!

Hello!
Wow, everything has moved fast today.
I'm really proud of Marty. Her talk this evening was enlightening. This was the first time I'd heard, in real life, someone describe a journey like the one we've all been on. Her story was candid and poignant; she uplifted everyone in the room.
There's a lot of hope in the world we live in.
Thanks, Marty.

Yay Marty! That's great! What a good sized crowd you got. Enjoy your evening. You can relax.
I'm watching TV and kids are in bed. I'm heading there soon myself. Watching crime TV. First 48. Maybe some ice cream.

Ooh, fireworks! That sounds cool Bodhi.
Soberclover, I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. I'm sorry you're feeling off kilter.
Time for me to get ready for bed. I'm going to my 8:00 meeting in the morning
