Well we are in North Carolina and LOVING IT
this is the best place ever, our house is great, great landlord, puppies next door, lots of gardening space, huge yard, old style clothesline but also a washer and dryer, fabulous layout, plenty of room for all of our junk, adorable town, lots of great looking flowers and trees in bloom, front porch, back deck, long curvy roads, waterfalls, lots of family (but not all ) etc etc etc —-LOVE IT HERE :):):):):):):):):)

sorry,
yesterday was a lovely day, nice weather, about 70 with a nice breeze, we all took a nice stroll through a cute neighborhood and went to the park and duck pond in that neighborhood
we fed the ducks and egrets and baby Summer quacked at them, then while Dahlia was playing on the slides and swings with daddy, Summer and i walked all around the park, with her woddling and holding my hand
it was so very cute
then she played on the slide with her sister
they are highly adorable

we had lunch at McDonald’s and stopped at the pet store on the way home to buy 4 little shrimp for the fish tank

at the pet store they had a very cool red starfish with long curvy “legs”
and in the same tank — i kid you not — was an octopus — VERY COOL

then Dahlia and i went grocery shopping alone to spend some time together

all and all a very nice day

how was yours??

so today during schooltime, i was teaching Dahlia about housepets, a little bit about the animals that you have as housepets, and we decided that we would get a beta fish
while we were at the pet store the helpful and very nice man showed me a few options of beta homes, well one was a complete 2 gallon kit with pump, and filter, and everything, and he said i could put up to 4 fish in it — so we went with that
so now i have a beta and 3 little fish, plus i am going to get 3 or 4 little shrimp (Jacque from Finding Nemo) too cute

well at bedtime we were reading a book about a fish and the fish was named Otto, so one of them is Otto, then the redish fish was swimming like crazy around the bubbles so in honor of Bubbles from Finding Nemo, we named him Bubbles, whcih has been updated to Bubbly, Dahlia was given the oppurtunity to name the other 2, she chose Watery for the beta, and Rocky for the other one, so that is why bubbles was changed to bubbLY

not sure why she chose either name, but i found it very cute
yeah fish and pets

any of you ever been to Panera bread????

oh my goodness, we just discovered it,
