Life Goes On and On and On !

   Still missing our "girl", but life does indeed keep moving forward.  In that line of thought we happened to see a puppy that we thought could fit in our lives and she so made us smile that we decided to take her home !  Sorry for the blurry photo .....even thought she is a "blur of activity" she was actually lying still for that photo , but camera wouldn't focus for some reason and when I got that worked out , the puppy wouldn't stay still !! Anyhow.....she's a border collie mix , 8 weeks old and we named her Callie Rose.  She shows great promise.....already house trained, leash trained and a great car rider !!    She fills a huge void for us and is great comic relief !
    Seems like we've been running around a lot the past week.  We spent one day on the coast hiking the beaches, later enjoying a wonderful dinner and music at Terrapin Crossroads where Ross and Dan were playing.
  Yesterday Seth was once again climbing El Capitan in Yosemite and so we packed up Callie and headed down there.  We arrived just in time to see him reach the top.......very exciting !! and very much a relief for me !  It was a beautiful day there.....isn't everyday there a beautiful day ??.......and so we spent some time with Callie at the river.  On the way home the road was closed for a while because of a fire.  We only had to wait about an hour and we had a puppy to play with and cherries and oatmeal cookies to eat.....I actually enjoyed the wait , but glad we were in the shade !

   Tomorrow my mom and I are headed up to see Tess !  Not long to go for her now and we're going to pick up a few things for the baby.  Getting pretty excited and can't wait to meet the little guy !
