right now i'd like to talk about today. just a bit. our road trip to Jesse's house went well today. there was 4 of us. it was way up north of Santa Fe and rural New Mexico again. of course one doesn't have to go far for rural. it was a great trip and i'll post tomorrow our pics. it was a beautiful day for it. a little chilly up there, but absolutely gorgeous in the Pecos National Forest. almost another place for me to live amongst the green. almost. a little too rugged for me actually. but a little town set down in the valley. maybe a population of 30 people. anyways it was a great trip. i learned a little more about Jesse. interesting indeed. he's his own character for sure. i love him!
then i came home and finished Marley and Me. if you haven't read it, it is a must read. especially if you're a canine lover. it had me rollin in tears of laughter last night. tears of sadness tonite with his passing. but i feel so much better about my Boo and all the messes she creates around here. i also don't feel so bad about so much dog hair that my Jimmy sheds all the time. i no longer feel alone in the cleaning dept when it comes to cleaning up after them. Marley stole my heart and so did John Grogan and his family. what i've endured with my dogs is nothing compared to what Marley did. but you just love 'em all the same anyways. My dogs are my best friends in their own special ways. not enough can be said about their loyalty and unconditional love. i am blessed to have my two as well as the countless before them. i had a small herd of them at one time. 6 to be exact. if i had a bigger place i might just have more. but right now my two are plenty. eventually i'll get down to one, but these two are perfect for now. they keep each other company while i'm away. it makes them very happy. me too. so anyways, if you haven't read this book, i HIGHLY recommend it. it's a great heart warming story and more......
right now it's late. after midnight and waaaay past my bedtime. i just deleted a photo here and i'll repost it another time. tomorrow i promise to be more cohesive. i've been up tooo long....lol.

I bet it was very beautiful up there. I loved New Mexico when we passed through and wanted to move there. I loved the book also. I could see my dog in it also.
Hi Karen! Just stopped by this evening...oops, it's morning by now. I'm way up past my usual bedtime!!! That's because there's no school tomorrow and I'm driving to Baltimore in a few hours. I loved the photos you posted of your New Mexico region... and your words about your friends, and about your dogs. I haven't read Marley and Me... saw the previews to the movie that will be out soon, though. You know I miss my pups so much... I don't dare to start loving another dog just yet. I will again one day, I am sure, but can't bear the thought of leaving a new dog at home alone all day long. That's why I had two ... to keep each other company. Losing them both so close together, I just never saw that coming. Could be one could not live without the other??? I don't know. I love your blog. Will come back. Have a Happy thanksgiving, Karen!
