Our New Bundle Of Joy: Zoe

Pam and I started researching types of dogs before we left Florida. I remember when she showed me some Youtube videos of Boston Terriers. I liked their personality and responses to humans.

We've been here for two months, now, and finally found an American Canine Association-registered breeder we liked in Oklahoma. They had pictures of the litter on their website, and we both picked the same one immediately. We thought her markings were the best of all that saw.

Funny thing was, she was half the price of all of her siblings because their coloring was redder.

She has definitely brought a lot of love, care, and action to us so far. This first week has really flown by. Her wet kisses and perky ears welcome us home and awaken our slumbers. She's been a terrific addition to our family.

Sundays At Home Are Best

Making tortilla chips.

Sundays are my day of rest. Pam and I take it easy on this day. She does the cooking 6 days of the week, while I do the dishes the next morning on my way to work. It's a good system. I'm blessed to have such a great cook as my partner.

But I like to do some cooking, as well. Not only do I like it, but I like to give her a little break from the duties. I started making tortilla chips a couple of weeks ago, and have been doing it as a recurring treat on the weekends.

With the organic salsa we got at the Farmer's Market yesterday, it's a perfect Sunday meal.

The Genius Of Da Vinci

When Pam and I made it here after driving for three days, one of the first things we saw on the local news was a story about a nearby museum's traveling exhibit of Da Vinci inventions. We were tired, weary, and had lots of things to worry about (jobs, place to live, etc), but we both decided that we should go to see it before it left our area.

Here's some of the replicas of Da Vinci's inventions from 1493:
