Love Like This Life

For some reason, Typepad will only let me post a little picture for this one.  Hmm.  How symbolic.  Brokaw will have to get used to the idea of having a little bit smaller of a role.  Aaawww.  Poor puppy!  He did really well this weekend.  Michael was the "alpha" dog.  I'm apparently "beta" or something, because Lord knows that dog sure doesn't feel threatened by me!

 Saturday afternoon, we did our press rollout, on Facebook of course!  We got SO MANY congratulations and well wishes, it was overwhelming!  I felt so special and loved!!

Saturday night, we got together with some of my favorite people on the planet for dinner at my apartment.

I have to pause here and thank Gretchen & Jason for bringing DINNER.  My pork roast was a little late getting into the oven, and after a Google search failed to turn up a fix for my problem, I had to make an emergency call.

And Gretchen, Jason & Nicole showed up with two chickens from Harris Teeter.  I will now be known "Cindy."  My mother.
But that's cool! :)
  We went on the Ghost & Graveyard Tour in Old Town Alexandria.

And like last year, it was a good time!

Also like last year, Gretchen and I took some inappropriate pictures on top of centuries-old graves.

 

A swan like gourd told me a secret ghost story.
