What a view I have

Today I woke up feeling less-than-well with a sore throat that I would wish on no one. After some coheresing of myself and a lot of cups of warm tea, I feel MUCH better.

I am super lucky to have the friends I do (that includes all of you), but today I am super lucky to have the Lynch's as two of my best friends. 

You see, Chris and Carolyn are off in some foreign island on a wonderful tropical vacation. At first, anyone would be jealous. I know they're going to come back tanned and rested and ready for anything. 

The beauty comes in this: I am house and dog sitting this afternoon. The house is on a lake and awesome and QUIET! And I love Grrrrrl, Dakota, and my Simon. I brought my computer and prepared a PowerPoint presentation for class tomorrow and almost fell asleep with a poodle mix on my lap. This is the epitome of relaxation. Now do you see the beauty?

More dog time now. And time on the deck to enjoy this gorgeous weather. 

Hope everyone's weekend is swell!!
