Happy Anniversary Molly and Paul

This is the end of the 50 year anniversary chapter.  I started with their 50th and today they made 51.  Congratulations my dears.  Thank you both for being such a wonderful part of my journey.

The backyard and bird sanctuary is icy, unfortunately, so I could not go out into it, but Ozzie could. He took a small jaunt out into the yard and sniffed at all the birdfeeders.

I think I've introduced Ozzie before, he's David's dog.  He's very well behaved and I babysat or dogsat for him today.

Because I've been away most of the week I have not been to the pool in a week.  Having Ozzie forced me to take a short walk, not enough for him, but good for me. 

I decided not to carry the Sony while I had the dog on a leash so a lot of these are taken with my phone.  I did not take them in black and white.  The world was grey today.

I actually got some work done on my manuscript today.  It was good to do the organization and to begin to order them.  I have 22 chosen and I think I only want 18 in the book, but we'll see.  I'm going to discard 4 tonight.

David brought some food and Di was here, so the three of us had a nice simple dinner.  It was nice to sit at a table and eat with friends. I did that for 2 of the nights I was here.  I liked having the resources to do it comfortably.  

We're warming up again and I couldn't tell if it was going to rain or snow today.  Here it stayed rainy.  

So 50 years.  I guess I am going to actually leave middle age soon.  LOL.
