Happy Sunday.
It is going to be a HOT one over here…
which means I set the alarm and was up early to get moving before the heat fires up this morning.
And I have mixed feelings about that in some ways. I love to get up early- but I do enjoy that extra bit of snooze time on the weekends too. But it out also feels good to get my run in early and enjoy a cup of coffee out on the patio when it is cool.
This week has been a bit of a busy one. With a whole lot of road tripping and driving, a birthday celebration, a new grand dog and…. something super exciting.
Birthday Boy
My middle guys birthday was last week- I cannot believe he is 23 years old already!!
We hopped in the car with cake and balloons and took a bit of a road trip to see him in Chico and celebrate.
It has been years since I have been to Chico- we had a great time having lunch at one of his favorite spots, visiting and playing with my grand dog Ivy – who is great at doing tricks while hoping for a nibble of birthday cake. 🙂
Bike Trails
Recently, we have loaded up our bikes and taking a bit of a drive to trek out into the wilderness a bit to do a bit of biking. While I love to jog almost everyday- sometimes, you need to mix it up a bit. Mountain biking is a bit more work than beach biking of course- and we don’t bring Sweet Pea along to ride in the basket like we normally would- it is just too bumpy and up and down for her. But it is a fun thing to do.
Cleo
Meet Cleo.
You might remember that recently our grand dog Mr. Weenie passed away. My daughter has been missing him so much and she has been thinking about finding a new fur friend. For her birthday coming up- she requested we simply just take a look and see if we found a dachshund to adopt.
She saw Cleo’s face and she looks so much like Weenie- she was the one.
Of course, photo shoots coming your way. You know I can’t resist photographing a sweet face.
Faded pillows
Last week on IG, I shared these faded beauties… that are not actually faded.
I will share all the details on them this week.
And…. stay tuned for a sneak peek of something exciting coming your way on FB and IG stories.

I am not sure if I hit wrong key or not, can't find where I typed. So sorry if this is a second message, at least this one is finished. Your little furbaby is adorable, makes me want to have cuddle time. Happy Birthday to your son also. Mine just turned 39 this June, I still think of him as my little guy! Have a blessed day.
Happy Birthday to your son!
Dapple! That's the word I was looking for:). I was visiting my mom and sister in So Cal and their neighbor has a 2 month dapple mini doxi name Poppie:). Their last one passed and always had a Doxie, so sweet and friendly:).
