Happy 9th Birthday Baxter Allen

9 years ago today, Bob and I walked into a pet shop when we were dating and decided to pick out a puppy. Out the door we went, with a beautiful yorkie/doxie mix and we decided to name him Baxter Allen. In his first year, he chewed up all of our favorite furniture but we still loved him. Bob worked closest to our home at 9th and Wabash, so he would walk home on his lunch hour to take Baxie for a walk. After work, Bob and I would walk him around Grant park in Chicago and just enjoy the beautiful Chicago nights off of the lake front. Fast forward 9 years later. Baxie has two new friends, Isabella Marie and Giselle Eloise. He has, and always will be a LOYAL, LOVING dog. TO ALL OF US. CHEERS to you BAXTER ALLEN!! May we continue creating memories and sharing LOTS of SMILES! Now go ahead and BLOW OUT YOUR CAKE BIG GUY!! YOU deserve it on your special day. XOXXOXOX

Family Golf

Bob came home from work today and mentioned that he needed to work on his golf game. Out the clubs came and away we went. The girls got a lesson in golfing 101 and as for me, I lit up like a Christmas tree. You can take me golfing ANYTIME. I LOVE playing golf and sure was happy to hit some balls, as I used to work at a golf course. In time, perhaps, we can have a little family competition on the greens. Nothing more challenging, yet invigorating and relaxing...all at the same time : ) Anyone want to go bowling??? You get the joke...
