Excellent day. Got to spend some time with my niece Annette. She drove me for my blood test and then we went to Costco. I noticed something a bit strange at the blood test place. The person who checked me in put gloves on specifically to get papers out of the file cabinet. Then she took them off. Personally I would be wearing gloves to take the paperwork from the real life germ carrying people not while working with paper only but what do I know?

Here are a few pictures from yesterday's walk.

Today's walk was shorter. For some reason Harrison was nervous. I noticed that there were a lot of airplanes overhead tonight, so maybe they were practicing for the air show.

So we stayed mostly on the porch. Which was awesome anyway because look what I got for Harrison at Cosco:

Could not be happier. Ate it like corncob.

Then he just kind of stared happily at it.

Finally got a chance to work with the pictures of Cooper that I took on Wednesday. It's a lot of fun. You can see it here.

Finished another article today. Too tired to download my big camera or do what I want to do with the pictures of Cooper yesterday. That's the way it is in the working world isn't it? Your hobbies come second.

Here's an awesome picture of Cooper that Dana posted today.

So cute.

Speaking of cute Rebekah from out east continues to be a cutie cutie pie!

She and her daddy sleep like don't you think?

Today's Internet funnies:

A beary good day

What a joy to write about today! First of all my knee came back just fine from yesterday's over walking. Yay!

Bobby, my physio person, has also been teaching me how to strengthen my back. It's been hinting that with all this new fangled straight walking, and having two legs the same length again it might want to go out. I'm hoping to nip that in the bud by strengthening it. I haven't stood up straight while I walk for years and years.

Harrison was willing to go for a longer walk today after we watched Chippie for good 20 minutes or more locked in a death glare match.

I am amused myself during the standoff by taking pictures of the new buds and some birds.

Take off!

Finally the chippy took off and Harrison was ready to move on.

I'm wondering how long it will be until someone actually picks up this red glove and throws it away. I realize I could be that person, but I'm conducting an experiment here.

Can you see the love in Harrison's eyes? He loves this dead Cedar tree. He communed with it for a good 20 minutes.

That's when I realized I was getting a lot of sun and didn't have a hat. I had to turn the walk around which was a little dramatic for Mr. Harrison. But I will dig out the sunscreen tomorrow.

We did stop in the shade to watch this bird.

Then our people came! We were sitting out on the porch with Harrison having fun…

when we got an unexpected visitor!

Harrison immediately turned on the Halloween cat special effects and hustled indoors.

But Bear, as we found out on his collar, was quite a friendly well kept dog.

Karen was able to read his phone number off of his collar tag and I called his owner. It took about three calls but his owner was finally able to find us. He was very grateful. I'm glad Bear came to us, he was a lovely fellow and not all of my neighbors were happy to see him. Emily wants a dog just like him someday.

Then it was time for a Cooper visit! Pictures tomorrow but here's a teaser:

After a super fun swim where I told the kids the good news about the CT scan we went grocery shopping. We were all so hungry we could've eaten one of everything in the whole store!

I went ahead and lost my bank card out of my pocket. This led to a lot of retracing of steps but in the end someone had kindly turned it in already. Whew!

So as you can see quite an adventurous day!
