“A Joyful face is always a beautiful face.” – Sadhguru
Meet Cooper! And thank goodness a picture is worth 1,000 words because I’m too tired to write anything.
In fact, the whole getting a puppy thing has been so monumental this week that I pretty much forgot that we also did other things this week like going to IKEA and building a loft bed, an outing on my brother’s tugboat to see the Blue Angels perform, and other usual fun until I looked at the pictures. So here are two pictures from SeaFair.
The sign and the heart of the week (raspberry cookies from IKEA) as demonstrated by Miss O.
Hope you all have had a great week!

Since a cooper is one who works on barrels and casks, I think Cooper is going to be one helpful dog!

Cute puppy, sadly true sign, and beautiful smiling people!
I was out for a run in Cheyenne, Wyoming several years ago, and the Blue Angels were doing an exhibition above me. That was a rush!! Especially when they all hit the afterburners!

Whenever I’m out hiking with my littler one and he sees a baby, he’ll make this roar of appreciation and follow it with a likewise-roared, “SO CUTE!” This is about my reaction to all the puppy-with-fam pictures. 😀
