HAVE YOU SEEN OUR DOG?






Sugar went missing last week and she still has not returned. I'm posting a picture so that all of you can keep an eye out for her too. She is sorely missed by all of us. She's a honey-colored lab/terrier mix: honey-colored on top with white shoulder blades and white underneath. She was wearing a purple collar decorated with white bones.

Hannahology




This is the latest "Tag" floating around Facebook. It's a bunch of questions that I asked each of my children about me. Some of their answers really made me laugh, so I thought I'd post them here too. I asked them each separately so they wouldn't copy each other's answers. It was a lot of fun to do, but it did take a while to get through it all with each of them. Therefore, I'm not tagging anyone. But feel free to take it on, if you so desire.
