The cats are so happy when we open the all the windows and back door. They love to run in and out chasing each other and the leaves. This pretty girl is Tofu and she stands on business. (That business is mainly wandering around in the woods and sleeping on the heated blanket.)

Dad’s birthday dinner last night. He even cooked for us (yummy tex-mex risotto) on his own birthday! The best dad award has always gone to this guy. The older I get, the more grateful I am for his parenting… and that’s saying something because I knew how insanely lucky I was when I was kid, too.
