Good morning, I hope everyone is doing well this morning.

I started out with a cloud picture taken by my granddaughter, Victoria. She participated in a Creative Arts and Crafts day camp sponsored by my church. She loves clouds so this was one of her favorite pictures.

Don't let the clouds fool you, however, there is no water in them! We still haven't had any rain at our house. It is terribly dry here -- a record breaking drought.

Mom went home and we are back to just the 3 of us -- that number includes Gracie, of course.

Gracie is grieving because her friend, Zoe, went home with my Mom. We figured that G spend about 9 or 10 weeks with Zoe this summer and she really misses her. We've considered getting another dog to be a companion to Gracie, but just don't think we can handle that. I'll have to arrange a play date so she has someone to play with!
