New Family member

Welcome to our newest family member....This photo

says it all!!!  We went round and round on naming

her...Hannah, Beemer, Asta, Bullet, LT (Little Terror),

but finally decided on SCOUT.  So, welcome to the

family Scout.

 

She is a rescue dog.  We were on our way to Tractor
Supply (a store) to go look at chicks and ducks, just
for fun.  As we were walking towards the store we
heard the sound of barking.  Turns out that a local
animal rescue was there at the back of the store.  I
warned Chris not to venture out back, but the draw of
the "help me" barks was too strong.  Long story short,
we ended up with this docile, cute, lovable puppy. Oh,
did I say docile....wrong answer, well for at least now.

LT, I mean Scout, has some Terrior in her.  We think
Jack Russell and a bit of something else.  The Rescue
society didn't have much info, other than she was picked
up as a stray and thought she was about 3-4 months old.

Here are assorted photos of our bundle of energy...

Merry Christmas

Well, it has been a fast paced two weeks back in the US. We have logged almost 1,700 miles on the car since we have been back, but we have managed to get a lot accomplished in a short amount of time. Our latest conquest was at a car dealership. Chris is now the proud new owner of her dream car (well, excluding the Jaguar dear). Santa was good to us, she now has a beautiful 2006 Volvo XC70 Cross Country AWD Turbo wagon. The dealer let us take it out for a two day test drive and it is a great ride. Adjectives like: Comfortable, Safe, Zippy, Roomy, & Solid come to mind.


So, how did we spend our Christmas? Well, it wasn't a white Christmas, but it was a nice one nonetheless. Christmas eve dinner was special as Chris got to spend it with a girlfriend she had not seen in 22 years. It was nice for her to rekindle and old relationship and for us to spend a lovely evening topped off by a scrumptious prime rib dinner. And here is a picture of the "ruler" of the house that we stayed at.....Roxie is my name, getting pampered is my game.



And how was our Christmas dinner? Well, it certainly wasn't as plush as the previous night, but we still managed to pull off a nice meal of breast of turkey and acorn squash. Here I am enjoying the meal in Chris' new apartment.



Well, as you can imagine life will be busy trying to set up two new residences (one in NC and one in GA), but I will try to post updates as we go along.

And if I don't get to it....Happy New Year to all!!!
