Friday Foto Challenge: Irreplaceable!

A Day in the Life of Piper

A while ago I received a lovely book entitled "A Day in the Life of America". For this book several photographers were asked to take pictures of their world on one particular date. The photos were compiled into the book. It is a wonderful snapshot of live on day in our country. There was a day last week that I was working at home, grading papers. I was planning to spend the entire day at my desk and decided to conduct my own "A Day in the Life of..." photo shoot. At 2 hour intervals I grabbed the camera and took Piper's picture...wherever she was and whatever she was doing. I chose 9 photographs to present. The first one was taken at 8 am and the last one was taken right about midnight. You will notice a significant lack of action. For some she didn't even pick her head up to see what I was doing.

Ah...it truly is a dog's life.

Fall in Minnesota

Yesterday we were both off and decided to embark on an adventure. We put the dogs in the truck and headed to the north shore. We drove through Duluth and up to Silver Bay where we found our friend Marsha at the cabin. We paid her a visit, enjoying a stop at Split Rock Lighthouse on the way. We headed home after dinner at the Scenic Cafe (excellent!) with two very tired dogs! Enjoy the photos.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

It's always something...October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please~check yourself, schedule your mammogram, support a breast cancer group with a donation, buy Amy's Blend at Caribou or just hug a woman who has dealt with the disease.

Thank you for the support and compassion you all have shown me as I have learned to live with breast cancer.
