Some sad news...

Please excuse my lack of posting recently, I've had other things on my mind.  Not only have the Mister and I been consumed with holiday events, we just found out that one of the Mister's dogs, Maka, has a very aggressive form of doggie cancer and will have to be put down.  The news was a shock to all of us.  

And so while most people are joyful and celebrating, I am finding comfort spending some quiet time with the Mister remembering all the fun we had with Maka.
