This is a long post, so best to break it into sections. Great visit with Mike's mom and Gene in St. Louie. First up: the travel out.
 |
| Snooze on the way out. Just 2 hours, mostly snoozing. |
Comfy Chair:
Many comfy photos
Mike took the following photos of Maddy in the Chair of Choice.
Why edit when you can post them all?
Outside: The back yard, and the neighborhood.
 |
| Come out now! The backyard calls. |
 |
| Lots o’ frisbee. |
 |
| The inexplicable reticulated wooden snake was still on the deck — fun! |
 |
| Loved chasing up and down the hill in the back. Close-up below. |
 |
| Off-leash training on the low-traffic street out front. |
 |
| General happiness. |
Hanging out.
 |
| A nod to Norman Rockwell. Hey Dad, what’s up? |
 |
| Good old Weasel wrestle. |
 |
| Maddy moves in on Marian. Lady (limp dog on the left) is too asleep to notice. |
Naps. Necessary, and often.
Caravaggio light. The dark paneling and bright sun
coming in through the large windows create some
lovely effects.
Heading home.
 |
| A little dazed. |
 |
| Cheerios lined up to help us relax. |
 |
| What’s that? We're home? Yay! |
