Addicted to Blove

The interesting thing about blogging is that everything becomes interesting. For example, it was interesting to note where we might be headed today, to the beach, had my Mom not left without us this morning. Ok, it's slightly more complicated than that, we were out pretty late, something about a pub, siblings-in-law and ice cream shops shutting down in the winter.

Anyhoo! When one blogs, one really starts to examine the mundane. For example, I discovered that my yellow lab, who happens to be female, truly understands most of the English language. I know this because 1) she just does, and 2) when we had an entire conversation about taking my son to the playground, and whether or not we had left enough time before lunch, yadda yadda, there she was... sitting right behind me, so that when I moved, I tripped over her. She then followed me around until it became clear that she, too, was heading to the playground (and large trail system,) if we were. It was that simple. This is her 'waiting' pose:


I also find that mundane details that are captured via camera are much more exciting. For example, I simply stated a few days ago that we tailgated, what I didn't mention was the sea of others around us:


And finally, alas.. where we are NOT today (but could be:)
