Linda has a very good friend who turned 40 this week. That is one of the reasons she has been gone so much. A BBQ party Saturday and dinner out last night at a restaurant to honor Laura's big 40th. (Not to mention the big BBQ yesterday.) She promised that the celebrations are over and she will be home more. I'm glad she is having fun, but I've been stuck inside alone. I need a buddy, maybe she'll adopt another puppy for me to play with.
