Whew...Dog Sitter Found!

Things are falling into place. I was probably most worried about what we were going to do with our mongrels while we were gone than anything else. We've got 3 large dogs (Madelyn, Rusty & Grim), a chihuahua (Teddy) and a cat (Clementine).

This is my brother (on the left), Dennis (on the right) and me (the short one).

Tim is going to stay at our house while we're gone (Yay!!) and you can't imagine what a load off that is. He has no idea what's in store for him though. We live in a neighborhood that really looks out for each other. We're very fortunate. I know everyone's going to be bringing him homemade enchiladas and tamales and checking in on him to see if he needs anything. Melinda, across the street, is a fabulous cook and loves to do it (unlike me) so she's always cooking too much and bringing something over. Tim's going to gain 20 lbs by the time we're home.

I feel like the luckiest person in the world right now.
