New pup

Her name is Piper. She is 8 weeks old. She's a Llewellin Setter.

She has a very strong personality. She will not sleep in her crate. She will not hang out in her crate. She wants to be where the action is.

But since she's a puppy, she stays awake with everyone as long as she can and then she can't stay awake anymore. And falls asleep. But only on laps. No crates.

On a lap she'll sleep for hours. And hours.  And hours. Just no crates. Absolutely not.

stuart and diane's place

stuart likes to have some new shirts on hand for special occasions

 

diane saves everything, like a length of old linen lace and a lone plate

wooden hangers from the 1920s hang in their closet, unburdened

diane still has her mother's childhood sunday dress

on the second floor landing, an old pint milk jar sits on a chenille rug

diane commandeered stuart's old toolbox for her own collection

at night they both dream of oregon, a trip to the coast they'd like to take.

All the amazing wonders of the world in one place
