Zoey Does Understand Naps are Important

Our puppy has figured out how to stretch out and enjoy a good nap in the office.  Notice the body twist to relax her back and make sure she gets relaxed and ready for the next hunt.

Our front entrance needed a dog paw doorbell.

You must admit, it does make you smile.  Lots of giggles when folks reach to push the button.

Our guest that decided to stay at the front door.

It took many days for Zoey at accept the headless woman that came in the UPS box.

The yard sculptures were joined by a great new acquisition.

We were very lucky to acquire the new flower as it is a really cool display.

The bell tolls for us

This old bell comes from a steam powered railroad engine that Great-Grandpa Turre Sandstrom salvaged a long time ago.  The engine named "Edna Mae" after my Grandma by Grandpa is on display in Two Harbors Minnesota as part of the history display in the downtown park.  Railroads were a big part of developing upper Minnesota as the mines and lumber industries were created.

Life is good and each day brings many new adventures when you are one.

Aaron visits with his family

It was great fun to have waffles and bacon with Grandpa for breakfast and enjoy the nice weather.

Zoey's New Rug

Those of you that have a dog can appreciate this picture. Zoey's feet were the first to walk on it, followed by rolling around on it and of course having your picture taken with it.

Eagle Spotting in the Trees

We have a pair of Eagles that come hunting along the creek several times each day. Because the water is open they are looking for ducks, fish, etc. Magnificent views of them flying.
