I wonder if I want a puppy?

Sand3aye wonders what it would be like to have a puppy...

This one fits the bill. She's a feisty lil thang.

What anesthetic?

Look at the size of those paws! Ruh roh!

Proud "Rom"

Big day!

So do you think we got a new dog?

We were just going to go look. Honest. She was the first one that I really saw.

Greetings,
How are you doing? I have believed that one has to risk confiding in another to succeed in life.

My name is Mr. Goodluck Eshie. I am the son of late Chief & Mrs. Richard Eshie, the Chairman of Ivory Coast Cocoa Board. He was a wealthy Cocoa and Timber merchant in Abidjan - Cote D’ivorie. It is sad to tell you that he was poisoned to death by his business associate on his business trip. My mother died when I was young and since then my father took me so special.

Before his death in the hospital, he told me about the amount of Eighteen Million US$ ($18,000,000.00) and 100kg of gold dust which he deposited as family treasure for safe keeping in a vault in Ghana . I am indicated as next of kin and I have confirmed in the company with the documents about the existence.

My father warn me that it because of his wealth and politics that he was poisoned therefore I should seek for a foreign partner outside Africa that I can transfer this money for investments. This instruction was given to the safe keeping company. I therefore want you to assist me receive the funds in your desired country or designated bank account for profitable ventures. I will offer you 30% of the total funds for your services. Be informed that all charges has been paid to the security company but we need to get some kind of High Court notarize change of ownership documents that would surely reflect your name as new beneficiary or my foreign partner of the funds because that is to permit the claim as stated by my father. I have discussed with one lawyer to help me to secure the needed notarize document from the High Court as soon as I have assistant. I trust him because he is a good lawyer, also a former speaker of parliament, Republic of Ghana . He told me to get a reliable beneficiary that can not cheat

Best regard,

Goodluck Eshie.

Poke chops and Greek potatoes

One of our favorite dinners.

Mrs. Beisbolfan said, "Sounds pretty good when you put it in restaurant-speak!"

This is a vintage picture of the dinner. Different salad, but you get the idea...

Here Javelina Javelina Javelina!

Mmmmm, carroty!

Cute, but nasty

Run away!

I was going down to the mail box this morning when I heard feetsteps coming from the yard next door. It's always startling to see these big guys. We'd thrown a carrot in the front yard for the bunnies since S3 doesn't like carrots as much as Peeps did. Apparently this Javelina likes them, too. So much for feeding the bunnies.

You've heard of the expression, "Speak of the Devil"? We were on our walk earlier this morning talking about which dogs I had heard were attacked by Javelinas and where the Javalina packs had come through the neighborhood. Mrs. Beisbolfan hadn't seen any on our walks, but I and our friend Mr. G had. So had Peeps and S3. The pups were interested, but wary. Good doggies!

When I saw the group walking across the street from the wash on one side to the other, there were little baby J's that were bouncing up and down, chasing each other and generally behaving like all little kids do.

Heavens above!

The sky was still light. Venus is the brighter of the planets.

Quite a sight

Monday was a nice night to go view the spectacular conjunction of the crescent Moon with the planets Venus and Jupiter. I tried to get some pictures, but holding the camera isn't the way to do it. The pictures don't do it justice.
