I am back!!

Its been a crazy week here. But I am back up and running. The wash pile is getting smaller, the boys are all headed back to their homes after a wonderful visit this past few days and Alex is back at school.
I have picked out my new flooring and carpeting and that too will soon be behind me. For anyone who has missed that one we had soot damage last Thanksgiving and have had to have everything and I mean everything either cleaned, painted or replaced and now I am down to the flooring. Since we basically live in a ranch with very high ceilings everything was touched by the soot. Hopefully I will have the floors started next week sometime.
Luckily the dogs have all been pretty quiet and not causing any unusual commotion, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been any.
More on all of that to come.

Politics and Fido

...a Latin name meaning "I am faithful." As such it is a terrific name for the average protective and loyal family dog. However, it gets its popularity from a celebrity tie-in. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln, a largely self-educated but very erudite man, named his dog Fido. Americans followed suit in droves, putting the dog name Fido firmly in the top 20 names. Lincoln’s choice of Fido for his dog’s name was perfectly logical. Fido is the Latin for faithful, which when dealing with any pet dog is entirely appropriate
