new year’s potential

This was one of John’s Christmas gifts: framed photos of the dogs for his office (THIS one of Mickey (although I re-edited it so it looks less fluorescent and more natural, over editing, what?) and THIS one of Kayloo (changed the crop)). I am in a very contemplative mood this New Years Eve. There is [...]

dessert included

As I mentioned, John, my dad and my brother do all the work on Christmas Eve. Fortunately for the Ladies Who Lounge, “all the work” also included dessert.

ready for our close-ups

We were asked to arrive for the 3rd annual Man and his Dog (and some women too) fashion show between 6:15 and 6:30pm on Wednesday night. Much to John’s chagrin I was hopped up on adrenaline and nerves and we arrived at 5:45pm. Or maybe it was 5:40pm. Or 5:36pm. In any case we were the first [...]
