Saturday of a Lazy Nature

Duff was up before the sun it seemed to go to the Trabuco building to help relandscape it.  He got home around noon and said it went really well.  They got all the old plants ripped out, the ground amended and conditioned and the new plant materials in.  He is tired and sore.  We pretty much just puttered around the house and enjoyed a Saturday with no big things to do or places to be.

Josh and Meredith went to one of his co-worker's wedding in the valley.  We were on Gidget babysitting duty.  Sammy was here working on the LAST of the AP Euro projects for the year with Christine and Gidgie-Girl loved napping between them on their laptops.

When she is asleep, she is OUT.  Limp as a rag. And she likes to cross her hind legs.

Funny girl.

Fast Sunday Dinner and Family Home Evening

Today the kids came over for our fast Sunday dinner and monthly FHE.  We had a good old fashioned roast beef spread.  Why is it that there is just nothing like it on a Sunday after church?  It just seems to make everything 'rose-colored', even the weather.

Duff gave a lesson on the Priesthood and tied it in scripturally with things that we learn about while we visit the temple.  It was very uplifting and good.

Gidget is worming her way into all of our hearts.  It's not very hard though--she's so blasted cute!

Gidget

Meet Gidget!

 Josh and Meredith got a cute little puppy today!

She is a Cockapoo.

They got her from a rescue shelter in Van Nuys this morning.

Her original name was 'Darla'. 

It was a sign!  

Meredith loves all things Gidget.

The movies, the tv series.  In some ways she is a Gidget herself--growing up surfing at the beaches. 

Gidgi-Girl already responds to her name and is in love with Mere.

They stopped here on their way home and Christine and I went with her to Petsmart to get all the necessary doggie things.  Bed, treats, collar (with bling, of course.  Duffy dogs have to have bling), leash, toys, food, dish, kennel/crate, tags, and training rewards. The gal who walked us through the store really knew her stuff and I even learned some new things.

I wonder if I'm ready for a new dog yet.  I could call it 'Moondoggie'.

You know.  Gidget's boyfried.  Hahaha!

I think this little one has stolen all of our hearts already.
