Vampires & Werewolves!

My life has been busy! I haven’t had a lot of spare time in the past two weeks, but what time I’ve had has been spent in the company of vampires and werewolves. Yes, I finally decided to read the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. I started Twilight on a Saturday night and turned the final page in Breaking Dawn eleven nights later. Despite the late hour that I finished the last book, I wasn’t able to sleep. The characters and their lives kept playing through my mind. I love writers that are able to make me feel that way about their characters. I knew from reading The Host earlier in the year that I liked Meyer’s writing style and these books were equally as good. I miss Bella, Edward, Jacob and all the rest. At least I have the movie to look forward to!

Esther, our rottie-girl celebrated her 9th birthday this past Monday! No party hats for her. She wouldn’t have been any happier to wear one than Betty was, so I decided I wouldn't torture her. She did get to have yogurt on her food that morning along with lots of extra treats during the day. Here’s a picture of her playing ball last week. Still in pretty good shape for an “older woman”!

We have a new baby donkey! It was born yesterday, but I haven’t had a chance to see it yet. I’ll try to post a picture and details soon.
