TGIF! It’s August! The summer is flying by. And now it’s time to share 5 random things about our week. Here’s mine:

1. Monday was frustrating as an accident shut down a major freeway, preventing us from getting to an appointment at my mother in law’s house. Obviously it was regarding my mother in law, and it mattered. One of Wizard’s brothers handled it and did great. But it was still frustrating. That said, I guess the people who had the serious car accident with a big rig that shut down the freeway and clogged up all the other access routes had a worse day than us.
2. We did finally get the rock around our deck! So I can start looking at what I want to put there, which is the fun part.
3. I gave Maggie a small bully stick outside that she loved. She chewed on it every chance she got, but I wouldn’t let her bring it in the house. She’d come to the door holding it in her mouth like a cigar. I’d tell her she can’t bring it in the house, then she’s turn her her and spit it out. It looked so ridiculous.  When I get up at 5:30 am she had to go out there and check her stick, now that was cute. The best news is we are finding bones and chews that don’t appear to upset her digestion.
4. This week, Maggie and I hit the 2 and a 1/2 mile milestone a couple times in our morning walks. Maggie seems to be happy with the walks and not suffering any detectable soreness later in the day or evening. She’s an older girl but appears healthy. I’m grateful for that.
5. This weekend is a bit busy. It’s my birthday, so Wizard and I are planning to go to a nice dinner Friday night at our favorite steakhouse. Saturday evening we’re going to a fun dinner with Youngest and his wife. Sunday Wizard and I are going to see Turbo and his mom. His dad will be around but is also catching up on some work since he was gone last weekend. I’m looking forward to seeing him, then hopefully CiGi next week.

That’s my five, now I’d love to hear yours! I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend!
