Shelby grabbed me this morning early and we headed downtown to my bank. I had a bag full of change to deposit, and needed some cash and a few checks.

Then we looked at a house for rent near downtown, as an option for upcoming scenarios. Nice, big fenced backyard, quiet neighborhood with a church across the street.

Then we hit McDonalds up near the Navel Base, then went to their place and cleaned and painted the kitchen drawers all afternoon. They have Dan's family coming in from the North shortly.

There's also four dogs there, the big black labs Topper and Nessi, Shelby's Zinny, and a new little dog who's name is in progress. Or maybe I can't remember it.

Topper and I became good buddies when I dog sat last year, and he climbed up on me when I took a break.

A sweet dog, he thinks he weighs 10 pounds, but he's actually at ninty five.

Notice the blue crumbs around his nose, he had destroyed a blue plastic toy eariler.
