Call of the Phoebe

Well I have my flights to Haiti figured out;
We leave home on June 18, then travel to Houston, Tx, where my brother picks us up. We stay with them in LA for 5 days., then on the 23rd we drive back to Houston, I fly alone to Haiti, and Owl stays with my brother and his family. I'll be staying at Walls that is located directly across the street from the orphanage. Then on the 27th, I fly back to Houston, my family meets me there, we stay overnight in Houston and then on the 28th Owl and I fly back home. It will be busy, kind of like her pick-up trip...but I'll tell that story on her anniversary date...May 11.

This has been an exhausting week. The work is long, the kids are restless, the weather has turned cold, yet my resident chipmunk has come out of hibernation...it should have waited another week!!! Owl and I seem to be extra tired and cranky.

Last night, just like every other Tuesday my niece, friend and I get together at my house and scrapbook. We don't always scrapbook though, sometimes my friend knits, my niece puts stamps together or I prepare dossier papers, but last night not much was accomplished because M, my niece brought over her new 6 1/2 week old puppy for us to see. He played with my three dogs, running around the kitchen for a good hour or so, and then crashed in her arms...the pictures tell the story. Owl was in bed by this time, but she will get to meet him on Easter.

The dog's name is Evo, short for evolution, in honor of the car, not the theory!!
