Back in the highlife again

Whew. Finally back. I find around saturday afternoon I start to notice a spring in my step, and Mere, too, starts to ask how I'm feeling, as she can also see a different look in my eye.

It's good to be back. This weeks round was particularly rough for me, so am real pumped to get past the 'green' days this time.

So, first real snow last night (not tons, but 4-5 inches, enough to totally cover all grass), and we got up real early and took the dogs to the park. I wish our camera wasn't outta juice when we got there, b/c Mere and I realized seeing two old dogs bust fresh tracks in new snow, while going all out for tennis ball fetch, is truly a satisfying event. Love seeing them splash about and just bound thru the pristine snow. Acting like puppies is a big deal for two old dogs, and there's something so soothing about watching them get first tracks. Just feels good.

Ando...so glad to hear the spring is back in your step...and those two old dogs are acting like pups in the fresh now...what a lovely visual. Sending lots of love to you, dear Mere and our sweet granddoggers from two old dogs back East. Love you so...

"I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
And on I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again"

That's perfect Patrick. Should have used it in Andy's Chemo Calendar. And thanks for keeping our boy in your thoughts and prayers...that goes to all you "bloggers"; Sue and I are so thankful Andy and Mere have such terrific friends. They are both truly blessed, as are we, to have you all by their side as they go through this. Thanks to all, and best wishes for wonderful holidays!

That does paint a lovely visual. I loved watching the dogs play in the snow when we were out there, it is relaxing to see them get so much enjoyment over little things.
Great great great to hear you are feeling better! I can't wait to see you two over the holidays. Love to you both
