nice weekend!

So we went up to Fairbanks to visit Ted’s parents this weekend, which was very nice indeed. We went to the fair and bought a great deal of pottery (I now have CANISTERS! They’re lovely!

I shall walk the dog after my meeting, and later tonight I shall take her into the FENCED BACK YARD and throw her ball until she’s exhausted from playing. Muahahahah. :) music: Moulin Rouge
