Drawing food, is very hard to do, I couldn't let it just sit there and get cold while I drew it... so I ate it then drew from memory... which at my age is getting worse everyday :-)

Dixie did actually go get the ball once today, when we held the terriers back... they usually beat her to it, and at first she didn't even try... then she started running following them, then today, break thru, she picked up the ball...Dixie knows what a tennis ball is for now... at least around here anyway.

I was reading my blogging friend Lisa Reed's blog, and saw the picture of her puppy Yao with a slipper... it brought back memories of my dog Ouija. See Lisa's blog here http://lisalou-graceart.blogspot.com/2008/12/edm-1-plus-yao.html

We missed most of the football games today... we were on the road. Noticed lots of RV's on the road today, guess they are loving the low diesel prices now.
