14 in dog years.
What a great day! It was a long one, jammed with activity and familiar faces. We started off by making breakfast cookies. Then we went out to a construction site and saw some big equipment in action. I think Luke would have been happy to watch the excavator all day. Next we had snack, then played a bit and prepared Luke’s cake. Lunch was tasty, followed by a three hour (!) nap. After that things got really exciting. We did a Zoom session with family and they were able to see Luke eat his birthday cake and open a present. Since the weather was so lovely we went on a hike at the nature park after that. Dinner was excellent, then he went to bed.






Plugging along, mostly quarantined.
Luke and I hung out while Liz worked. We built Legos, played with playdough and his new felt balls, went outside this morning, and went on a hike after Liz got off work. All in all a pretty fun day. I went to Kroger while he napped, and got food for the next two weeks or so.

Finally seeing some blue sky!
The day started cloudy, so Luke and I read and played indoors all morning. After Liz got off work we went on a hike at the nature park. It was great to be outside. During Luke’s nap I got all caught up on Hawaii Five-O. Now just three episode of Magnum PI and I will be current again.

Lots of Luke, lots of driving.
I was on Luke duty today and it was a lot of fun. And a lot of work, but fun. We read a new book that came from the Imagination Library yesterday. We read it a lot. We also emptied the dishwasher, built with Legos, and played with the new playdough. We went outside for a while as well. After liz got off work I drove up to the Mountain to get all my tools from the house and button things down for a couple of weeks. I also picked up my clothes and papers from the cottage. Then I drove home.
