Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Sunday everyone! We hope you're all enjoying this special day. For us, this holiday represents a time of renewal and reflection. This year, however, it also brings a sense of much needed hope and better things to come 💗

The four of us had a great week. We continued our Spring cleaning, this time in the garage. Everything is now neat and organized, just the way we like it. We vacuumed the floor and threw away all the knick knacks that we never use. We put away the Winter "stuff" such as salt, crampons and boots. We even stored our shovels in the back corner of the garage....we actually did that the day before we were supposed to get a huge dump of snow. Did we get snow? A few flakes, that's it. The weather guy that we follow on Facebook was royally wrong this time!

Russell also power washed the back deck. It was long overdue. Our timing was good as our outdoor rug was delivered that day. We are very pleased with it. It adds a nice brightness to our outdoor space. 

Cooper and Spicy started their fitness program last Monday. We do it three times a week. It involves three exercises focusing on flexibility, stability and muscular force, exercises changing weekly. It's quite fun and very good for them. This morning, they both got four legs on the black side of the BOSU, with a blanket on it to make it less slippery, while I was holding the sides. It is a bit wobbly so it works the core.....working on getting a six-pack perhaps 😆

Last week brought some sad news. Spicy's sister, Brie, crossed the rainbow bridge. She was only 9 years old. Much too young. We met Brie on a few occasions but we specifically have fond memories of her visiting us in Huntsville in 2014. The photo below was taken during that visit. Doesn't she look like Spicy?

On this Easter Sunday, we are cooking a turkey. I don't think I've ever cooked a turkey for Easter before but we both craved it so we thought, why not!  As always, I bought a huge one for leftovers...for us and the pooches. I just put it in the oven. 

Our weather today is lovely. I'm writing the blog outside while smelling the turkey...and I'm not the only one.....Cooper & Spicy have their noses pointed towards the screen door 😃

I wish you all wonderful Easter and a great week. Stay well and safe!

Spicy and Cooper want to wish everyone
a Happy Easter!

Easter traditions, a homemade carrot cake, bright potted 
plant and a bunny decoration.

The new outdoor rug brightens up the deck and
Cooper and Spicy like the comfort.

Brie will be greatly missed
