Hello February!

Happy Sunday everyone! It's cloudy and relatively mild considering how cold it was the past few days. We should enjoy some pretty mild temps this coming week.

All is good with us. We sailed into the month of February quietly. It is my favorite month of the Winter season as it holds a few special events...Russell's Birthday, Super Bowl and Valentines Day. It is also a short month, Spring is around the corner folks! I can't get over how much longer the days are now. Yesterday morning, we slept in until 6:45 (😂) and didn't have to turn lights on outside when we took Cooper & Spicy out. 

Last week, we started giving more thought to our trip to Italy end of April. We've always wanted to take a cooking class so we booked one with Cantina del Vesuvio. It is located on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, near the town of Trecase. In addition to making some yummy Italian food, we will get to taste the wonderful wines of Lacryma Christi, which we discovered on our last trip to Italy. 

We also booked an evening with the Three Tenors in Sorrento. They will be performing at The Correale Museum of Terranova, an intimate and historical venue just a short walk from our hotel. I suspect it will be an enchanting night!

Not much else is going on with us. My jaw is acting up again, as in cracking very loudly. It hasn't locked yet, hopefully it won't. I went back to see our trusted physiotherapist, who happens to specialize in TMJ issues. I will see him again this week. In between visits, I have some jaw exercises that I do throughout the day. I'm not happy about that but it is what it is. Hopefully it will sort itself out soon.

Russell is doing well. He will get a spa pedicure this week and a 90 minute massage. Some self-care before his birthday 💖

Our pooches are doing well. They haven't had a lot of walks lately due to either snow events or cold temperatures. They don't seem to care. We keep them busy doing other things. I've created a few mazes with cones and they enjoy the challenges. They are always happy no matter what they do.

That's my blog for today. Have a great week everyone!

these two are game for almost anything.

Spicy loves her chew and she
thought it would be good to bring
it outside.

Cooper likes posing for photos especially if there
are possible treats involved.
