Here’s an honest-to-goodness Saturday Sky picture for you. I took it this afternoon at the park. It was sunnier this morning, but all in all, a lovely day. The best part is that it was crisp–Autumn finally feels like it’s here.

It’s been a nice day in other-than-weather ways, too. The best part is that my niece is here for an overnight visit. She got here around 11:45 this morning, and that was unique all by itself–the first time she’s come for an overnight that she didn’t need a ride to get here. You know, now that she’s got her own wheels.

She, Mom, Chappy, and I all went to the park for a walk this afternoon–which is where I took this picture. We did about a two mile walk and met a very sweet, very shy Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppy–15 weeks old and only just current on her puppy shots and on her way out to see the world. Chappy so wanted to be able to say hello and play with her, but she was completely unsure about the whole, meeting-other-dogs thing, and wasn’t sure she wanted anything to do with him. In the nicest possible way. Such a sweet, face she had, with the prettiest blue eyes.

Oh, and Mom and I started the day by going out for coffee. But we decided, instead of just going to a coffee shop, we’d head over to Barnes & Noble instead. I haven’t been able to settle on a book I’ve really been in the mood to read. And, of course, I AM on vacation this week . . . so I may have bought myself a few . . . (Hey, it’s still cheaper than a hotel room or airfare, right?)

Okay . . . time to go take my shower, then the three of us need to pick out a movie to watch. (That’s we three females–Dad’s going to be watching sports, and Chappy doesn’t really care.)
