Today was quite the busy day for me. I managed to knock my granite pagoda onto my foot in the morning, go grocery shopping, and take a nap all before I went to pick my kids, and a neighbor's child, up from school!

My foot is feeling lots better- have a good looking bruise on it though! Hurts to touch it, but not to walk so I don't think I broke anything.

This evening was a sad one- we took the kids to my parents place to say goodbye to their (grandparent's) dog Elmo. He has appointment to go the Bridge tomorrow evening :( He's been battling arthritis in his previously dislocated knees, and what the vet thinks is some sort of liver disease for the past 6 months. The poor little guy can barely walk, and can no longer play or do the things he loves to do. I'll be going with them to the vet's tomorrow evening.

I decided today to start a memorial garden for all the family pets that have passed in the past 10 years. I'm trying to decide what plants to plant in their honor- I'm thinking Brugmansia's. I may also start a memorial rose garden for all the family too...
