Couldn’t resist sending pics of Pi with Santa Paws. Good thing Joe is big.

What a goof. All hundred pounds plus sitting bolt upright on some poor guy’s lap, head turned, tongue reaching out for a big lick on the ear. Second photo, Rose peeking between Pirate’s and Santa’s heads, all three grinning at the camera. How could I save these photos? Didn’t want them to disappear. Maybe one of the kids at Bean Love could help me.

Hmm.I shoved my face closer to the phone.Dark smudges under her eyes, creases at the corners. Smile doesn’t quite reach her eyes.
