Asthma
Book Club!
We all picked a different book to read. Our theme was "Newberry Medal Winners". I picked 'The Tale of Despereaux' by Kate DeCamillo that I had read when it first came out in 2003. It's a great book, if you haven't read it, you should. Heather picked 'The Witch of Blackbird Pond', Pauline picked 'Hattie Big Sky', and Monica picked "The Graveyard Book", which is this years winner. Poor Monica is the only 50 something with three 20 somethings, but we are all kindred spirits so we get along fine. We met in the park, had yummy snacks, discussed our books, and had a great time. I can't wait till our next meeting. We are all reading 'The Scarlet Pimpernel'. I'll post a picture when Heather sends it to me.

Muffy
This is Miss Muffett Skousen. If you ask Michael, her name is Princess Muffett Skousen, but I digress. We call her Muffy for short. As you can see she comes with an FBI Warning...
Muffy is a wire-haired Jack Russell Terrier. For those of you who watched the TV show "Frasier" she's that kind of dog. She is 3 and a half, and the light of our lives. Muffy likes to watch Food Network all day and then take "walkies" with me after I get home from work. She is way too smart for her own good.
We frequently have to spell words around her as she knows what most words mean. For example: Walk, go, car ride, dog park, treat, peanut butter cookie, bed, Beneful, raw hide, ice cream (no we do not feed our dog real ice cream, it is dog ice cream made by Purina) and many other phrases that she recognizes.
Muffy keeps us on our toes and lets us know when it is time for bed, time to get up, and time to go outside. She is very, very spoiled and has her own stocking hung up and filled for Christmas. Just look as that face, how can you not spoil her?
