Tooting my own horn

Tonight was a good night. Despite being ill, I thoroughly enjoyed being outside and watching the sun begin to sit while Mr. M washed his car. Prior to that, we took several family portraits, which are on my Flickr picture page, and I highly recommend that you go and look at the photo, and even leave a comment. For your convenience, I will list several comments you might like to leave:
"How happy you all seem!"
"You make a very handsome couple-with a really cute dog."
"Is that a professional portrait?"
"How did you get Rufus to hold that pose?"

After washing the car, Mr.M and I went for a drive in the cool spring air. My illness had subsided as I sat on the porch listening to some classic rock while my Mister washed the car. Being ill, I am much more appreciative of the small things . . . sitting out on the porch, watching the sun begin to sit, listening to some cool tunes, petting the neighbors' dog. How much have I taken for granted in the past, I wonder.
