Well, if YOU'RE older than dirt, then I'm the guy that gave God a cigar when his boy was born! Cute baby, had his mother's feet.
Well then, I am that "baby" Salvatore means "savior"
Day Six
OK This one is Dakota. She's one of our three pets. Dakota is going to be 12 in March. She's a Labrador/Ridgeback mix.
Now Dakota has an older brother and a younger sister who will be in here sooner or later. There's also Dakota's real sister who stays with my Daughter in Fredricksburg but comes to visit periodically. She also will be in here sooner or later.

Who else is gonna step up and admit to being young at heart?
I guess I'm younger than Pete. When I was born, Christ was a still corporal in the National Guard.
Day Seven
Can't believe I've lasted a whole week. This is a lot more difficult than I thought. Hopefully, once nicer weather gets here, I can get out some.
This is a piece my Son and Daughter gave me many years ago. It's titled "Brother Dad and Sis". Giving proper credit, the artist is Tom Clark.

Day Eight
Such a gorgeous day here today. Forcast for the near future is trending toward the Cold side.
I had to do it. I ran to the store, got the Burger meat, buns and fixin's and fired up the burners on the old Weber grill.
Grilled Cheeseburgers are my absolute favorite. If we get another nice day in the next few months, I'll cook again, but I doubt that will happen.

Yummm... that looks good!
That they were. I even have one to take for lunch tomorrow. Weather is supposed to turn cold this week so the ability to grill will slowly fade away until spring.

In that case, you're in luck! Spring is gonna be early this year!
You'll be grilling in about a month.

Day Nine
This little lady was there to greet us at work this morning. She was in a dark hallway and I actually walked right past her. I didn't have the proper lens and only had Pop up flash for lighting so I couldn't really do the shot justice. At least I tried.
For those of you who do not recognize the red hour-glass marking, this is an adult Black Widow spider. She is one of the most toxic spiders in the US. This one spanned about an inch and a half from the tips of her legs. I was able to get my 18-55 lens about 6 inches from her. That's as close as I wanted to get. By afternoon, someone had disturbed her web, so I'm not sure if they killed her or not. I'll watch for her and maybe get my close up lens if she comes back.
That was her lunch on the right

Very nice shot. I admire your restraint. As much as I dislike killing any creature, I would have had a very hard time not testing her strength by standing on her.

Lot's of Black Widows in my area too. They can get really big. Typically they seem pretty mellow, usually just chilling on the web.
Day Ten
Pet number two of three. This is Shylo. She hates the camera. I'm surprised she let me snap this one.
We got some bad news about her today. She had been feeling bad so we took her to the Vet on Friday. Test results back and we find that she has Cancer of the Lymph Nodes.
I have to talk to a different Vet tomorrow to find out what can be done. Looks like the NAS list will have to go on the back burner for quite a bit longer.
PS: I had a different (more whimsical) post but changed my mind. I think Shylo wanted to be here, otherwise, she would not have posed.
