Twins

I came home and found that M and Adrian where napping and that the both of them matched.  The funny thing is that M and Adrian got dressed separately.  M informed me that Adrian picked out and put on his own clothes.  What a sweet heart.

A fond farewell.

Last Sunday went traveled down south to Granite Falls to where our friend Nicole' parents house is.  A couple of her friends and family members where there as well.  It was a small send off party before she leaves for graduate school at Harvard.  We had a really nice evening and will miss our friend.  We wish her all the best at school and look forward to seeing her again soon.

Happy Mothers Day! (optimus matris umquam niger eyed susan)

While surfing the for pictures of flowers I came across this one. It's called "optimus matris umquam niger eyed susan" other wise know as the Best mom Ever Black Eyed Susan. Apparently you can only find it during this time of the year in a remote part of the world near the southwest edge of Maryland.  I guess I know where I'm going today.  "Maryland or Bust"

A quick rant.

I wanted to get this out so I don't dwell on it all weekend.  Our apartment complex has a no dog rule with the exception of service dogs.  I absolutely have no problem with the service dogs being here in the apartments.  What I do have a problem with is people who have dogs that really shouldn't.  I guess it ultimately boils down to me being jealous of those who have them and me not.  The last time I talked with our apartment manager we where told that dogs weren't allowed because of what some previous tenants dogs' did to an apartment.  Not only that but one young lady who has a dog was supposedly being asked to leave because she had gotten a dog against the rules of the lease.  Not that long ago I ran into the young lady and her dog named Chinook, and realized I was missing my dogs back east, also I couldn't be angry at such a loving dog as that.  This brings me to this evening; as I was pulling into my parking spot I saw an man walking what seemed to be a young puppy out to take his trash out.  I know that M and I are not in the position to have a dog , but it's the principle of the whole thing that I take issue with.  Ok now I feel better.  Thank you for listening.
