Fresh off her first grooming

Olive received her first grooming this week and she came home as soft and cuddly as a teddy bear. There was no soccer or other sporting activities this weekend. Although Jude did have a babysitting class all day Saturday. He wasn’t all that keen on going but he committed to it a few weeks back as he is thinking about ways to make money this summer. He didn’t hate the day and he did come out of it with his babysitting certificate.

Saturday was a quiet day for Anna and me. We spent most of the morning at home with Olive but then took her to the Cherry Creek farmers market, where she met dozens of people and a lot of dogs as well. She was a big hit and was in constant demand the entire time we were there. We came home and she was exhausted and happy to be put in her crate. Saturday night we walked down to Reivers for dinner, a bit of a reward for Jude for completing the babysitting class.

Sunday, we did some work in the yard. We dug a hole for a new tree but discovered our sprinkler line straight down the middle of the yard so we had to postpone that project. Then in the afternoon Anna did some more work for her lawn care and gardening service. We also started to assemble our new trampoline which was delivered this week.

We ended the week with Food Group at our good friend Rick’s house. It was a lovely time but a little bittersweet as it was the first one hosted at their house since Jen passed away six months ago.
