Jackson's birthday "party"

We had "better than birthday candles"along with fun and games.(look at that crazy-happy face!)!

This evening while Rick was out treating an injured horse, Brian, Jackson and I walked down to the mailbox to get our mail. The sun was setting over the western horizon (the top photo was taken going, and the second one was taken coming home) like a brilliant birthday candle from God. I have been terrible about walking/jogging lately, so Jackson hasn't seen his "fence buddy" Sally in quite awhile. My friend Kathleen, Sally's owner, has suggested I let Jackson come over and play, so I thought, "What better birthday present could a dog get than to romp with a friend?" Nine-year-old Sally tuckered out faster than Jackson, but they had great fun - as did we just watching them.

That's it for now at . . .
