Springtime Rules!



It sure looks like everyone is doing great and we're all in for an exciting Spring, and I'm not just referring to this season's inventory. I'm seeing tons of great things with everyone: new pregnancies, babies, homes, job opportunities, weddings, and thickening of skin from the continual drop in the financial sector stocks (Buy Big Clyde, Buy!). Ashley and I are great. We're busy with all aspects of life. Ash is gearing up for another exciting fashion show next week at the store, we're happily enjoying an overly long housebreaking process with the pup, and are within a month or so of hopefully starting our renovations with the house. It's only been a two and a half year saga to get this renovation started, but hey, life comes at you fast, construction doesn't. Here's a view of the new backyard. Mind you, it was a big wooded slope to the creek a few months ago.





Mom continues to champion through her chemo which hopefully will be finished around Easter with her last treatment. On a daily basis she conquers battles with nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and having Big C's around. Just kidding, Pops. In my opinion, Dad has been a great primary caregiver and I think she's lucky to have such a caring, thoughtful man help her through a true bitch of a process. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully Easter will represent a fresh, beautiful new beginning for us all. I'm praying that my mother can finally say farewell to months of worry and suffering and enjoy a well deserved new Spring beginning to life.





Here's a video of the little man riding in the truck with his aunt Watts. Enjoy watching his ears blow in the wind, Trick Daddy style! I'm mean, you gotsta understand Trick loves the pups.. Other key components of this masterful footage captured by my cell phone include the orange sign stealing Snout's attention and Watts closing the scene with a serious look and a shoutout lick to her own snout.





I love you all...well, most of the time.
