This is where Flor lives … beautiful, isn’t it?

Who’d have thought that going back to yoga class would not only be good for my health & well-being, but also for my social life?

First a proud auntie photo and now my favourite cartoon … must be Sunday.

Meanwhile, I snibble Azar like this several times a day (Sunny is more doggy and prefers simple cuddling). I personally think that snibbling is its own reward, but if it helps out karma-wise …  hey, bonus!  🙂

A couple of years previously I had been outside on a cold Winnipeg winter night trying to brush snow off the windscreen of the family car and somehow jumped up and slipped at the same time, my face smashing against the glass and breaking my front tooth.  Both front teeth have long since been filed down so the chip is less noticable now.
