Where Have I Been?

I know it's been forever since I posted, and I seriously considered quitting this altogether, but I really like looking back over the past years and seeing what we were doing.  So, I'm going to try to do some catching up.  It takes awhile to upload pictures, because I have to upload them into Picasa from my phone or I-Pad, then download them here, then go back to my I-Pad to write the post, and it's not a smooth operation.

So, I'll go back to April.  We recovered from Easter, and in the beginning of April we lost Joe.  He was 13 and a half, the oldest greyhound we had.  He was having difficulty going up and down the steps and had almost stopped eating. Then on Easter he bit Stephanie on the face.  We knew then that he had to be in pain, because he had always been good with kids.  When we took him to the vet, he had lost five pounds in just a few months, so we knew something was going on.  The vet said he could run tests, but he wasn't going to get any younger.  He said when a dog quits eating then the end is near.  So we went ahead and had him put down.  I didn't realize how bad he looked until I look back at pictures.

In the middle of April we went to Boston for a few days to visit Kate and the kids.  Wayne hadn't been to Boston since 2010, though I usually go a couple times a year.  We had a really nice time.  We got to see Corinne's school and went up to Kennebunkport for a day and stayed in a lovely hotel.

This is the fourth time I've started this post and cannot get pictures to upload.  So Im going to upload. This then try to get pictures from my I-pad.
