... to point on rabbits, squirrels and birds. Her favorite greeting is with something in her mouth and "growling" affectionately at you. She makes great eye contact, is finally starting to learn words (typical of rescues), loves walks and keeps Donna company during the day, never leaving her side.

Grand Rapids, MI... I have nothing to say really. It decided to start raining like crazy the minute we crossed the Michigan border. Needless to say, I didn't feel like exploring much in the rain. But, our show went well, we had an excellent crew in a great space, so I can't really complain. I just hope Michigan gets a bit better.<br>

Tuesday 7/28<br><br>Photography day is here or was. Dan the model called to ask permission to bring a model friend along and so did. Started at 10 am and finished at about 2pm having made over 1000 images. Now the processing of those images, down to a very few, begins when I get back in town. Dan and Braxton both said it was fun and I had a good time as well. Time to think about supper and getting this place cleaned up. Tomorrow its back to da lake and &#8230;

Mon 7/27<br><br>Did the breakfast thing and then headed out for Grand Rapids home of ____. Am now at the cabin on Lake Whatever, some 16 miles north of GR. The sun has set, the sky is light gray and there is a very nice reflection of that sky on the lake surface. From where I am setting ...

... need to. <br><br>What Next?<br><br>Right now I am up in Traverse City, visiting my family. On the 1st of August, I'll officially be heading out and starting my trip. I'm ready to go right now, but I just need to do some temp work so I can have some emergency funds in my bank account. I'm just itching to get out there and prove what I can do. I definitely want to make it to the west coast. San Francisco has always been a city I've been dying to visit ...

My time in Haiti was so special. The best part of all was spending it with a wonderful group of people! The laughter we shared and the deeds we did will be with me forever.<br><br>Make us the hands and feet of Jesus<br>bringing God's love to others;<br>Make us the voice of Jesus<br>speaking words of kindness and acceptance;<br>Make us the ears of Jesus <br>listening to those who are ...

... it gives it more character. People are great everywhere you go with a small percentage of bad apples, like everywhere else. But further east they are a bit more direct, common sense is being used a bit more, a bit more down to earth and not as jaded as it can be in Cali. We took an architectural boat trip over the river down town Chicago, which was interesting (preventing Johannah from walking too much, she's been having a bit of an issue with her right rear ...

... than to drive fifteen or twenty-five minutes to meet someone in Michigan. -- Interjection: while in college, I developed the theory that complaining was a sign of stupidity, because it meant the person wasn't smart enough to make life what he wanted it to be. Maybe I was overlooking something. Maybe I was calling the wrong people? Maybe Americans value work over fun? Maybe Chris and I should just do everything as a two-some? ha ha. Maybe I should do like a lot of single Grand ...

... against him as a wall blocking his only exit. Somehow, Chris slipped the ball through me. It bounced high in the middle of Chris's floor. Through the air, I dove past Bill. My paddle dragged the ball down with it. I thudded on the floor, only to see my difficult diving pancake effort was a nonsuccess. The ball shot out to my half of the court. Chris hustled to it. Falling down, he tried with the last of his energy to scoop the ball into a box. Twice, it couldn't top ...

... Can I have her number?" I said - did I mention how great that sweater was!? "No. But I can give her a message." "It's just, I don't think she'll know who I am. I went to high school with her, and ..." "Is this Justin? Justin Breen? Hey, it's Rob. Remember, I dated her in high school?" I think he was trying to remind me of a friendship he and I used to have, but I didn't pick up on that at the time. Instead, I said, "Well, you don't still ...
