Sorry it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been going back and forth about what I should write. For now, I’m just going to get you up to speed with what’s been going on here. I must warn you: it’s nothing all that special.
Let me start by letting you all know that all the vertebrae are in tact. Horse riding went just fine except that I’m weak. The horse is a real sweetie, though. Looking forward to riding again.
On Monday, which was a holiday here, my mother-in-law had a barbeque in honor of her and her husband’s birthdays (they’re a day apart). It was very nice. Arrie’s brother and his girlfriend as well as one of his two step brothers were there. It was also a special day for Yama because he got to attend the get-together unaccompanied by his brothers. He was pretty proud of that. He chased the cat up a tree and out of the garden and he sent a chicken flapping for her life (she was fine, by the way).
That night we also brought home my canine sister-in-law, Luna. My mother-in-law left for Dubai on Tuesday, so we’re watching the little booger for ten days. She’s a real cutie and she’s discovered that a foxhound makes a pretty nice playmate.
On Tuesday, we drove to Den Haag (the Hague) to attend a real estate auction with one of Arrie’s cousins. It was pretty amusing, I guess. Arrie thought the attendees were interesting because some of them seemed (to him) to be a bit skeezie (how on Earth are you supposed to spell that word?).
Anyway, not much interesting happened after Tuesday. Finn got a bath today and now he smells like strawberries…so that’s nice.
P.S. Still no sofa.

Is skeezie the same as sleazy? oops looked it up on dictionary.com. and it was there. Yes, skeezy is about the same as sleazy. Just hadn’t heard it.
