Kari, this was such a warm and inviting story and you drew me right in. From the beautifully-plated burritos (wake up So. Cal.!) to your clever dog-watching nature-filled day and arriving sans pooch, was so much fun to read. You two are very smart and resourceful. Love it.
Then, to see you in your pretty turquoise dress with the luscious lemon handbag, topped everything. You had to be the best dressed at the park. I must not have read the "work" thread, so I hope any changes that are happening are good ones for you. With a beautiful smile on your face, like the one I see here, hopefully it's all stress-free and happy.
