My friend, Mary, and I decided to have lunch outside today. I’ve been feeling down about the laptop, so it was nice to just sit and talk and soak up the sunshine. It was already a good afternoon, but who shows up out of the blue to make it even better? Jef does. :) He knew we’d be there, so he popped over, gave me a little kiss and sat down to grab lunch and talk for a few minutes. He’d never met Mary, and this is the best first conversation ever:

Mary: I bet Lucy’s excited about the house.
Kristin: She’s going to loooove the yard.
Mary: Are you going to get her a doggy door?
Kristin: Thinking about it. She’s so indecisive about going in and out. She whines either way.
Mary: Bryson loves his. This way he gets to lay in the sunshine all day and come in if it’s too hot.
Jef: I think I’ll get Lucy an invisible dog fence. I’ll put it randomly thru the yard and then change the pattern every few weeks.
Mary: …
Kristin: He’s kidding.
