My silhouette of Les didn't work.... It was a giant sun spot so I took another type of picture of her.
Here is my attempt at getting something up close in focus with a blurred background.
Attempt #2
I always get a chuckle out of kids and olives. Who hasn't put olives on their fingers and eaten them off one at a time? 

Josie stories are plentiful at my house. I was "dog sitting" last Saturday and Josie found a used piece of gum. I tried to grab it but she held on tight - neither one of us were willing to give up the fight. Needless to say I got most of the gum except for the piece that stuck to the side of her face. Josie had to visit the groomer to get it cut out.Good thing she has a cute face.
