Kabobs

I've found I can relax more now when I'm home. Why?

Puppy love. These two get in a good wrestling session and are out for hours. Now, if only I were home more often!

To pick my posts, I typically do whatever I had for dinner last night, or whatever pictures I like best. I've played with the Canon Rebel and I need it. Now. Just a matter of time before I drop the big bucks on that. I found these pics of some skewers that I felt I could get slightly excited about. For starters, they're taken in natural light. And I'm missing summer and grilling since NYC decided to go right into fall on us.
