I was sitting here talking to Tim about Rex. Started crying and couldn’t stop. After I got okay, Tim left, and I opened my mail to see today’s Photo Friday theme. When I was going through photos the other day to send a few to Hanley Inc. for a collage they made of Rex for Tim, I found this one. I think it shows what a truly fine dog Rex was: handsome, alert, and healthy.

Current Photo Friday theme: Of House & Home

This is one of the first photos I took with my iPhone when it was new. It’s not fantastic quality, but it’s the picture connected to “Home” in my phone’s address book. Everything I see in the photo says home to me: art on the walls, dog hair on the rug, lots of books, photos of people I love on the far wall, and a table where so many friends and family have shared meals and holidays and birthdays. In this particular photo, there are cards on the table, because it’s the same place we’ve played many games of progressive rummy and Yahtzee through the years. And almost every weekend, a plastic cloth is stretched across that table for Craft Night.

It’s home.
