"No gift unrecognized as coming from God is at its own best...when in all gifts we find Him, then in Him we shall find all things."

- George MacDonald

302. Sunshine long enough for the yard to dry out so Loki does not bring in mud each time he goes out.

303. My husband's explanation of this: "He is like a carpet that you drag outside through the grass and dirt and mud and then you bring him into your house and drag it all around.

304. That Loki is getting a doggy hair cut this week.

305. Lunch with a dear, dear friend
