i hate to be a debbie downer, but here i go.  yesterday evening our family had to put our dog to sleep. our dog who we had for 18 years to the date.  i remember the day we went to pick out ruff.  i was really mad that he got to ride home on my brothers lap, but then he scratched my brother so i wasn't mad after that.  it's funny how a pet becomes part of your family.  it's really sad saying goodbye.  

i thin i'm going gluten free.  i got a book and a cookbook out on it, not from the library though because i can never go back there again.  my mom checked them out for me.  she does not know that i am very irresponsible with a library card.  a lot of the recipes have beets in them.  i may have to do some alterations with those recipes.  

i like summer, and it's almost here.  i'm going to write a song about it, probably not.
