This may be the meal that I do for you at Our Saviour - so, so very good and really pretty.
--We've all taken to the newest member of the Titi family - Flinn is an 8-week old Rottweiler puppy who arrived yesterday.

Carol looks forward to doing some obedience training with him, and this is a good possibility since she'll be here till the end of March.
