Wind Storm!
 A short yet strong wind storm blew through about a week ago now. The storm itself wasn't nearly as impressive as the dust storms or the monsoons that will be coming shortly but it wasn't devoid of entertainment either.
The next morning my human ventured out to inspect for any damage to the house and yard and discovered that her tree, already dead from the frost this winter and with a little help from me, was broke in half. The tree that once had 3 branches now only had two and that third branch was in the yard.
Naturally I had gotten up much earlier than my sleepy human to search for damage. Seeing the large branch in the yard I took it upon myself to start cleaning up while my human slept the early morning hours away. At first the branch was too awkward to move so I stripped off all the tiny branches and dead leaves. I was going to bring the branch to my human but I found that dragging it back and forth across the yard to be much more fun than anticipated.
 When my human did finally come out we started the clean up process. I fetched a few of the smaller twigs and sticks for her. She wanted my big branch but at this point I could not part with it and she seemed to find watching me drag it around rather amusing so I was allowed to keep it.
Not wanting my human to feel as if the clean-up effort was without merit I pulled some weeds for her. Ok in all honesty I just wanted to floss the bits of tree bark from between my teeth but that'll be our little secret, ok?
Because I was such a good helper all morning my human even let me lick the crumbs out of the treat pouch before she re-filled it again! I'm such a lucky dog!

Dear Myra and Sandi,
Glad that you are OK after the wind storm.
Talked to your mom the other day. She said that she was going to be in Mesa in mid-May to be with you and have your surgery. She gave me a neat candle warmer and a yummy vanilla/gingerbread candle.
Also today is \"Hokie Hope\" day. I got an e-mail at work yesterday stating wear maroon and orange to show support for the people at Virginia Tech affected by tragedy on Monday. I hope anyone reading this blog can do so, today or in the following days. I am.
Yesterday the kids at my Head Start program, staff and parents went to the Play Station in Cedar Rapids. IT WAS FUN!!! Got buried in the ball pit by the kids and went down the slides and had a picnic outside afterwards. Even the adults had fun :)
Have fun:)
Love Kim V.
Dear Sandi:
Talk about \\\\\\\"fetching the stick.\\\\\\\"
Big tree branches do make OK toys, but beware of splinters :)
Love Kim V.
