Restocking

My kids grew up and left home. This is as it should be and of course we make extraordinary efforts to see them whenever and wherever we can. The also took our cars, which are now their own. Then they took our dogs (except my first, who got her own dog), so we figure it’s time to start restocking. First I bought a new car…needed it for the new job, since we only had one car between the two of us. Then we got this little dwarf shown in the photo above, sinking drunken songs (“wasting away again in Margaritaville” comes to mind) with his new older sister. His name of course is Gimle, named after the lead dwarf in Lord of the Rings. My wife wanted a small dog. My wife usually gets what my wife wants. (This took me many years to get used to)
