it's never too late

Florida was beautiful this year. I was able to relax and clear my head. I had time to finish a few projects and start a few more. Bosley and I had plenty of one on one time for training and it was amazing to watch him progress each day. The weather was wonderful and the sunsets

 ......oh the sunsets....

But let me tell ya. When I got home I had one good day and then ...

BLAH

the flu.

I would not wish that beast on my worst enemy.
