More Maya

I just weighed her and she is 31.5 lbs at a little over 6 months. When we got her at 9 weeks she was less than 9 lbs! She's doing terrific in spite of having some 'intestinal issues' this week which caused her spaying procedure to be put off until early March.

Here are some recent photos mostly playtime with her boyfriend Freedom who belongs to our friend John. He's 1.5 yrs old and even though he is more than 2x the size Maya doesn't take any grief from him and they get along great.

Visit to Florida

Last weekend we went down to Florida to visit Dorinda's grandparents on her dads side. Flew down Friday morning and came home Monday night via Southwest at $72 each way which is probably cheaper than gas to drive it.

We had a nice visit with them and got to hear alot of stories about them growing up, her grandpop is just recently suffering from Post-traumatic stress disorder from his time spent in France during WWII as a heavy machine-gunner. On Sunday we drove down to Treasure Island beach and spent a night at a hotel on the beach. There was a group playing drums on the beach which was pretty cool!

Woke up Monday and spent a few hours at Fort DeSoto- checked out the historic fort and read on the beach for awhile before flying home.
Got to use the new GPS which was invaluable for getting around- no more maps and directions!

We brought home 40 pounds of fresh oranges and grapefruit from the trees in their yard!
