It's the weekend!

So very much is going on in the area here... tons of fireworks, sales, gatherings and more. Lots of activities surrounding the coming 4th of July. Frankly, I think my weekend is going to involve staying home and working around the studio... and that is absolutely alright with me.
I am so grateful that the daughter and I were able to run some errands and such earlier in the week... because I am thinking we need a couple days of rest and recoup time.

We are also "watching" a senior dachshund for a friend, and he is an amusing old fellow.
Somehow, I don't think he will mind if we just hang out.

And of course, I've some links to share with you all:
