Tender moments

We babysat our grand-doggie yesterday and overnight, and enjoyed his company.  Charlie ran like a speeding train at the dog park and tired himself out, so he was relaxed and happy for most of the rest of the day.  My daughter and her boyfriend came for dinner and we wound up playing three games of Settlers of Cataan.  Everyone won a game, but not me!  Oh well.  I was being a good host, letting them all win!
