Had a lovely day with my parents in Harrisonburg yesterday, which is about halfway between their home in northern Virginia and my home in southwestern Virginia. We each left in the morning at about 9, took one pit stop, and arrived at our designated meeting Starbucks, within about 45 seconds of each other. Mom took me to Walmart and bought me, among other things, the slippers pictured to the right. Nikita was such a good girl even though she wanted to crawl around and we didn't have a place for her to do so all day!

Also would like to share with you about our walk on a gorgeous Thursday. There's a cute little duck pond in Foxridge, a neighboring apartment complex. Had fun taking pictures there! Nikita was so easy to contain and photograph since she would stop at the edge of the blanket because she didn't like the feeling of the prickly grass on her legs and feet.
