Happy Birthday Jennifer!! This is probable the first time one of us had a birthday and we were all in different locations. Jennifer is in Austin, Michael in Lubbock, Mike in Chicago and Kelly in Portsmouth. I guess this might happen more often as the kids get older.  

Today was a fun day!! The girls on “Silver Linings” and Kelly took all 3 dogs to the groomer – Groomingdales in the Ghent district. We loaded them up in the wagon, crossed the river via tunnel to a new groomer. Our biggest challenge on the loop is finding a groomer. Fortunately, it worked out this time. The dogs look great.  In fact, Bonnie and Teddy got the best hair cut they have ever had!

While they were getting groomed, we all went to Chrysler Museum of Art. It is a free museum with over 30,000 objects spanning 5,000 years.One of the more memorable objects were the “Yad Torah Pointers”. Yad is Hubrew for “hand” which is a jewish ritual pointer used to follow text during Torah reading from parchment Torah scrolls. The extensive collection looked like fashion statements and were fun to look at. Most didn’t look very ergonomically correct.  Ha
