dany's eighth birthday

Today is Dany's birthday.

This morning we walked around two parks then stopped at a pet shop to pick out cookies for cake.

I made a trip to the library to check messages then took a walk around the neighborhood to see the trick or treaters and visit neighbors. It started raining so I walked home.

Back home I frosted the cookies with peanut butter and sang for Dany. She ate half of hers and all of her bone then fell asleep. Teemo took longer but finished all of his slice then joined her on the couch.

I lit a candle, poured a porter and played an album of Chopin nocturnes while reading The Dead to finish Dubliners. It's still raining, though less than before, and the dogs are still sleeping on the couch, though they've moved closer to me.
