Weekend Frolics

Tashie was with Bruce and Bethany for the weekend, while I was in Victoria. I am not sure the exact date of these photos, but a safe bet to say Friday or Saturday. Karen stopped by for a visit, boosting Tashie's spirits as always.
Karen had a dose of Livingstons, as just days before this shot, she and her sister Cindi were sitting in the Villa garden drinking iced tea! It was a treat to have them, even for a short visit.

 So then there were the Multnomah Street Stretches:

Somehow Bruce is able to cajole her into taking on challenges that she initially claims she's is not going to do, and then minutes later is totally involved.
And all this - the forced marches, the pretzel twists and stretches, the leg lifts - is making a difference. Her strength and stamina are improving, and I can only describe her as "plucky" in the best way - forging ahead without complaint....until she decides that Bruce and I are pushing her too far, and perhaps she'll have to claim elder abuse!
However, a foray to a sushi bar heals all...or perhaps a trip to Cool Moon ice cream parlour across the street.
