The blackberries are ripe!  I took the dogs for a walk last night after dinner in the back field, and picked some blackberries.  I didn't get my cardio in - since I stopped for a while to pick berries - but I did get a nice batch of berries!  Now - to make a cobbler or a pie!

Alli and I spent yesterday afternoon in and out of doctor's offices.  First, we went to get x-rays taken, then we went to the spine specialist, then we went to the orthodic place to have her brace adjusted.  She was way past cranky by the time we got home - it was a long day in and and and wait here and wait there.  This picture was taken at the beginning of her appointment at the orthotic place.  She went for a nice swim when we got home, and was much happier - especially after a swim AND dinner!

I also finished a doily yesterday - this one is about 20 inches across.

AJ and I also took an hour to work in the garage yesterday morning - and made quite a dent in it.  I dropped off over a dozen boxes at Salvation Army on my way in to get x-rays.  We got most of the easy stuff out of there - now we need to start going through old boxes and consolidating and re-packing.  The wall of boxes on one side of the garage are about to collapse in on themselves, and I am afraid they will take out the motorcycle when they do.  They are in the original boxes that Ralph's parents packed them in - and I don't know how long ago that was.  They have been in my garage for over 10 years, and they were probably in their garage for 20 years before that.
