we got a new female heeler pup this weekend. she is half red and half blue heeler. the previous owner already had her wormed and gave the first shots to her. i have wanted a companion for konugish since we lost our other older dog, the dog with no name. we had that dog for over 10 years. dont even know how old that dog was. konugish is the first red heeler i have ever been around. i have grown to really like him. heelers are real smart and loyal. they are a  good breed. this little pup is only two months old. i hope to keep her for a long time. who knows maybe i will even get some pups from her someday.

when i checked snail mail today i found a note from one of my bros in it. i couldnt wait to open the letter up. that made my day. i havent heard from my bro in awhile. i always wonder about my friends that are around the country. hard to keep up with everyone. many of the friends i have made over the years are mobile people. they can be here one day and somewhere else tomorrow. nice to hear from them. friends are for life.

i heard from another friend thru the net. he is living in europe. we went to college together. some of us older students would meet at the student union to drink coffee and trade sick jokes.  i still am amazed by modern technology. it allows you to communciate with someone that is located somewhere else. my grand daughter  texts  me regularly. she will tell me goodnite and or good morning. i always tell her i love her. i like that ability to reach out to her or anyone just whenever.

i am still walking my 2 miles. it is getting cooler for walking but is still doable. cant make excuses. i  am on track to meet my goal of 365 miles for the year. i shoot for a mile a day over the course of a year. some years i have met that and then some. its just a number to shoot for. the good news is i havent smoked any cigars since fall dance. its not that i got resolve, i had the flu. havent smoked cuz of that. so as they say, something good will come from everything.

holiday this week. we are having a big family dinner. i am glad my sons will be home. i need help to drag the sheetrock down the stairs to the basement. holidays are great time to get together with friends and family. i just hope i dont gain any weight. i think of some friends i had over the years. their beliefs were that they would fast that day of feasting. i remember them every year. gotta admire people that make sacrifices. i remember the times that i have gone hungry too. those days seem so long ago, but i never forget them. i believe thanksgiving is all the time, not just one day. hope all have a great holiday.
