Well….Alan and I decided we would try the dogs in basket thing again. Check it out. This time Holly did not try to get out she sat very well. Her harness worked well. Perhaps she was so scared she couldn’t move even if she had wanted to!! When we went for the ride I didn’t go that fast. I really hope she will tolerate it when we go out for a real ride. We will try her again tomorrow. Here are some pictures from this….man, my kids are cute – perhaps I am biased a teensy bit???? hmmmm???

Speaking of tomorrow – it is my last full day of CPE. I cannot believe that this course has ended. I have a lot of things to mull over in my mind about CPE. The stories I have heard; the lives I have been welcomed to share in; the tears I have wiped away; the laughter – it has been an extremely enriching experience. But I am really ready to move on. After our holiday my internship begins. I am soooo ready for that!!

I am procrastinating doing my sermon prep for this Sunday. I had a great visit with my niece, took the dogs for a walk, met my neighbors, helped Alan find stuff to pack the trailer with….yah, procrastination, isn’t it great!

I am getting so excited! only 4 more days to go and then I will be done, done, done with CPE. Not that I haven’t enjoyed the experience it has been great. I really feel for those who have had a less than wonderful CPE experience. But I have to tell you I am really ready for a break. Alan and I are leaving Sunday afternoon to go into the wilderness for some R&R. I hope that it won’t rain too much. Camping in the rain with two wet dogs is not my idea of a fun holiday. Ah well, we will keep our fingers crossed.

Today Alan and I decided that we would try and find a basket that would attach to our bikes so…ok, don’t laugh….I know you will anyway….we have been looking for baskets to transport our dogs when we go on bike rides on our holiday. See I knew you would laugh!!
Anyhooo…we did find one and Alan rigged up a harness attachment that would keep them in the basket. We were quite surprised that both of our fur kids tolerated the experience. So I guess the saying is true – you can teach an old dog new things! I will try and get a picture on here so you can see them in the basket. It really is kinda cute.

I can’t believe it! Only one more week to go until its R&R time. I am really looking forward to pitching our tent and doing nothing – absolutely nothing for about two weeks, that is except reading, writing, and sleeping! Yay!
