My mom, 1954ish. She came to America in 1948 at age 18. She had a rough go at first - she hardly spoke English and was looked down on because she was German and a war bride. She later did some modeling - this is just one of many beautiful photos we have of her.

Desi does not like this Sub-Zero weather. She went out for 3 minutes and is now consoling herself in my bed.

Meet my recently adopted girl! She was a breeder at a puppy mill and very sick when rescued. (Now fat from steroids.) She's may be a mix with the short legs and flop ears, but has the Bentley star and a gorgeous black and silver coat. After settling in she's now my shadow and the best girl ever!

Made my own Bar Scheeze like Win Schuler's: Aldi's spreadable cheddar + half a jar of Ingelhoffer creamy horseradish (not from Aldi) + half a teaspoon Aldi Worcestershire. Turned out great at half the price ~
