November 2007 Virginia Turner Update

By -



On Sunday Jason thought he would go out and replace a few of the rotten boards on the deck. By Sunday night he had discovered the only rotten boards were the posts that were holding the deck up.




Flag football was a great sucess. Garrett earned the Defensive MVP Award for the most tackles and sacks on the Seahawk team. He also earned an award for the most tackles in a single game, 20! Not bad for the second smallest player on the team.





Meg made the All A Honor Roll and was recognized in a ceremony this week at her school.


She was among 16 other students to be recognized for all A's from her team of 130.

Without anyone's urging she videoblogged the enclosed entry, and I tracked down the video file in her account to upload for everyone's information.

On to the story of Izzy

By Chris Turner -
For the past couple of weeks we had been finally considering another dog, Otis having passed in June. Evenings found us as an easily-lampoonable suburban yuppie couple, each of us window shopping on our respective laptops on the couch. On our Sunday bicycle ride we earnestly began discussing the characteristics that we wanted: mature dogs, no puppies; a rescue from a shelter, not something for which we had to pay. But Tiffani spotted Izzy on CraigsList and all that criteria gladly went out the window. Contact with the owner was made, and we drove ourselves to Belding yesterday afternoon with the kids to see if the dog and our family would be a good, two-way fit.

She's a Catahoula Leopard , of which we'd never heard , and the breed seems to have a colorful, if not completely fantastical story.
