It's a Boy!

Our terrific sponsors Jessica and Matt, owners of Fleet Feet Running Shop, are the proud, new parents of a baby boy born September 18.

(Ahhhh, now they enter the "Twilight Years" - always feeling like they don't have enough sleep!)



What are little boys made of?


What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails,
And puppy-dogs' tails;
That's what little boys are made of.


Get Well! Char!


Good bone healing!

"I go to Ortho on Friday to see if my 2nd cast can come off. I have two breaks in my foot.

One healed and the other needed to catch up so the last time they put a new cast on for two weeks.

Hoping to get a walking boot, but we'll see. Keep your fingers and toes crosses.

I have tickets for the Badger game Sat. night and sure plan on going. I will certainly need the walking therapy as soon as I can.

I know my leg is withering. Bob will definitely be faster than me. Please give everyone my best. Will join you as soon as I can drive.

happy trails - Char


Doggish to English Translation:

"Woof! woof!" to "Char, I thought you said Happy Tails! Wag, wag, wag. Now if you had 4 paws like we do, you'd already be walking with us again. Hope those bones heal with all due speed and we see you again wagging your tail on our trail walks....love Ruby the Red"
