This is Sam, Ginger's recently added pet. Sam is the third canine Ginger keeps at her place, but the other two (Mattie and Harley) are very large dogs. They don't play friendly with tiny Sam! 

Ginger and Sam visit

Ginger and Sam visited me this weekend. Ginger and I attended the Auburn Club football watching party at Coach's Sports Bar and were pleased at Auburn clinching the SEC West Title and qualifying to play in the SEC Championship game against either Georgia or Tennessee. Didn't take camera to party but pics below are of Sam and Ginger while visiting

Sam again, Hienz 57 breed, smart and agressive and very friendly house dog! 

Ginger waiting for me to get going and take her back home. 

Bike transporting

Not the best way to carry your bike around!

Ahhhhhh ready to eat chicken a la robusto italian, tossed salad and rice w/bocolle and cheese .. hmmmmm good!

Wednesday, Oct 27

Sent blog with pics to a few friends and family. Heard from two who couldn't pull up blog from the link, one other was able to do so. Began working for VAL PAK in earnest this week. Have made six presetations, sold one, have four thinking about it or having to see partner. Looks like I will sell several a week. Have worked Rincon only, but will start Garden City and Pooler towns next (they are adjacent to Savannah, just little towns in the metro mix).

Will stay in Savannah this weekend and not go to Ginger's. Will have to work til Friday afternoon, have a couple from Connecticut who have booked for two half day tours Monday and Tuesday, haven't dusted or vacuumed house in four weeks, so better stay here this weekend and get caught up. Been tired lately and haven't slept well, so need to take it easy this weekend. But, I will go to Auburn vs Ole Miss viewing party Saturday night with the Auburn Club at newly re-modeled Coaches Sports Bar.
