Walking the Dog with Mama Zoom

Eager passengers await a trip to the beach. Pip has a brownie snack in hand for the road trip. Could these 3 get any cuter? Love.

Mist and Pip (somehow I managed 2 dogs and the camera!). Mist doesn’t need glasses but likes to wear this non-prescription pair she bought herself 🙂

A cool wind swept over the beach.

The girls didn’t want to stick around. It was such an unusually cold morning.

I took over the beasts as we headed for less windy lands.

Later.

Mistaya’s nickname for me is Mama Zoom. I love it because I am a mom and I teach Zumba. I am very excited because the gym I want to work for has (potentially) 3 classes for me to teach. It is relatively close to my home and it is the gym Peter works out at every morning at 5:30 am.

I am working on my writing when I’m not teaching Z–things progressing in my e-publishing. I am thinking I might have the right balance this year of writing time and teaching Z. Just enough socialization to allow me to focus when I have my solo writing times. I dare say, from personal experience, it is a delicate balance for minds like mine: super creative and social.

Mistaya and her friend swapped personalities for a day–yesterday they wore each other’s clothes and pretended to be obsessed with the other’s passions. Mist’s friend wore Mist’s silver “moon boots” and her David Bowie t-shirt to school. Mist wore her friend’s The Beatles t-shirt. It was a success and they left their other friends rather confused.

Tabs’ team won The Battle of the Books for their school and will advance to the district finals. The team reads ten novels and is quizzed on their knowledge of the books. Tabs is excited and is rereading a few of the novels to keep fresh.

Pip is the Pip–loving kindergarten, soccer and her dogs.
Peter arrived home last night after his trip to the prairies. And tomorrow we all leave for the Island. My dog-boys will be going to the Dog Spa for 4 nights (Pablo’s first time).
Will post next from beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. Hopefully I’ll have a few whale pics from our Georgia Straight crossing.
