Solihull
St Alphege chapel alter piece
This afternoon we spent in Solihull- a town with a 700 year old city center and a 12th century cathedral- St. Aplhege. They've done a wonderful job of combining modern stores with very old buildings, in a pedestrian walking setting. The cathedral wasn't one of the most impressive but was very peaceful and pleasant to enter in the middle of a busy day.
Original St Alphege church, now a lower level chapel

Jan and Barb
The stained glass window with the picture of the dog in it is in a chapel that's actually in the "basement" now but was the original church building. I had to take a picture when I saw the dog! They've got it roped off so I couldn't go down to see it all. There's another chapel directly above this one that holds the beautiful alter piece above.
For a bit of British flavor I made Jan and Barb stand for a picture in front of the old style phone booths! It was like pulling teeth to get them to do it, but in the end- success!

With the occasional warmer weather the babies are now playing in their outside pen. Life is good! Thank you Dave and Meg for the nice picture!

Visited babies at Evanwhit today. Had our first toe nail trim. There's just nothing better than looking down to find a baby girl asleep in your lap.

From back in February.... Hi Barb! Our lil puppy (still no name)  really had a blast in the snow zipping around in it.  She is so funny, when she eats she takes food out of her bowl,  throws it on the floor and picks out only the little bits she likes.  I think its the shredded chicken out of the pro plan that she is favoring.  I need to figure out how to get her to not do that.  Maybe I will try to find a sample of the beef version and see if she still does that.   Chase is really enjoying the puppy and says he loves her.  The cat is coming around a bit, still stays clear of her but I think once he realize she is here to stay they will eventually be friends.  Old dog is teaching her in his own way best he can how to carry on his skills. I hope your week is going well. Sharon
