Puppy Kisses Tickle

New Year's Day brought a visit from Vanja's family. Amazingly, this new puppy mom made black-eyed peas, rice, and cabbage ( a Southern tradition), and granola bread from scratch. My son (Vanja) was very much up for the traditional offering. The grandchildren happily devoured what they call Nanny bread. 

But that was after Lumen devoured the children. Actually, it was mutual. Love, play and adoration were very much evident, and the little dog looked for them after they left.
