In -happy- news...

My dog is famous.

(I know. I'm one of those dog owners. Mock away. :) )

More happy news - GIP

aesc made this BEAUTIFUL icon - the original picture is here, and was taken in July 2006, when my family took a massive reunion-ish trip to Germany (not a reunion, so much as my mom's family - 15 people, all told, adding mom, sibs, spouses, and all the cousins - recreating some of the travels my mom and her family took in the 70s when my uncle was stationed outside of Augsburg). It's a view out one of the windows at Schloss Neuschwanstein, and I love it - and the resulting icon - to pieces.
