News from Florida

Today Melanie and Mo, along with guest Adam, brought home Willie, their new arrival. He is a German shepherd - dachshund mix with a brown and black coat. He's a real cutie and feels it's just fine to call him Will for short. Here's a photo taken by cell phone.


Also today, Melanie, Mo and Adam watched the launch of the space shuttle from their backyard. In the picture below you can see the shuttle's column of flame and smoke rising above the house next door. Today has been quite a day! (Worth noting: The shuttle's launch pad in Cape Canaveral is about 170 miles north from where this photo was taken.)
