Ran into FOuR friends from high school randomly yesterday, ending with my friends Cathy and Greg Borgard  their dog at my Alma mater! We got a private tour of the amazing aquarium housed there!! It was built long after we graduated, but the lunch courtyard looked exactly the same as it did in the 80s. Haha

Saw this pupper waiting outside for their owner. Did anyone know what breed? Our Nikki would love to play. I thought maybe it was a Labradoodle... So fluffy like a teddy bear. 😍

Sad Nikki. There's no snow outside, but the booties are required because of the caustic salt sprinkled everywhere!
