Conehead...

Riley injured herself while playing with her friend Mason at the lake on Friday.  My Mom had to take her to the vet where she had three stitches.  While her injury heals she is sporting a very cool cone on her head.  Thought everyone might like to see how she looks.

Budapest, Hungary

I LOVED Budapest.
The cities are so beautiful and the weather was amazing. I says cities because Budapest is actually two cities - Buda & Pest. They are separated by the Danube river.
I found these when I was walking along the river. This is a memorial called the Shoes on the Danube. This depicts the shoes that the Budapest Jews left behind when they fell into the river after having been shot World War II.
