Walks with Erin

Erin is my faithful dog-walking companion, she is ready and willing just about anytime I ask. While we walk Erin talks...not much room for me to get a word in edgewise most of the time. Her teachers always tell me how quiet she is at school, but there is no evidence of that when the two of us go walking!

Usually she just tells me all about school and her friends and whatever the latest girly drama is (who's not friends with who anymore), but there are certain landmarks that she comments on every time without fail.

One of the houses we pass has an oversized mailbox and every time we pass it she remarks on the size of it "they must be famous, they need a big mailbox to hold all their mail" or "wow! they must get a lot of mail!".

Another house we pass has a three car garage (unusual in our neighborhood, alot of the homes on our street don't have garages at all), she has some serious garage-envy! She always tells me that when she is a vet and marries another vet (or a doctor of some kind) they are going to have a ten car garage. One for her convertible, one for her husband's limo, one for their dogs, one will be a game room, one for each of their children (twins, which they will adopt because Erin doesn't want to ever be pregnant), and she's a little undecided about the other garages but she'll find some use for them!
