Lise and I always try to visit with former neighbors Connie and Marla while Lise is here. Lise drove us to Sylva where we met them at a barbecue restaurant and went on to an ice cream place, Jack the Dipper. The food and the company were exceptional.

Back at home, we gave David the bag Connie prepared for him and his dog, Kacey. He let her sniff the bag before giving her one of the homemade dog bone cookies. Connie also included a bone-shaped cookie cutter and her recipe for the treats.
