After the morning sessions of the winter educator's conference, participants took a field trip to Jon and Jona Van Zyle's home. They graciously open their home and dog yard to the teachers twice a year, and it is one of my favorite places in the world to be. After meeting and greeting the dogs, we stood in the yard while they ran loose awhile and had photo opportunities with them. After taking some pictures, I noticed I was missing a mitten. Jon made a comment about looking in the dog houses...and he was serious. As you can see from the picture, I found my mitten! How did it get there?
