Summer Catch up

Renee's 30th Birthday

30 degrees!!

Renee and Lois celebrated their birthdays on Mother's Day... May 12th.

It was FREEZING (literally) but our hearts and laughter kept us all toasty warm.

We celebrated at Lake Sippo with family and friends.

I drove down to Ashland and enjoyed the hospitality of the Starkey's on their pontoon boat.  

Cindy, Harvey, Donna, Larry and I spent quality time together and made another happy memory.

Larry's yard work supreme

And, finally, I adopted a dog- for six days!
Sadly, she was far too active (very high maintenance) for this almost 64 year old to keep up with.
Her name was Lexi. She was a 7 month old yellow lab that had spent too much time caged and untrained.
I feel guilty and will think long and hard before I allow myself another impulsive mistake.
Sorry, Lexi.
Forgive me.

Bella and Lexi chilling... for 15seconds!

then non stop play

the calm before the storm

Good bye, little Lexi...
