Summer Rain

 Sitting inside this morning,

listening to the thunder and rain,

watching for the next bolt of lighting.

Good old summer rain storm to 

freshen up the flowers and water 

the lawns.

Again, I'm content!

Fashion Show With Hats

I have missed this little guy!

While on vacation I didn't get my Trey Day!

But I'm back!

 Trey and his dog Cooper have a special relationship.

Cooper loves the attention and Trey has a playmate.

Snack time with hat and stick.

Trey will be turning two years old

 at the end of next month!

I am so blessed to have one-on-one time

 with him every Tuesday!

Vacation Time

Time away is always fun.

This time it was, the BEST!

Tom and I planned our visit to Idaho,

  (where the grand kids live) 

for the annual Chick Fil-A,

Cow Day.

I don't know who was more excited,

Tom or the kids!

We all wore our homemade outfits 

and received a free breakfast!

Next day we went for a boat ride on

Lucky Peak Lake

It was really hot out!
We all got in and swam around.
The water was so refreshing.

Tom had fun teaching 

Lulu and Levi how to float.

What a fun time!

But the best part of the vacation
was Silas.

Look at him!

Silas is strong, active, healthy, and HAPPY!
Can you tell he had open heart surgery
just three months ago?

Time with our grandchildren also goes too fast.

It's always so hard to leave.

My girlfriend, since I was 3 years old, now lives in Idaho!

Can you guess who we visited on the way home?

Didi!

They built a beautiful home on a lake
and we had a great time,

talking, laughing, talking, eating, talking, swimming, talking, boating, and TALKING!

Didi's dog entertained us non-stop with 

water tricks.

Lucy got brave enough to go out on the dock 

all by herself, one morning.

It was before anyone else was up, except me!

On our way home we ran into a wild fire, out break.

We got stuck on a bridge, with backups for miles.

The temperature was hot!

Praise God, we didn't have to wait very long.

Then the next night,
 Tom and I went to the
Ringo Star Concert.

It has been a wonderful and happy week for me!

                   Now, it's back to laundry,

                                                       cooking.

                                                                    and cleaning.

I'm content!
