"..in the End, all that really matters isn't the things you did, but what its effects are today, not the knowledge you have learned, but how you applied it, not the words that were said, but how they made you feel, and most of all, not the moment of occurrence, but how its now just a part of our memory.. Everyday, we make memories.. Let's paint lives with happy ones.."

Tuckered out!


liitle.....BIG...this pic cracks me up. : )
She's not this small anymore!

 Iris has not had this much excercise ever & she is tuckered out! We used to think she was a very active dog....then we threw a puppy into the mix.
  Willow is growin' like weed. And let me tell you...this pup has kept us jumpin'! I am exhausted! Lol!
But, everyday she turns a new corner and something about her changes....today, she is sleeping on my lap.
Lol....she has never slowed down long enough to do that! :)
  Iris has been  mouthed and wrestled with for weeks now and has never once lost her cool with this pup. KUDOS to you Iris! That's my girl!
 She is never far from Iris' side.

Take er' down!

Last week we had to take down one of our many peach trees. They are all coming down one by one....it will just take me some time  to part with them. They were planted by Tom's father in the late 80's and have all become quite pathetic looking. The largest is lit for the holidays and I don't think that i could ever part with that one..I love that tree!
 Our friend Steve dropped in and helped out. We chopped it down in no time!
I am feeling very 'exposed' in the front yard now....but, it will grow on me.


 Then  I chopped & chopped until I turned the stump into a bunch of toothpicks until I could get it out and plant grass over.

Fun in the Sun!

The summer weather is upon us and so it begins!

This is our friend Connor starting off the season by jumping into 68 degree water! Burrrr!
Why don't kids feel the cold??

 Our weekend mornings are filled with yardwork and the afternoons are filled with Fun In The Sun!
Certainly one of my favorite pastimes for sure!...we wait all week for it.
 Here, my brother- in- law Scott coaxes his grandson  Talan to jump from the side of the pool for the first time, again and again and again. Yeahhhhhh Talan!
 
  My hubby bought me a tent! I have been asking for one so that I can camp out in the yard. We don't have a screened in porch ,  this is the next best thing. Lol! Camping is not 'up there' on my list, yet since I am only outside our bedroom window,  I erected my tent and gave it a whirl!  Iris and I had a nice evening, fireplace lit, I roasted marshmallows & slept under the stars....until we got rained on @ 4AM! I did'nt have the rain top on.....because you can't see the stars that way? The next night , I was smart.....I put it on.
