We celebrated the 4th of July with friends last night. These lucky folks own a house near the park with a perfect view of the fireworks display. People began showing up around 7 for grilled hamburgers and all sorts of delicious side dishes. It was an unusually nice evening for July. The humidity was relatively…
Yo ho ho!
That lavender bandana he’s been wearing was just a wee bit girly but thanks to Tori at Torizworld, Shiloh now sports this awesome new one. Her dog, Kero, got one for his birthday recently and when I asked where she bought it she kindly offered to send one to Shiloh. Wasn’t that sweet? Now I will…
Happyland Music Fest – Part I
We are still trying to recover from Happyland Music Fest last weekend. I did get my kitchen clean and I moved all the stuff left in my family room to the exercise room and closed the door…which is my latest excuse for not getting on the treadmill. The house is basically back to livable standards….

The best things in life…

Even after our meal was over we sat and talked another couple of hours. We talked of our children, our church, funny things and serious stuff. We are fortunate…

An afternoon with friends
Last night we saw the movie “The Social Network”, which was excellent. It was still early when the movie let out so we went to the North Lounge for a drink and a snack. A friend was there alone, having just gotten off work, and we joined him. Shortly after we got there, George, the…
Life on the patio…
All summer we went out with friends at least once and often twice a week. These weren’t usually planned affairs but more of the “Let’s do something tonight” variety.
