The boy slept over at a friend's after homecoming. I finally called to tell him he needed to return to me. Then I cooked him a small snack of 7 scrambled eggs. Then Hubs came home from a fishing tournament at Rocky.

Time passes...

My borrowed MacBook bit the dust. Second day of vacation I think so no blogger on the go.

We left at 7am on Saturday and got home at 8pm. Not a bad drive really. I mean, who am I kidding, I didn't drive at all. Yo drove the whole way. I think I got in the driver's seat to pull around the parking lot once. That's it.

It really was the best vacation. We had such a good time.

Monday the boys went dress shopping with me. St. Vincent de Paul, Gayle's Vintage, Goodwill, Valley Thrift; they were troupers.

Watched some Project Runway yesterday, Suits, Covert Affairs... spent time helping Bub's clean his room. Packed up 4 garage sale boxes.

I really missed the girls. Apparently they've missed me too because they've been like glue.

Facebooked it.

Last night Bub's had a friend over and I was completely amazed and delighted when they came downstairs and said, "Wanna play scrabble?" Has my answer ever been no? No. We played one long game of scrabble- the two TEENAGERS, me and the hubs. It was so fun. Then they continued to sit at the kitchen table....................
I KNOW!!! and so I suggested Pit. We had so much fun it was incredible. At lunch today they came out of hiding and said we'll play again this evening. Who are these kids?

Stella craves our attention. If you are still for a moment she is sitting on your lap, behind your back, on your feet or anywhere she can get close to you. It's amazing. Little booger just wants to look at you. And for you to look at her.

Crazy Hot

This past week has been in the upper 90s and lower 100s. Crazy hot.

With Sam visiting Ginger came to visit too and we turned this beach into a doggy beach!

The girls know if they sit on my feet I won't move them.

3 dogs in a bed might be a little extreme.

Sam catches onto the foot sitting thingy.

Fast friends.

It's too hot on this dog day afternoon. Let us in!

Preparing for the Hilton Head Trip.

Even John and I took an evening swim.

A wedding. An opportunity to wear new shoes!

Bubs drove my parents, G and L and Me out for the fireworks on the lake.

I worked 12 hours yesterday to get some hours in before leaving for HHI Friday. M stopped by and we went to Ron's for lunch where Ron took our order. He said he has the best slaw in town. And he was right.

Went to Aroma's and back to school shopping with Mom and Bubs. It was a very enjoyable day.

The anticipation of a trip is half the fun

Yesterday was the fourth of July. Midsummer. I was home all day going through my summer pinterest board, making projects, moving some to my Hilton Head board for food, exercise, activities. Good stuff. Good times. M came over for awhile and brought her bags for the HHI trip and some mason jars! She said she just has too many! Who can have too many mason jars! So I'm splitting with Yo to spread the wealth. Lovely. Today will be more of the same. I like my goals sheet I made yesterday.


The anticipation of a trip is half the fun. Yesterday's pinning was exciting. I hope this turns into an annual trip of girls who get along and have a relaxing time.

Last week I went to Yo's pool for a pre Hilton Head meeting. Harley was happy to see me

 My girls really wanted to get in. Right away!

 After swimming and playing all day they crashed.

 OH happy day!

 A weekday brunch at Panera with the boys.

 M. is moving soon. Bubs is upset because he loves her pond. So I took him out to say goodbye.

 Mornings and evenings...

 Sam the man hangs out with us for a week.

 Big storms came through last Friday and nature cleaned house.

 I have three magnets that are drawn to wherever I am.

Pinterest Day

Yesterday G came to visit since I'm sequestered here with Sam. It was nice. She brought her dog Ginger and we took the dogs swimming. I was a little nervous Sam was going to take off swimming across the lake but he did ok. Actually he absolutely loved it!

Today is July 4th and I'm staying home. Again. With Sam. The boys went to town for the 4th of July festivities. I do hate to miss that. We see everybody and its quite nice.

Watched Sahara Monday. I think I've seen it before but not all the way through.
Also watched the first Pirates of the Caribbean.

Being home I've made some Pinterest projects lately...
