6/14 ~ The gift of time

Alex, our oldest girl, spent the afternoon and evening with us.  She is in town for the weekend and we had a great visit with her today.  For supper, she and her dad made spring rolls -- perfection on a hot summer night.

6/13 ~ Clementine love

The man and I went to Gainesville to see some friends of ours... friends who are now raising Clementine.  I almost cried when she came running straight to me.

That dog.  I love that she is happy in her new home.  Still, I miss her.   This won't be the last visit we have with her.

6/12 ~ Ten Happy Years

My husband and I have been married for ten years!   He made a tin mobile for me to celebrate the occasion.  

I love that man and I hope I can spend 100 more years with him.

6/11 ~ Leftovers

Sometimes, I can look around the yard and see where the girls have been.

6/10 ~ Fluffy white cloud day

The girls had a blast swimming at the lake today.

I love having friends who live on lakes.  Especially when they invite us to come jump off their deck.

6/9 ~ Her favorite place

Mili takes her job as Queen of the Backyard seriously -- but she still knows how to have fun while she fusses at the birds, chases the squirrels, talks to the airplanes, and argues with the neighbor's cats.

That is one happy girl!

6/8 ~ Welcome home

For the last nine months, my youngest step-daughter has been living and studying in London.  She is now back on our side of the pond.  Tonight, we had a celebratory dinner to hear about some of her adventures.
