New Day!

I've been meaning to do this for a few weeks now and I finally got my butt up and went to the beach to catch the sunrise. (Lets be honest - I didn't get myself up, the dogs woke me up) Anyway, as you'd expect I took LOTS of pictures - all on Picasa of course! Happy Hump Day all!

Cookie Lady!

The 3-day walk is headed our way this weekend and the cookie baking in preparation has begun! There is a bit of a debate in our house as to what constitutes a "good" sugar cookie so we made 3 different kinds, that mixed with Susan's cookie contribution will make for 4 different sugar cookie recipies. We'll see who wins!

Jigidy Jig!

The crafting continued today and my dad helped me make my first jig. Apparently it's something wood working people use to help make a repetitive process more efficient. Once we figured out all the elements that would speed up the process it turned out to be a huge help. To see the finished product, you might have to wait a while but I'll put it up eventually, it might have to be after the wedding though. Don't want to ruin any surprises! :o) Have a good Tuesday all!

Oh, and you didn't think I'd forget a shout out to one of my most dedicated followers...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOD!!!!

No Way!

What a gorgeous day at the beach! It wasn't a big group, (my parents and me, Mr. Ron, Mrs, Joanne, Andy, Annie, Bella and Aunt Patty), but no doubt things got a little crazy! Brace yourselves...Aunt Patty...GOT HER HAIR WET! Now for those of you who don't know this is a rare feat and was ALWAYS a childhood goal of ours. We would stay out in the water and plot ways to get her hair wet! Well, yesterday no plot was needed, under she went, all on her own! The heat wave must still be around!

In other news...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTIN!

Storm Rollin' In

While I was at work today this little bitty gust front came sauntering by. I submitted some of my pics for the 11:00 news but they didn't make it. :o( Oh well! Have a good weekend everyone!

Dog Nap?

I don't need to tell everyone how hot it is - well this afternoon, other than the lake (which we visited twice) the best place to be at our house was on the porch in front of the fan. It just so happens that we all kind of dozed off while we were cooling off!! :o) Another hot one on tap for tomorrow...we'll see what cooling techniques we can come up with!

Paint Chip Caper

If you happen to be perusing your local home improvement store and see a girl walking out with a large pile of paint chips, it's probably me! I've started a craft project that utilizes the many color options provided by paint chips!! Gotta love free craft supplies!!
