Puppy pix!

"Baby boy" puppy, almost five weeks old.

Yesterday's news, of my brother-in-law being hospitalized, has postponed the birthday party. My husband will be 70 all year and it can wait. For now, we will just be sending all our good thoughts and energy to him for good health. A most important factor, isn't it?

Tired Timber

Timber, very tired after another day of watching Wrigley chase tennis balls.

Lists, lists and more lists

The weather is getting cooler, the morning glories are perky and I am feeling more energetic about household chores. This all comes with Fall. This week is hubby's birthday. His 70th! I have decided to have our family here to celebrate. After all, it's a special birthday. What an incentive to clean house! I will have help on Friday, but I mean the extra things that you ignore like the refrigerator, the freezer, the tops of things that no one can see, the glass and knick knacks to wash, the paper piles to sort. Then there's the artwork that I forever want to get up on the walls. Maybe I'll get a few more pieces hung. And the cooking and baking done with thought and love. Not the "oh, what should I cook today" kind. Pretty hors d'oeuvres and cakes and cookies! Oh...the lists!

Oh Wrigley!

Our friend, "Wrigley", is here for a little stay while his family is away. He loves to play ball and , when we aren't looking, he likes to push it under the fence so that he can try to dig it back. He thinks that is so much fun! He has also taken a liking to my morning glories. "Wrigley! Please don't eat the daisies!"

"A shore lunch"

Lunch at Julie and Rob's today. A very special lunch! Walleye and Northern that they caught in Canada last month.

Rob cooked it in an outdoor fish cooker and it was yummy! Crunch!
