Taking a Few Shots

Wow, it's been awhile and this won't be much of an update but I did manage to get out the other evening and then today I actually took the day off to go take pictures. Didn't get anything I like but I did have a really good time. My photography buddy, Ola, is just a hoot. So here are a couple of shots and I will have a good update soon as Linds, Kyle and Luke are coming tomorrow. I wish all the rest of the kids were coming but as I know well, life just gets too busy. I have to admit though that I am missing Sullivan! Hopefully I can head down there next Thursday or Friday. Especially considering Jamie won't send me a new picture and I haven't seen them in over 3 weeks!!!
Holy Crap~~I love it here

BAD YEAR FOR PETS

Kona Girl, 16 years old. She'd been a stray that showed up about a week after I moved back here. She was a good old girl that Jm always called the 'welfare cat' or as Jamie referred to her 'Smelly Cat' but she really was sweet and she had a good life.

JD Boy, 5 years old and oh how we loved this guy, still can't go there...

And my tough boy Calvin, my little Cally, 14 years old. I miss you so much.
I told Jim I was getting another dog and he didn't believe me.
He was the best little boating dog going and an even better kayaker. You drove us nuts but you were so much fun.

And now my poor little Mitzy. Only had her 3 weeks but had already fallen for her when I saw her little face at the SPCA. She was fine but went into complete liver failure. Could have been a plant that she got into, no one will ever know but it just broke my heart.
No more pets for awhile... it's just too hard. My old ticker can't take it.

IT'S SUMMER BABY!!!!

Well what a wonderful weekend. Jamie and John and Sully. Lots of John's family and friends and even our 10th anniversary which was celebrated at Henry Bay on Sea Lure with our best buddies. Couldn't get any better other than it would have been a blast to have all the rest of you kids here. Oh well, maybe some day we can get everyone here together on a great summer day. We're looking so forward to Kyle, Linds and Luke coming out soon but I got disappointing news tonight that Danny can't make it. I can understand though, it so expensive and it would be better to save the money and come out with Jen and the baby later.

This time last year I was in a cast and in total panic mode over the wedding...
now there's a baby at their feet, life is good.Cute little gaffer isn't he? I miss him when he leaves...there's always a lingering baby powder smell, could be the package of Pampers but I would like to think it's just our little Sully.

You gotta love these young bucks out looking for chicks on the beach.
Guys eh? They're always the same.

Yay Mya!!!! First one in at our house.

There are some great rocks out front so Jamie, Mya, Kyle and Sue (John's mom) headed out.

Kyle decided it was just too hard on his little feet.

Marty and Chris decided it would be good night for a swim but the water
was stirred up with the wind and it was just a tad cold...

Marty did it though and Chris and Darcee donned their wet suits and made it out a little later

There aren't a lot of birds or waterfowl around here compared to the old place but check this guy out. He preened and preened for about an hour and then stood like this for probably another 1/2 hour drying his wings.

The view from our bedroom window last night, great way to end a great weekend.
