Outdoor dining and some other stuff

Hot chocolate, buttered bagel and fresh air. What could make a better evening?

maybe a car wash can make the night even more fun?

And a golf cart ride? Yes!

How much do I love this helmet? SO much...safety first, Uncle Glenn :)

Home

Home from a day (and night) away. And I am where I should be. Love this life.

Art

We worked together, we took some breaks, we made some art, we battled with a hair dryer and toothbrush, we loved this project! I have them in my office now and get comments daily (even a detective in my office wanted to talk about how to do this project!) about this very cool art project!

Sweet Spot

I got a few goosebumps with memories of sitting on this bench with my dad playing 'sweatout' for the court to clear, of the hours that I happily spent here working to finally beat my dad, of my mom playing with flip flops on or switching hands while playing, of getting annoyed at dad for feeding me goofy shots (that actually helped my game), of the moments with my friends playing 'friendly' matches, of playing a match while boys played basketball through the fence (this was a good tool for concentration at times), of victories over some of those basketball boys in doubles matches with one of my girlfriends, of sweeping off the rain in the 5 or 6 spots where it settled so we could get back to playing (my dad will say I never swept!), of having our own hopper of balls for a more efficient practice, of walking the 3 house distance home for more fruit punch gatorade or a few ice pops in between games, of just what an amazing upbringing my parents provided me. This picture is full of moments, memories and thoughts of thankfulness.

I can only hope Luke will have similar memories and thoughts as he takes a detour to his 'hometown' on the way to an out of town meeting someday when he is 'all grown up'.

He may still be living with me, though, as he is currently fixated on 'never leaving mommy's house' and I am not going to argue :)

Double Date

Saturday morning....and we are off!

"The people on the highway are on vacation, mommy"

My blues man...

Waiting with no luck to try on some shoes...striderite.com thank you for your service!

Luke took off with his babysitter to eat steak at Chili's and we just took Star off on our date with us. Luke ended up calling his waitress baby, and charming the waitstaff at the restaurant while he ate a huge meal! And...when his babysitter was told 'your son is really well behaved', Luke piped up and said, 'he isn't my real daddy, he is my babysitting daddy!'

Paddleboat Time

Just a little bit of fun was had...'Ducks, save us from the sharks!' (and cheerios eaten)

Few snapsots
