Great weekend!

This past weekend was (possibly) the last trip to the lake for the year. We tried to enjoy it to the fullest! Sitting on the dock at my parents' house is honestly one of my favorite places to be. I have a hammock I set up where I sun myself and listen to the waves lap up on the rocks. The only sounds of humanity are boat motors!

Above is the new patio we put in this spring, it is a good resting place between the house and the dock!

As you can see everyone was relaxed and had fun; my brother and I swapping hats, Hawkins enjoying a boat ride, and my parents on the deck! Good bye sweet lake house, see you next year!

A funny little book

I was at my friendly neighborhood big-box this evening and was strolling through the book/magazine area and found a book that made me laugh out loud! Don't worry, it isn't dirty! It is a little picture book basically with some great lines in it. Below is one of the pages. If you can't read it, it says "Ooh, look. The NFL playoffs are today. I bet we'll have no problem parking at the crafts fair". While I'd be more likely to want to watch the playoffs then go to a craft fair, the idea is pretty good! It got me to thinking. As Single Gal what would I really appreciate my mate to do? I loathe doing the dishes. I also despise taking out the trash. One of the other pages in the book is a complete hottie scooping the litter box, that would be awesome too! That's about it, pretty much everything else I can tolerate. Mr. Right-if you're out there, please know that I look forward to sharing chores and if you volunteer for these two that will win you BIG points! ;)

Take Action Tuesday

It feels like Monday but it is, in fact, Tuesday. As I mentioned in my last post I've been out of town for the last several days. This afternoon I plucked 4 days of mail out of my mailbox and found nothing that I wanted to open. So, this week's "Take Action Tuesday" involves mail. In this electronic age I treasure a hand-written note all the more and seem to write fewer and fewer of them. This week dig out your beautiful stationary or note cards, take out a loan and buy some stamps and grace 2 good friends or family members with a personal note.
Take Action! Go! And be sure to leave a comment if you participate, ESPECIALLY if you choose to take action in a different fashion. May be a good idea for a future Take Action Tuesday!

I've been around this weekend!

It has been a crazy 5 days! I've traveled 700 miles, been in 3 states and made my bed in 4 different places. Some time was spent on work but most of it was on play. I'll have some great pictures to post later in the week. The adventure began Thursday in Indy and went from there...
Friday-New Albany/Louisville KY
Saturday-Columbus, OH
Sunday and Monday-near Millersburg, OH
Tuesday-Columbus and then finally home to Indy
Hawkins and I are very tired after our big adventure and the kitties are glad to see us (I think)!
Good night!
