Its been along time

 It's hunting time again. Rufus pointed his first bird this year,(I'm so proud) and Lucky is a great hunter as always.

 This is Mikes new house in Arkansas, we call it the Clown house. It sits on 20 acres of rolling hills.

 This is my friend Diane's new puppy Larry.

 My new favorite food from Kim and Tom. Flat bread Kim rolls out and Tommy cooks on the Grill, topped with home grown peppers and feta cheese. Yummy

 Went to the farm with Tommy and all four dogs to walk and feed the bee's.

 I also had another birthday, had a great party with family. New hunting boots from everyone, I really needed warm boots.

I'm kind of a homebody, so not too much goes on with me, but here are a few photos of the last month.

Karen

Happy Birthday Karen. Hope you have a great day. Also hope you had a nice day date with Chuck, where did you go?  Oh, by the way. you are older than me!!

Work

Not so much fun at work!!!! Thursday is truck day at the Mountain. Everyone has to help unload the truck, then we have one day to get all of the freight out onto the sales floor. YUK. Some freight has been stuck in customs for a few weeks, well it arrived TODAY. As you can see it was stacked to the second floor of our stock room, what you don't see is that it's 15 feet deep. Glad that I'm OFF  Friday and Saturday!!!!

Funny

Very funny, makes me laugh

week in review

last week....

My mom surprised me with lunch at work, our favorite egg salad and triple chocolate donuts. And a really cute Tiger stuffed animal. Thanks Mom. A cool Bon Fire with a friend. I love the cooler weather, and am looking forward to the fall. Jeff had to leave work in and ambulance after hurting his back.  I also finally finished long overdue gifts for friends. I also found out that I have to go on a three day training trip for Gander, I'm very upset about leaving my boys. A friend said he would watch them at his house so I have been taking them over there to get used to his house. Rufus loves doing laps in the pool.

Gander Mountain

Fun at work!!!! The guys at Gander think it's really fun to scare the girls all the time, but Ben really got Wendy good yesterday. Ben hid in a footwear box, and as you can see jumped out of it at the perfect time.

Lunch & Dinner

Last Monday was a very FULL day for me. I planned to meet my friend Diane for dinner, we have been trying to get together for a year now and we finally found a day that worked. That morning I talked to my friend Karen and she asked me to meet her and her sister for lunch. Talk about a lot of food in one day.... I'm still full.

It was really nice to catch up with everyone. Thanks for lunch Karen.

Dog Park

Lucky loves anyone fishing at the dog park. These little boys were really cute and loved lucky. Rufus found a little frog to play with.

Lake Michigan Dog Beach

Watched the sunrise over Lake Michigan this morning. The dogs had a blast once they got over the shock of waking up at FOUR o'clock.

Birthdays

Yesterday we celebrated my brother Tom and nephew Dans birthday. Good time spent with my family, ate WAY too much.

Mikes Car

This is my friend Mikes small, FAST, Lotus. Fun car, the steering wheel is on the right side of the car so when he drives around with his dog Duke it looks like Duke is doing the driving.

Necklace

This is the necklace my mom mad for me last week. I LOVE it. All of my "babies" are on it. The locket is especially meaningful to me, it holds the two little faces of Reilly and Taylor. Thanks Mom.

Mikes jet

How the other half lives.

Fried okra

My face says it all...

Taylor

My beautiful little boy Taylor took his last breath today. Yesterday I could tell he was starting to suffer. I spent the day loving him. I took him outside to enjoy the sunshine and he crawled over next to the spot where Reilly is buried and fell asleep. Today my brother Tom and Mike came to say goodbye to Taylor and help me make it through the day. Mike called Taylor, Mighty White the king of all kings. Now Taylor is with his brother again, happy and healthy, playing outside in a big sun filled field. I know that I will see them again someday, but until then I will think of them everyday.
