Ashley's Introduction to her new BO

Ashley called last week and wanted to bring her new Bo over for dinner and games Sunday night so we could all meet him and basically evaluate the poor guy. If I do say so, any guy who can handle that girl has my utmost respect. He seems really nice and so sweet to her. He kept offering to help me with everything and it was just great to get to know him a little. We played a game about knowing the people you are playing with, so he was at a real disadvantage. Anyway, dinner was yummy, conversation was good and it's always awesome to me to have the people I love so much around me. Thanks for a great night........................

Saying goodbye to my boy, again

My boy got to come home for a week to work remotely. The company he works for said he could come home 1 week a month and work from here, which we were all happy about. I love that huge kid of mine. Zoey, his dog on the car, absolutely wets herself when she sees Ryan. She cries and whimpers for half an hour when she sees him. Its the cutest thing. They seem to have a real kinetic relationship. Unfortunately, I get teary eyed everytime I have to say goodbye. I'm very proud of my young man!

Lunch Dates and Bike Trips

O.K. So it's been eons since I have shared my days. Thought that it was time to play a little catch up. Last week, Summy, Brett and I had a nice lunch date at Sierra Nevada. Summy has been SO busy with summer school that I haven't seen hide nor tail of her for way too long. I miss that girl of mine, so it was nice to catch up and hear her latest goings on. Brett is always a treat for both of us. We had a greast time!

Last Sunday, Jacky, Bert, Dana and Ken, Sweetie and I all got a bike ride in on the American River bike trail. Jacky had never been on the trail and it always takes quite a bit of planning for her to be able to spend the day away. It was wonderful! The weather was beautiful and we even got a little swim in the river. Only complaint of the day was that it was'nt loing enough. Thanks for an awesome time, guys!

Never enough Summertime

I have no camera to document my days lately, although that is kind of a silly thing to say, due to the fact that we have a photo business and have many cameras around the house. Problem is, that they are not user friendly to me and I am wishing for a little digital that I can stick in my pocket for the many moments of my life that I want to remember.
Life has been busy lately, many trips to Sacto. to do stuff for the duplex and also to have work done on our menagerie of vehicles that we have so lamely let go. An old friend of mine has been bringing them all up to speed, and for all the work he has done, we are both very grateful! In spite of all the busyness, I always find time to mix in a little "FUN" and I am especially good at this in the summertime. This last weekend while we were in Sac; Rich and I got a chance to go out to dinner, movie, dance and run minimally clothed through the sprinklers at Land Park at midnight (everyone should do that at least once, it was AWESOME) and then had a sleepover/2:00a.m. picnic on the floor of the duplex! It was such simple, pure fun but I must say that sleeping on the floor felt a little harder than it did some years ago. That duplex holds SO many memories for him and I. It was our first home after we got married. We shared so much fun there and being back in that living room again to spend the night, was well, lets just say SPECIAL!!!
