friday the 13th

and the weekend begins

happy friday! as i sit here typing i can't help but smile one the day i had, thus far.. 

1.  woke to screams coming from the basement.  being asleep, i was not sure exactly what the words were, as to the tone that they were coming in.  as i jumped out of bed, the words became clear, ' the water is gushing in'..  run downstairs to see a fountain of water gushing up 2 feet in the air, about an inch when we got there, and gushing...

2.  having the hubby volunteer to stay home and get the water situation under control, i went off to work. {somewhat thinking that it may be a optional day, on account of the storm} of course once i got to work, the: monsoon rain stops, clouds open up, sun beams through the storm clouds, and the humidity starts making everything sticky.  had to chuckle with loralee, how this always happens: especially when you are wanting it to rain.  :)

3.  a surprise lunch date, courtesy of my husband.  nothing like a&w on the tailgate of hanky!  farley got to meet some new friends, as he found a hole in the fence...

cannot say that this friday the 13th has been all bad, not that i am superstitious. 

i've included  a couple of photos of farley today.  he was sad because it is pouring out so we only took him for a short walk, with promises of a longer one later. 
enjoy :)

cool summer evenings...

relief from the humidity
yes, ed & i are both wearing sweaters.   no, not because we were cold, the mosquitoes were crazy !!!


last night enjoyed nightly walk-a-bout without the crazy humidity.  never looked forward to the rain soo much, aaron actually took me out for a celebratory meal. 
       {we sat on the patio, watching the rain pour; nothing like 'poor mans' air conditioning :) }

enjoy the photos of the evening walk :)

August Long Weekend '10

rushing river

what an adventure that weekend was, of course in a good way. {chris may think differently, although he was a sport...} 

started out with a couple detours, wild blueberries everywhere you looked, a near drowning, a few storms and severe watches, amazing food, great company, sunny afternoons, couple of farley/meatloaf escapee run,  world domination {risk}, amazingly clear water and a bit of fishing...  weekend in a nutshell





enjoy  :)
