Summer Catsup

Actually, it is a summer catch-up, but it also sounds like catsup.

I took lots of walks with the dogs.  There were some beautiful evenings and sunsets.  And our beautiful puppy, Mee-kah.  She does not look like a puppy but she sure still acts like one.  It is funny to see such a huge animal act so young.

My oldest daugther and I took a cake decorating class together.  I really enjoyed that.  It came in handy when it was time to celebrate our 21 anniversary.  The Eifel Tower is my attempt at romance- tee hee.

My youngest daughter always inspires everyone to go have fun taking photos.  With her sister and her friends.  I love these fun girls!

 My husband's cousin, MS, came to town.  She is an architect, so it was really fun walking downtown with her looking for Art Deco era buildings.  We found one with all the original workmanship.  Oh how I wish I had my real camera.  The lighting just didn't do justice with my phone.  We had a fun dinner here at home with her, hearing about her amazing life and adventures.  I loved it when she told the girls to do well in English because that is the one subject she uses the most to convince others why they should hire her, choose her as the guest speaker, fly her to conferences, select her for excavations on the other side of the world, etc.  She must be a very persuasive rider and she has a lot of confidence in herself, her abilities, and desires, which I think is very admirable.

There was the back-to-school fashion show.  I don't know what was up with them, but I could hardly get them to pose this year.  

 There were many trips to the dog park, Lake Calhoon, downtown, summer movies to watch and books to read, babysitting, baking, mowing lawns, and playing.  It was a wonderful summer, that as usual, I hated to see come to an end.  But I feel truly blessed for all the time I got to spend with my family.  It was very fun and very needed!
