Back to School.

GOOD HEAVENS it has been a long time since I have blogged.  Let's see . . . . .
 We have added a new member to our vehicle entourage. Meet Chester!

This lovely van is mine. All mine. And is to be used for hauling my crap all over the place. Try not to be jealous. :)

Things have been hectic around here. Little Oli stopped by earlier this month, walked into my house, looked around and asked: "Are your cleaners coming soon?"

Yes. It was that bad that a 4 year old noticed. It's a good things he's cute.

This kid melts my heart.  He coached me thru the proper way to put our arms around each other.

 Last weekend Boyd, I and Chester went to Rapid City for a mini-Lucky Day sale! It was a fantastic success and I look forward to do more of them!  My relatives rock!

 

I have finally set the date for the BIG Lucky Day Sale - Saturday, Sept. 21 at my parents’ place. I will post more details soon. This also means, that I need to paint paint paint.

Boyd started teaching today.  I'm so proud of him.  

They grow up so quick.

Mel and Lou are thriving. Betsy and Lucy are annoying. (They are so NEEDY!)

New Member Alert to our Zoo:  While in Rapid City, we decided to adopt my cousin's loveable husky:  Kona.  She is a sweetheart and we are excited for her to come and live with us!  Boyd just keeps shaking his head at me but I know he is pumped as well. :)

Kona and Baby June.

A few weeks ago we went kayaking: 

Me: My arms are tired.

Boyd: You just need to get warmed up.

Me: We should get a hot tub.

Boyd: Do you ever notice how girls make "hot tubbing" sound like a sport.  "Let’s go hot tubbing! My interests include hot tubbing"  (said with sarcasm)

Me: Girls are so dumb. My arms are still tired.

Boyd finished the porch roof the other day. It looks quite lovely. Apparently it is now my job to paint the porch. I don’t have time for this! Someone call the cleaners!

During all the crazy . . . . I’m trying to recognize the good around me. Whether its seeing a great sunset or beautiful cloud formations; taking my dogs for a walk and soaking up their pure adoration of me (no one loves me like my dog); eating dinner on the porch as many nights as possible and/or finding the time for evening kayaking with Boyd. Sometimes it is of utmost importance to stop and smell the roses. Or in my case . . .the cut wheat field near my house. Perfection.
