Rich is home!

Rich came home yesterday from Arizona. He's here visiting until Monday. A long weekend is all he can do this time around.
Last night (Thursday), Tanner, Makayla and I went over to my parents house to see him. While we were there, Rich decided to hit some golf balls. This was something that excited both Tanner & Makayla. Within minutes, Tanner brought out his golf clubs from the basement of my parents house. Tanner can hit a golf ball pretty good. Makayla is just learning. :-)
I wish I had my camera the moment that Uncle Rich helped Miss Makayla swing a club. It was so cute! It's nice having a PE teacher for an Uncle!

Tonight we will be having a big dinner at my parents. I'll be sure to update again soon!

Renaissance Festival

This past Saturday, Bob & I went to the Renaissance Festival. Bob had never been so I thought he should check it out.



We left Saturday morning and arrived around Noon at the festival. We were having a great time checking out the dunking pond, eating yummy food and looking at the many different artists goods.



I love hand thrown pottery so I made sure I checked out the pottery made by a librarian I know.
Near the end of the day, we decided to check out the 'DaVinci brothers show'. We knew nothing about it but we were enjoying the other shows so we decided to check it out.
The idea behind the show was to have an audience participation opera. Well.....Bob was lucky enough to be picked to be part of the show. Ok, maybe Bob wouldn't consider it lucky but I did!



Bob was picked to play the part of ' Suzanne the delicious'. Yes, I did say Suzanne. I'm attaching pictures but trust me- being there in person to watch it in so much fun. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. Bob did a great job!
So - the next time you see Bob - be sure and ask him about Suzanne the delicious.

Birthday gift from Jeanne

My girlfriend/co-worker Jeanne, surprised me at work on Monday. She made me these wonderful sugar cookies in the shape of high heels. Jeanne knows how much I enjoy wearing my heels. LOL So - as a birthday gift, she left these on my desk - along with the cute cookie cutter.




Cranberry Lake







Bob & I decided to take a camping trip to Cranberry Lake in the Adirondack region. I had never been to the Adirondack area of New York. Bob had been but had never been camping at Cranberry Lake. We left Friday, July 3rd around 8:30am - right as it was starting to rain (again). It rained most of the way up North. We set up in the rain, we cooked in the rain, and we ate dinner in the rain. Saturday we got up, it was still raining, so we cooked breakfast in the rain and then decided to take road trip. We went to Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake and then Lake Placid. It was awesome to see where the Olympics were held. After our road trip, we returned back to camp - took a quick bike ride in the rain and then cooked dinner in the rain. :-)
My parents gave me a screen house for my birthday and this was the first time we used it. We were sooooooo thankful to use it. It really was a great gift to have this rainy weekend.





Can you see a pattern?? Rain, rain, rain............





It finally stopped raining around 8pm, just in time for a camp fire.





Our drive home on Sunday was a beautiful sunny ride home!





Overall, we had a great weekend and I would do it again in a heart beat! Thanks to Bob for this camping trip. This was part of my birthday present.

kids bedrooms

Tanner & Makayla left at the end of June to spend 2 weeks this summer with their father. Before they left, I gave them the opportunity to clean their rooms OR I would clean the rooms for them while they were gone.





Tanner decided it would be best if he cleaned it himself. (good idea).





Makayla decided she didn't want to clean hers - it would be best if I cleaned it.










Here are some pictures I thought you would like to see.....
Tanner's room has the map of the US on the carpet
Makayla pictures are - some before (well - two days into cleaning before I started taking pictures) and then the after it was done.
