The Good Life...

Out for dinner last Sat evening with Danny and Kristy.

And then Kristy came to pick my green beans which won't quit and of which she was ever so grateful.  Or not.  Who LIKES to do green beans? my great big salsa mess...We had such a fine time gossiping and sharing strong opinions...

We had these cousins come visit us from Nebraska and we promptly sent them to work.  I think Zerrick never wants to visit Auntie Shilah again. For Shaunti's birthday, we had an outdoor pool party.  Lunch, water balloons, & gunny sack races. Ladies sweltering in the sun before Judy brought a lovely tent to shade us...   Happy 8th Birthday!   I was honored to be able to do Erika's flowers for her wedding...   All the bouquets finished in a bucket... Shaunti got to be flower girl... So precious... Sunday morning... After a midnight call or transfer that Bruce had... This fine morning.  Laife is in 8th grade. Toria is in 6th. Shaunti is in 3rd.  I cried this mornin...
