Sunday Adventures

Sunday was a beautiful day weather wise. Don & I quickly knocked out the housework, grocery shopping, etc. and during the early afternoon received a telephone invite from Dennis and Sheila to come over for dinner.

We arrived around 4 p.m., cooked some BBQ pork chops over an open fire back in the woods, scalloped potatoes, green beans, macaroni salad, and fresh sliced garden tomatoes filled us all up. We visited with John and Charlotte who also stopped by to discuss an upcoming party on Labor Day weekend........ complete with a live band. The party is being held in honor of Charlotte's son, Dustin returning from Iraq. It promises to be yet another great time!

We are not sure what is going on with the puppy situation. Dennis and Sheila's, black labordor retriever, got an AKC Chocolate lab pregnant before the 4th of July.... anyways, now the owner is looking at making $$$ from the 12 puppies. So, I don't think we will be getting one.... Maybe it is a good thing with me working now....... the cost of gasoline, utilities, and various other things on the increase........ we really do not need the additional vetrinarian bills, dog food, and other expenses at the moment. However, in the event that he changes his mind, we may reconsider it........

My job is going good; I'm adjusting fairly well although 10 hrs. a day with drive time certainly isn't too much extra time for my hobbies. I am certain I'll adjust to it more as the days go by and get back into the swing of stamping and bookbinding. Hope to have some new samples to post soon......... {smile}
