Visit with Brad ~and other nonsense.

Look at those eyes!! How can anyone not just fall in love with this boy.

Brad came over last night to spend some time with Nanny and Pap-pap. Slept most of the time...but snuggled with me a bit. I read Moo, Baa, Lalala, to him. (the book was a gift from our media specialist, her favorite 'grandma' book). I don't think he heard a word. He did wake up long enough for me to feed him. Guzzled that bottle down like you would not believe. No wonder he is growing so fast.

When Sarah put him in the car seat to take him home, out popped those wide eyes. I had to grab the camera to get this pic. Before they left the house, Brad was tying to snooze again.

Now on to my other babies, Bear and Tara. Man, for two healthy dogs it sure did cost enough at the vet. Of course shots, flea meds, heartworm test, heartworm med, yadda yadda, adds up. So much for having that credit card paid off.

Its really hot here today. Heat index is suppose to be somewhere between 100-105. I have to work at the stadium tonight so I'm not really that thrilled about it. Luckily, I'm suppose to be selling tickets, well I better be selling tickets, in the airconditioning. I wonder just how big a crowd we will have in this heat. Especially since it is Advertiser's Appreciation night. Hot enough today that I took the summer school students to the gym for recess instead of outdoors in the heat. So hot outside, even the pool does not provide relief, since the water is 90 degrees.

Big Trip Today

Okay, you may not consider it a big trip, but you have never tried to take my two dogs to the vet at the same time. Why I torture myself with this I'll never know. Its probably been 2 or 3 years since I've taken them to the vet. They are getting old (Tara is 11 Bear is 13) and I am hesitant to take them to the vets. You never know what will be found, etc, Poor Bear definately has some hip problems. After putting Miss Kitty to sleep last year, the vet has not been my favorite place.

This has been an aweful year for fleas. These poor babies of mine are lousy with them. I know the vet has a "magic pill", I call it, that kills all the fleas on the dogs. I'm hoping this will help us get control of these nasty critters.

Brad has been at the beach with his momma and other grandparents this week. I can't wait for him to come home. I'll bet he has grown so much. There definately will be new pictures. I bought a swing to keep at the house last weekend at the flea market. Washed up and looks brand new. I still need to get him a pack and play.

Americas' Sail


WOW....cool ship, hot weather. Of course I only wanted to see the Pirate Ship~Go Sinbad!!!!

Don't Dave and I look so happy to be there. That is what 25 years of marriage does to you. Here we are sitting on the deck of the Wolf.

Americas' Sail was really neat. We only saw the ship at Beaufort, we didn't venture to Moorehead. It was just too hot to go there after standing in the heat for 3 hours touring these ships.

Time to go...got to go to work..Yuck.
