SUMMER FUN & SUMMER WORK!

I know you will find this hard to believe but yes, that is Richard holding his puppy...and yes they are in the front room, forbidden territory for animals, that is until Richard got "Harley". He is the cutest little guy and Garrett really loved him too. The Taylor family have witnessed a miracle, and I find such joy in this little addition to their family. Now it is two goats, one Iguana, and a long awaited puppy. Happy Day!

Well what could be better than being a great grandma. Here are the pictures to prove that once again grandkids rule: KC never had it so good because he had constant attention. The "Mercantile" has the best ice cream cones, and so of course we had to pay them a visit, the best part was watching Garrett let KC share his ice cream cone. After a morning at Dinosour Park, sharing Ice Cream and going to the Climbing Wall, I went to YW/YM Activity while Jared, Katie and Garrett visited with the Kings and checked out the Mall.

Now it is obvious that KC and Garrett were great pals but it really surprised me when I came home from the YW service activity and found Jared on the couch with KC curled up on his tummy. Jared said, "I think he likes me", well you know I think Jared likes KC so maybe someday they will have a dog and join the rest of the family in this love affair we share.

Time went all too fast and now I just long for the time when they return. Katie and Vickie have posted such cute pictures on their blogs so be sure to check them out.

By the time we finished cleaning up all the fruit that had fallen from the trees, cleaned the shed, cut the trees, cleaned the gutters, etc it was off to a delightful BBQ and Fireside. I think I am way too old to be doing this but until the Bishop agrees I guess I will continue. I do love the girls and as I look back to realtionships formed so many years ago with the YW it has so many rewards. And now it is off to bed because KC is trying to tell me it is time to put out the lights.

Be Happy life is full of surprises and love.
