saturday

It's been so freaking beautiful in Ky. I mean you couldn't ask for better weather. We hit 86 degrees today........I spent the whole day and evening outside.
We celebrated oldest sons birthday today. A few of the guys son grew up with joined us for a grill out. It was good seeing them.....................it was funny because when they got here they called us to come to the front yard..............in sons jeep they had placed a blow up doll (Mary), their birthday gift to him..... all of them had signed the doll and they had a 6 pack of beer between her legs..............it was funny........

Daughter made the varsity squad.........so yay! for her.

We-Pings paw/leg looks much better...........there's only slight swelling.......and she's able to bear weight. A couple days ago she was in the front yard chasing/playing bumble bees. I suspect she may have been stung.........but would that cause pain? I don't know.....I'm just glad she's feeling and looking better. I opted not to take her to the vet.

I have a huge maple tree in my back yard. I used to love that tree. It's part of the reason I bought this house. I thought the kids would have fun climbing the darn thing......and they did............and they spent hours on the tire swing that their dad hung from the tree..................but now........well now I'm constantly having to sweep leaves, helicopters, & dead branches from the yard, gutters, roof, deck and grass........plus I think the poor old thing is half dead.............................I'm tired of it.............and so I have a tree guy coming to the house Tuesday to talk to him about cutting it down.
