THINGS ARE HEATING UP!

Springs transition into summer is proving to be a bit...  shall we say... heated! 

And with summer just around the corner...  (Well, Summer is actually present all year round in our neck of the woods *wink*wink*)

Anyhoooo...  we are preparing

First, some good business happening at my office.  It's been a great year so far... thanks to many God-given, satisfied customers who I love.  Below, a glimpse at some of my newspaper advertising.

 I thought I might splurge.  And so UPS brought me these two big boxes last week which I had to sign for.  Can you guess what's inside?

Ahhhh... spring summer  whatever this season is that I am living in right now....  It is a time of preparing to kick back, grab a good book, and have a picnic lunch on the new deck.  But first.  Shopping for patio furniture for that deck.  Found a good buy at Sears for only $380 something...  I love the swivel chairs, they are so comfortable.  Glad I found this on sale.   Now to find an umbrella.

Spring summer ....  Spummer.  Yea.  That's what I'll call this season.  Spummer.   It's giving me fresh flowers daily.

A nice view looking out my bedroom window. 

The very best in entertainment....

And new things to explore.

  I think I like this new season of Spummer.

Busy

Took the kiddies to see Angry Birds and Ninja Turtles.  We separated.  PopPop and Jake for the Turtles and Lindsey, Rissi, Summer and me for Angry Birds.  

I have been so busy at work that it's hard to find time for anything fun.  Glad I could fit that in.

 Today was church.  Gracie got a walk when it finally quit raining.  Since I worked Friday, my weekend blew by way too fast.  I'm hoping for a full three day weekend next week...  but I am thankful for the business and will work if I need to.  Hope everyone is enjoying their spring.

Dear Diary,

I spent the day at the spa on Thursday.   It feels good to have all that fur gone but I hate water  and baths and people fooling around with my ears.  This all happened on spa day.  I'm still a little miffed about it.  Mom wants to know if I want to play Wally.  So I'll act mad for just another minute or two ... then I'm off to play.  later.  Gracie.

Smile! You're famous!

Anvil is not at all impressed with his recent rise to fame.  What fame, you ask?   He is being featured for this quarter in OFF I-68 Visitor's Guide.  He is not impressed.

But Gary and I are super excited.  We got free advertising!  And we love the attention Anvil is getting AND and our business!  The article was very nicely written.  Who wouldn't want to meet this big ol' beautiful gorilla?

Gracie spent the evening at the spa.  She is smelling wonderful and looks beautiful!  Her groomers suggested I get a second opinion on the lumps on her rump.  So I will be calling the vet tomorrow.

This morning...  before her spa day
