Some Glad Holiday




Birthday shout outs!
Kim Roepke! Enjoy the day Aaron's mom!
Dennis - You are my friend4ever. "h40bd."

Now I hope all you people out there had a real nice Memorial Day HOliday weekend. (note the way I gave HOliday a little sumpin to make it stand out..)

We enjoyed making new friends with lake neighbors Gary and Karen, hanging out with Mere and Clint (see pic above, thanks for the fishing lesson Clint!) and going to a neighborhood send off for a Lt. Colonel who will be going to Germany for two years. We have a really eclectic group of neighbors out at the lake. Some obviously used to the bruncheon cocktail hours and talk about golf and such, and others who have worked with their hands and backs all their lives who like to talk about fishin' and huntin'. But today I discovered a very common theme between all of them. They hate snakes and feel that they should be shot on sight, they hate it when the storm brings waves that steal their dirt from under their retaining walls, and they all seem to know who owns the biggest boats on the lake. We can always find commonality somehow. Dean (the cute one in the hammock) and I have alot to learn and I need to buy me a gun.

Things I Like


1. The color turqoise...oh yes, just like the color of my favorite pottery bowl that disappeared in our move TWO BLOCKS AWAY
2. Dogs, more specifically a dog of my own.. yellow lab come to mama
3. Dark chocolate with almonds
4. Pink cookies (hard to find, but when you do... (sugar high)
5. Going to Central Market with Dean for a drink or a snack or maybe even groceries
6. The Flying Fish at Preston Center... first booth on the left
7. A large unsweetened iced tea from Sonic... oh yeah, sonic ice is good and only $1 from 2-4pm
8. A really good book that is a series so you can look forward to more
9. Turqoise earrings (like the sweet ones Angie bought me but I only got to wear once and I am not pointing any fingers MJD)
10. T shirts from Old Navy... they are so soft and great to sleep in
