I love them both to bits and looking at the pics always makes me homesick...my brother wasn't there he was away for the weekend camping...hubby and son went deep sea fishing yesterday so True Beauty and I spent the afternoon by the pool and then went and grabbed a pizza...you can barely see where the dog got her lip now..thank god....all in all it was a great weekend...

A pool party and no swim suit??? I would have had one for sure! At the end of this month our weather will be warm enough to have pools around here open. I am looking forward to it. Happy Birthday to your Dad. They both look good to me. It's wonderful that he is in good health. That is a blessing.

The sight of me in a swimsuit - your guests would all run and hide!
Wooly mammoths would look better.

Hey there...well truthfully they probably all just wanted to to drink and talk and not swim...but I'd have brought my suit! lol I like to float in the water on a noodle thingie and read a book! lol lol

Oh, I didn't really post this in my blog, but we were luck enough that George's parents paid off our mortgage but then when the house sells we have to pay them back.
They are realtors too and wanted us to have this house we were in. I suppose we'd have not been able to get it with ours not selling so I'm glad that they did this for us. I'm hoping it sells though. It worries me to have their money on hold in case something happens and they need it, ya know.

But no we haven't had two mortgages...just have had to pay utilities and that is not too much.

Send some sunshine up here will ya. Have a good week. And Happy Birthday to your Dad.
