In Case You've Not Noticed

The Rag-Weed is in full bloom! Those who have allergic reactions to ragweed have no doubt noticed! In spite of the fact that Dennis is allergic to it, I still think it's a beautiful weed.
The woolly worms are running about 80% very dark. And, I have also been noticing that they are mostly moving from west to east. Now, what does this mean? Absolutely nothing! I just wanted to beat Heidi in posting that observation! Ha! Of course, it just might mean that winter is coming, the heating bills will be higher, and spring won't get her until March 21, 2008. I had planned to stop and get a photo of one of those woolly wigglers, but I'm afraid I squashed him with my big yellow bus tires. If I find one willing to pose for a picture, I'll certainly add it to this post.


WELL....HERE is the promised photo...such as it is:

Happy Birthday Dennis! And Lynn Too!

Yes! Today is a big one for Dennis! He'll never be 50 anything again. The year we were married, Dennis turned 24 and Lynn turned 12 on the same day. That was the one and only time Dennis would ever be twice as old as my brother. So happy birthday to both Dennis, and Lynn!
Well, we had a wonderful (but short) weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks. We arrived on Friday night well after dark.
Glen and Suzy welcomed us into their home and we so enjoyed their hospitality! After a "tour" of their gorgeous home, they took us boating on the lake. It was fabulous. Actually the word most accurately describing the whole experience....fabulous!
We stayed up way late Friday, sitting on the lakeside deck just visiting and enjoying the cool night, the moonlight, and stars. Saturday morning we watched the sun rise from the middle deck. The steam was rising from the water. It was beautiful. Saturday morning we rode Sea-Doos and played in the water for a while. Then we met Katie and Michelle with Jade and Lane at Tupelo Honey's for brunch. Mmmm! Delicious! After eating, we went to see the other properties and went for a pontoon boat ride. I can't tell everything, so will try to let my pictures do the talking. I have never figured out how to add these pictures in a particular order so, here they are....however they load up is the way they'll be! As I said before, it was a great time, and Suzy and Glen, if you're reading this...Thanks SO MUCH for having us!
