 We start on Friday 10- an actual day off...

After a morning relaxing, we go out in the afternoon...

...and I swiftly discover might be a bit windy for Floppy Hat

And, thar she goes

VARMINTAGE

Uh-oh...

The look of a dog going full speed draggin' a 175 lb man behind her

"Drat!"

Raspberries blooming!  Won't be long...

Wild grape clusters, too

Him and his mate soaring over the hidden trail

Can she find it THIS overgrown?

Answer: No....

Meanwhile, at the duck pond

Vamintage, but out of sight

Still no shore for Daddy

Duck Pond, extended

Caught him swimming in South Canal

Saturday, AKA Laurie's birthday...

The thought process was, dinner and a beer at 2 Toms brewery

But, while the beer was here...

...food was not.  Somebody needs to update their website!!!

After I had a couple to be neighborly, we adjourned to BJs for beer AND food.  (Strangely enough, 2 Toms, the combination draws a LOT more people!)  Laurie goes on to do some birthday shopping...

...at some point, I may have napped in the car...

Then, the kids gathered for Laurie's birthday and Mother's Day...

So proud of my daughter misspelling my name

And finally, a noisy meet-n-greet with Snickers and his Mom

And Sunday....

Socceristas everywhere

Yard chair with shocks, whatta concept

She can still find our way to the woods shortcut

Of course, a cricket match

"But I wanted to check the canal for varmints..."

Sigh, the dam's apparently shut- again....

Real-time capture of a cardinal fight

The winnah

And far below...
