Day 139

This is how Lucy rolls.  She prefers a pile of laundry that smells like Mom and Dad, to her stinky bed that smells like her!

We were just getting ready to turn out the lights tonight, and I could HEAR Lucy, but I couldn't see her.  She wasn't in one of her usual spots...then I followed the snoring and found her here, just outside the closet, next to the hamper.  Silly little dog!

Day 138

Here she is, the Bride To Be...all aglow!

Today was Billie's Bridal Luncheon, which really turned out to be somewhat of an all day affair.  First we gathered at Kim's for mimosas and a few eats to toast the bride.  Then we headed to Hot Spa Nails for pedicures all around.  Finally we ended up at Anthony's for lunch, and an intimate bridal shower of sorts.  It was low key, with just the group of us girls...friends forever, and of course Mom...because, well, she's everyone's mom and I have to say I don't mind sharing.

Day 137

It's just lil ol' me.  Most everyone who knows me knows I hate being on this side of the camera.  But every once in awhile, I get a wild hair.  Maybe I'm having a good hair day, or a good make up day, or it's just the right light, or the right angle...whatever. 

Today was one of those days.  I had just finished my hair, and was sitting in the bathroom putting on my makeup and decided to snap my own photo - truth be told to send it to Rob while he was out working.  Other than my big nose...I thought it was a decent photo of me.

Day 132

Happy Mother's Day!
I had a great day, spending the day with my mom.  After church, Rob dropped me off at her house and her and I went out and about.  Mostly we spent the day getting odds and ends taken care of for Billie's Bridal Lunch coming up this weekend.  But we also had lunch, and ran out to Christine's to visit her and Aunt Marlene.
That's where this picture was taken, just outside Christine's window along her fence line was this brave little quail...rather close to the house.  I could only get his back side of course...but you get to enjoy the view he's taking in!

Day 131

Look...aren't we cute?  And aren't they cute too??

Tonight was the Christ the King School's 5th Annual Dinner and Auction Fund Raiser.  Thanks to Jerry and Britt Han, the Huntingtons and we were invited to join them at their table.  It was a very generous offer that we gladly took them up on.  So we put on some of our best duds and headed out for dinner, and entertainment of sorts.

We had a great time, even though we threw in the towel kind of early.  Jerry and Britt had to leave due to kid troubles, and Tom and Trina had to take of to nurse Tom's post-surgery knee.  And, after having a banquet last night as well, we didn't really have our dancing shoes on...so to speak.

We are so thankful to the Hans for the invite, and hope to get together again with them, when we don't have to cut the night short!
