The Cookout!

What a fun "Memorial Day" weekend - full of activities and fun for me and my BH....including a trip to Dave and Buster for those sweet and handsome Dixon grandsons of mine - Zachary and Brady - well the whole family is gorgeous - so here they are!!!

Nicole is right - Brady LOVES GAMES. Try telling a 2 year old that he has to 1) order lunch 2) wait for lunch to be served 3) eat lunch - - - BEFORE he can play the games at D & B's. Well my Sweetie had a wonderful idea - just let him sit at the game right next to our table and play on it until the food arrived. That worked! "Zachie" as Brady calls him ordered shrimp, one of his favorite things to eat. We had a great time.....those game cards kept running out, but my Sweetie kept re-activating them. He is a doll. The boys had a blast!!!

Memorial Day was a fun day....my BH had a cookout at his house! His son, Nicholas came and brought his girlfriend, Lindsay - and Nicole and Brian and all 3 kids attended as well. We had lots of great appetizers, then steak, chicken and hamburgers cooked on the grill, and some yummy yummy zuchini, yellow squash, and fresh asparagus also cooked on the grill. Wonderful red wine, and cheesecake for dessert. Everyone really enjoyed the food and the visit, it was a great time for everyone!

We have lots of "Great Memories" from this weekend!!!

The Graduate

Nick graduated last night! Woo Hoo! It was such a special night....my BH is such a proud dad (as well he should be!). Nick is a wonderful young man. He is kind, compassionate, and has a loving heart just like his dad....(he is also tall and handsome like his dad!). He has been gainfully employed and in his own apartment for almost a year now. We praise God for this awesome accomplishment. Congratulations Nick!

Bruiser the Biter

Yep - I am just as shocked as you are! My sweet little (hyper/full-of-attitude) animal bit his mommy's lip last night! Now I know how Damarys felt when Jack bit her.....thanks to you ....little "Biting Bruiser"! Thank goodness Bruiser is not Jack's size, or I'd be missing my entire upper lip!

Seems I picked the little fella up wrong - probably touching him where the Vet had injected him earlier in the day. Well in the 'blink of an eye' (or less) - he let me know how he felt about that!

I must admit, my separation anxiety about him going to doggie college this fall has lessened with this latest, shocking behavior of his.

Once a Month Blogger

Hmmm.....it is May 14th.....I am obviously not a "daily" Blogger like my Better Half is (hereafter referred to as BH)..........!!!

I enjoy reading my BH's and my Daughter's Blogs so much, that I am making a committment to Blog at least once a week!

Q4 craziness abounds at my Company......discounts keep getting higher - right along with my managers' stress levels. They are paid well, but they earn every cent for the stress they endure in this highly competitive world of Software sales.

I worry about the stress my BH lives with at his job. Even though he is used to it, I worry about him - I know he has a lot of "Politics" to deal with - and....that is "hard stuff". He handles it so well, but I still worry - stress can cause heart attacks and stroke! He is an incredibly smart man, I'm sure he'll know when it is time to do something "different"....meanwhile I'll continue to pray!
