Happy Father's Day

It's Father's Day and we celebrated some of the Dads in our life by giving them a day to soak in the pool with cool libations while I helped my friend Debi cook up a feast and kept their drinks fresh.

I so enjoyed spending time with her family and getting my "kiddle fix" from watching her neice's two little ones have such a great time in the pool. The are exactly the same age as our daughter's children and, since they've moved to Austin, TX, I miss them so.

The Party's Over - Let's Just Kiss & Say Goodbye

The guests have gone and it's time to load up our belongings and head back to face the real world. We had fun while it lasted, even if work did make it's way in to put a damper on my emotions at times. I feel so grateful and blessed that we were able to have this opportunity again this year and to be able to share it with some of our friends that we don't get to socialize with outside of the norm. If the Lord sees fit, we'll be back next year. But if not, we have plenty of great memories to hold on to and relive.

Soaking Up One Last Day

It's the last day of our vacation and we decided to take it easy so we could soak up every last moment in the pool, jacuzzi & enjoy each others company in the quiet.

The OneThat Got Away - Excitement of the Day

You've heard about the one that got away? Well, this "catch" put a new spin on it. This trout may have been a keeper...we'll never know. But as Terri began reeling in her fish something grabbed it, flew out of the water and was gone with nearly half her trout. This photo isn't too good because there was quite a bit of excitement with everyone speculating just what it was that took a bite. And oh damn! Why couldn't it have gotten hooked?

Another Whopper Trout Trophy

Today's fishing trophy goes to Sadie! She was one happy girl with this big trout that was just shy of 24". Not a bad catch for a novice fisherman!

Oh Yes, It's Friday Night & The Feelin's Right!

Today a new batch of guests arrive to enjoy Memorial Day weekend with us. We never get to socialize with Brenda & Corey outside of work events and this was a great opportunity to finally do just that. Naturally, we kicked it off with our own happy hour. So....cheers! Here's to a great fun-filled sun n' fun weekend of a different kind :-)

Right Place - Right Time

I am so excited that I was able to capture this shot! I only wish I'd been closer so it could have been more focused. This dolphin was a part of a large pod that we spotted from our fishing spot. They were on a hunting expedition and after grabbing a bite a couple of them decided to put on a short show for us. I never tire of watching these beautiful creatures.
