This weekend we went boating down the St. Croix river with our friends on their boat. It was hot, but nowhere near the 100+ degrees it was a week or so ago! Got some fun and sun in!

Here I am beachin' :)














And here are the guys "hangin out" (no pun intended!) ;)





















Have a great week!!

Bunny Update

The bunnies are still here. They moved around the corner of the house and found a new home under the house. I'll have pics to upload later!

Race Weekend

Mike and I went to Grand Forks this weekend for a sprint car race. It was a hot, cold, wet, dusty weekend :) Here's a photo I took of of the cars coming around the track.

Bunny update

The bunnies have grown so much over the last week. These are the most recent - and probably the last - photos of them. They finally left their nest last night, and this morning they were gone. If you click on these photos you can see them bigger - the one on the left is from Tuesday...the batch of them napping. The one on the right is from last night - one bunny still in the confines of the garden bed, and the other is just outside of it, in the rocks.


We hated to see them go, but nature will take its course. It's just as well with us since we will be in Grand Forks this weekend and not able to keep much of a close eye on them.

Have a great weekend!!!

Family Reunion scrap

Here's another scrapbook page I made for a challenge we are working on at DSP. This one isn't due until Thursday, but I liked it so much I decided to do a sneak preview here until I can upload it.

These are some of the best shots I took when my Mom met her new family in Michigan in 2000. The bottom picture of my mom with the rose her sisters brought her is cut off because that's the way the photo came out - but at an angle - so I had to straighten and crop it...and was pretty pleased with the result. I love this picture of my mom...she just looks so happy here!!!

Bunnies and Fireworks

I went out to water my mums on Friday - and AFTER I was done watering, I found these:
Baby bunnies!! Well....here they kinda look like drowned rats. They are only a few days old here - their eyes weren't even open the first day I found them. The only reason I was able to spot them was because - bad me - I must have filled their nest with water so they had to stick their little heads out to breathe. Fortunately (or not - depends on your point of view) - they all made it. So I've been careful watering now. They had their eyes open Saturday and are getting bigger already. So far I've counted three for sure and maybe four.

On Saturday, we went to Taste of Minnesota in St. Paul. In addition to tons of junk food (including roasted corn, ribs, gyros, shrimp-on-a-stick and spiral spuds), there was live music (they have three stages) - we saw Los Lonely Boys (pretty good band, we saw them with Santana last year) and The Association (do NOT pay money to go see them - ever! They can still sing the songs, but believe me...they do NOT sound the same! LOL)
Finished off with fireworks - here's one of the shots I took.

No huge plans for the fourth here....working today, and planning on going to the lake in Bloomington tonight to see our city's fireworks display. Hope you all are having fun and have a safe and happy Holiday!!!
