A Day on the Lake

Ruby, my sweet little demonic dog loved the water!
Ernie and Ruby, they are suppose to be the same breed. Not sure what happened there, but oh how wonderful they both are!
Ernie, our sweet problem child
Ruby, always ready for an adventure!
Mother Nature gifted me with a site so awesome I could have watched this eagle all day, but he had other ideas and flew the coop!

Mark and I spent the day on a lake in Virginia with some friends, we docked the boat and hung out on a little island, ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, doritios, and trail mix! Watched our dogs play and saw some really LARGE birds!

With the boys older and doing their own things, we seem to be left to amuse ourselves these days, good thing we still like each other!

What I have been up to

Molly died 3 weeks ago today, life is different without the pitter patter of her nails on the hardwoods. I believe she is with me, I have had visits from wildlife I have never seen in our garden. I feel as if it is Molly sending me things she knows will make me smile! A tree frog on our window!
Friends from very far away came to pay me a visit! Debbie and Rachel from NY, Sue and Millie from Australia! Thank you Ladies you brightened my weekend!
I made this delicious potato leek pizza from a new cookbook! Pioneer Woman Cooks! Buy it of visit her blog www.pioneerwoman.com! Most excellent!
Another sweet creature was in our backyard! Ernie thought it was a moving rock, I rescued him from Ernie's curiosity and then let him free in a safer area! Molly knew I wanted a turtle!
This is one of my last moments with Molly before she went to the rainbow bridge.

Each day I heal a little more, each day I try to find something sweet to make me smile, each day mother nature (and Molly) give me some sort of happiness.
