Slow News Week...

Sorry I did not update the blog sooner, but I have not taken any pictures lately other than Don barbequing the other night. It rained the entire weekend of Memorial Day and we just ran errands and hung around the house. The weather has been nice so far this week so Don has decided to go fishing tomorrow - I'll let you know how that works out for him!
One day they'll have a smlog and you'll be able to smell how delicious the aroma was in the yard.
How many times have we seen those dogs waiting patiently for a scrap. Don gives them little tidbits as he cooks and then they get a bone or two while we eat.
And last but not least, it's you know who suffering from a steak bone hangover...

A Busy Week!

Saturday we spent the afternoon celebrating Evelyn Trahan's graduation from Tulane University with a Bachelor of Science Degree cum laude!! Evelyn's sister Helen and I went to Kindergarten together and have remained friends through the years. Congratulations Evelyn. Their next family milestone is set for next May when Helen and her fiance Steve get married in Hawaii!!
Heading out to try his hand again at fishing. This time he had better luck and caught a few trout - he was happy about that!.
Emma, Don, and Hooch relaxing together.

Fishing with the Family

Don, Ashley, and Douglas set out Wednesday morning for a day of fishing, the kids were hooking up the boat, he could just sit in the car with the A/C running and wait while they took care of it!

Well, we all know who doesn't have any patience. It wasn't long before he was out of the car sportin' that Unhappy Face! Whew, I'm glad he's looking at them and not me! And he only thought he was unhappy at 7:00 AM. He was certain about when he fished for six hours and caught NOTHING! I'm glad I was at work, I bet that wasn't a pleasant trip.
In case you didn't get a good look, here's a close up - Mr. Un-happ-ee! You see why I was glad he wasn't lookin' at me?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Tomorrow my mother and sisters will be over to relax, barbeque and enjoy Mother's Day. I am so thankful we can all be together for this celebration. I hope everyone has a Blessed Mother's Day.

He's ALWAYS Available for a Photo....

Don has been very camera shy lately so I haven't posted many photos of him. Unlike Don, Hooch is always willing to pose for the camera. I took this photo this morning as he did his favorite thing, watching me put on my makeup. He was actually closer than this, but I had to push him back a little to allow the camera to focus. Drew said he is getting an apartment soon...I told him to make sure they allow PETS...I'll gladly pay the damage deposit!!
Don didn't gripe about me taking this picture because of those little eyes peeking up over the table. He could not believe that Hooch wanted watermelon and refused to give it to him because Don thought Hooch would spit it out. Hmmmm, not likely. So far, the only food item he has refused is a banana...the watermelon was gone in a flash!

16 Years and Holding...

Well, I finally did it - after 16 years driving the Suburban, I agreed to buy a new car. Once I said I would do it, Don would not let me go back on my word...I tried and tried, but he held fast and said we were doing it, so we did. I would not, however, agree to sell the Suburban...yet! Now, if only he would agree to build a house on the lot were this new car is parked!!!!

You'll Have to Take My Word For It...

Today Don spent the day sailing on Lake Pontchartrain, but you'll have to take my word for it because he would not bring the camera!!! He went with my cousin, Robbie, and two of Robbie's friends, Rob and Don. So, there were four men on board, but only two names between them, Rob and Don. They sailed from the northshore to the southshore, about 26 miles at about 7 - 8 miles or rather knots per hour. He had a good time, but said he would much rather a boat with a motor. And anyone of you who has spent any time around Don and a boat, knows that what his father said years ago is still true..."Donnie's boats have two speeds, wide open and stop." Sailing might just be a little too calm for him, not to mention the fact that he's a little seasick!!!
