Adrienne's Matron of Honor--Courtney--her sister, gave her a Bridal Tea on Sunday. Courtney really went all out! I think she should open up her own tea room. A received some lovely gifts, she is very excited about the wedding and the new home! Haley joined us after a little nap. She is quite the social butterfly. 
Well, my first bumper crop of Banannas are starting to produce. This is the first bloom to open and you can see the bunch has more than 6 "fingers".
Loki and Boda came down to help guard the pool. they love to round around the pool and snap at the water. So far, neither of them have jumped in, but we did throw Boda in the other day and she safely swam to the side steps and promptly got out.
I am trying to teach the girls pool duties, so they will take care of the pool in my old age. Sophia is becoming very adept at netting leaves from the
pool, I even bought the girls their own child size net, which they fight over.
This being my first time for a shuttle
launch, Ididn't know what to expect. Dick and I were watching it on TV, then I thought I wonder if we can see it from the Yard? I went out and could see it relly clear, it was amazing! So I ran back in and grabbed my camera, and got these shots as it was going out of sight. We are maybe 30+ miles North of Titusville/Cape Canaveral, so we could actually see the shuttle from my front yard. I never imagined I would be able to see it so clearly, or I would have planned to be outside with my camera in my handwhen the countdown started. Next Time!
Mike and Melissa hosting a Pool Party on the 5th day of my recovery.
I believe everyone had a good time.
The kids loved the hot dogs and corn-on-the-cob. the Adults were treated to some delicious chicken prepared by Mike/Melissa. They are spending alot of time watching the "Food Channel", and you can tell by the yummy meals!
The kids had a great time in the pool. We had some new friends with their 2 boys...Chris and John.
And of course we had Dora as our lifeguard!
Sandy arrived just in time to help me thru the worst day of my pneumonia. She flew in on a Sunday night , we laid around the pool all day on Monday. Tuesday we went to the Beach, and tried to wear the girls out so they would take a 3 hour nap. As you can see they were hot and miserable in my back seat. I convinced Sandy it was OK to walk into 7-11 without a "Coverup", as you can see she was quite daring! Anyway later that afternoon, I made a trip to the Quick Treatment Center where I was diagnosed with Pneumonia(for the 2nd time sine March).
Anyway, I got my antibiotics and other cough/conqestin medicine, and went home to have Sandy cook me a nice dinner. I need to have guest like her more often. So by the time the 6 pills were taken in 6 days, I was feeling better.
