That dog has some cash.....

....but he pees on the trees like all the other dogs.
At the rest stop today on my way back home, I saw a dog that reminded me so much of Rocky. I knew he was a Westie, but sometimes I think Rocky had to be part Westie and Cairn? because he looked so much like a Westie.
Anyhow, the man was very nice. I just had to pet Dewars(named after the Scotch:) and say hi to the Maine Coon cat in the back of the SUV w/ PA plates.(but I was more interested in the dog)
When I asked the age of Dewars, the man said in what sounded like a British accent " he is 6, but he's not my dog, I am the butler for the family and I am driving them to Woods Hole on the Cape for the summer."
He wasn't in a suit, but in his shorts and t shirt he looked alot like actor Kevin James. He put Dewars up on an elevated giant dog cushion that had to be of the highest thread count ever. We walked into McD together, said goodbye, have a nice summer...The SUV was gone when I came out.
But about an hour and a half later...I passed the butler and his buddies further down on the highway. The butler and I waved to one another. Couldn't see Dewars or the cat because of the blacked-out windows(probably for their privacy and comfort) Maybe the family is flying in on the private jet:)))???
I love dogs...and butlers...even the rich dogs will pee on trees and the butlers of the rich dogs will use the bathroom in McD's!

Only 39 years ago......

I lived with one of these on my head.

This is James Taylor in Boston...Saturday, June 19,2010.We were lucky enough to see James Taylor and Carole King in concert at the Bushnell in Hartford in 1971.


On Saturday, it was thanks to Kelly and her ticket-ordering goddess abilities:)))

Who needs air conditioning?

When you have Turbo Tee Golf!Smart girl that Jennie!

Swing Jennie!!

She loved this!

a quick lesson

Jennie works on her swing.

Still the same day......

anyone tired yet?? a few rounds of Turbo Tee golf. The ball actually floats on air. After the kids went to bed, I played it and belted that ball down the hallway several times.
When you go to the pond after 7, the noseeums will see you........even with bug spray.....

so you head out for ice cream!:))

Where there's a will.....


there's a way for Grandma to get an ice coffee and secure it while pedaling little Mr. and Miss around town. Proud of my bike lock/cupholder combo:))

They blend in well....

with the seniors on their bus tour. Ty and Jennie were genuinely interested in the glassblowing demonstration and wanted to go back for another show!

Stop me now....

...but I stopped myself. Came very close to buying a couple of hermit crabs for the grandkids when they are here.
We'll find them at the beach and release them. That's the better way to go!

But I must say the colorful shells and cool accessories are very appealing!

2 1/2 million gallons a day.....


What did the animals do to deserve this? They are victims of man's greed:(

Practice makes.......

per....well good saves! And yipee for sippy cup tops! Grandma bought more cups AND tops today...they keep disappearing! Maggie will need them soon!

Fresh in his mind.....

are all the words from yesterday's preschool concert, that Ty enjoyed a solo run with his rendition of "Rags"...he eats so much his tummy sags, when he walks he walks zig zag:)))

Give My Regards.....

to Broadway! Nothing like an empty stage to call your own! Jennie likes to go to commercial with "I'll be right back" after performing the Thomas theme song. She repeated this about 12 times:)

Just when you think....

she's into trouble because it is too quiet, this is what you see:)
