my cupcake with a sparkle candle

my "friends" fulfilled my request for "no birthday cake...just a cupcake". I have very clever friends....that I love & they know me too well.

Don has a new car....well, it's a "new to Don" car really. He loves it and now we need a bigger garage. (Yep, found it on Craigslist.)

oh it's late & the wine is flowing but he's still playing

Chicago Trip

Benee, Bobby, me and Don at the Navy pier in Chicago. Below are some pictures of us around town. We'll post more soon. We're having a blast in the Windy City!

Bobby waving in front of the bean. Do you see his reflection? Can you find Don in the bean? (Hint - he has on a white shirt, tan shorts and is holding his camera.)



The bean at Millennium Park.



Yummy...famous Chicago-dogs, with chili and cheese. (Hey - we're on vacation!)


Wendy being a pirate.


Benee's turn at playing pirate.

This is a practice shot from today. Just a little trial and error.

Happy 4th of July. We are back home after spending the weekend on the Intercoastal. Just some relaxing time with friends and family.

Marcy came out to visit and we spent some time walking around the Rice Quarters property and watching Benee's dogs play in the mud.
