Desirae has been gone for two weeks at the summer camp, and Phillip's surgery went well. Grateful he is okay, School is winding down, and I am so ready for summer time and time to relax.

Mack is becoming more beautiful and he has stolen my heart. Desdemona is still my own personal favorite. I need to spend more time with the puppies.  The cats are an adventure that brings out laughter in me.

The four chickens are well, and Bob made them a moveable chicken house with a play yard.   They are red 20 week old hens.  Lenny, Squiggly, Laverene, and Shirley are their names.

First summer of my life with both of the two children gone and doing their own thing.  I have graduate school stuff to keep me busy this summer, and the Huskies are enough. Hoping to get to spend some quality time with my parents.  Looking forward to quiet time with my husband, and time to clean house.

Just enjoying summer is my greatest hope.
