Before & After

It's amazing what a groomer can do!  Here is little Riley befoer she went:

She was looking a little scruffy and had a bouffant thing going at the top of her head. 

Here are the after pictures.  We especially love her patriotic bandana!  The groomers loved Riley so much they didn't want her to leave.  What a charmer.

Good Times with the Fam & Adios Summer....

It's official.  Summer has come to an end.  The school children of Charlotte are back in full swing and so are we.  We kissed the summer goodbye with a fabulous weekend visit from the Rineharts.  We were especially glad that Michael's Grandmom was able to make the trip.  We had our handy man "to do" list for John, so he and Michael were busy much of the weekend. Riley now has fabulous flood lights to light her way (motion sensored!) when she needs to go outside at night.   All in all, it was a great time. 



Sally spoiled Riley with lots of love, toys, and treats.  Riley was very sad to see her go.  

Life just hasn't been the same for Riley since Sally left.  Come back soon!

In other news, my weekend reunion with the DC girls in Cape Cod is off because Meaghan fell and broke her leg yesterday.  Keep her in your prayers.

Weekend with Dad

Dad came down from New Jersey for a weekend in the warm south.  On Saturday we drove to the quaint town of Blowing Rock, North Carolina.  A few miles down the road was Boone, home of Appalachian State.   


Go Mountaineers.
Today we had brunch on Lake Wylie.   Good times.  As always, the weekend went too fast and it was sad to see Dad go.
