Happy Sunday

It was a great weekend!!! I love weekends where I feel like I have gotten things accomplished and also have had some time to relax. Let me tell you, relax I did…Thanks to BFFH. I probably would have been running around doing a million things if it weren’t for her. We were talking and I mentioned that I would be going to Mom and Dad’s on Sunday and invited her along. M&D live on a great little lake that is only about an hour and a half away. It is the perfect get away. Anyway, much like myself, BFFH works quite a bit with little free time. It was really a fluke that we had time off at the same time. So, as we were talking about it she mentioned that she hadn’t had a summer vacation, so this would be it. This one day at the lake = summer vacation. That made it BFFH’s day! I love to celebrate days like that.

We took a boat ride, went swimming, relaxed, had a shrimp boil, ate burgers from a little 50’s joint and basically taught the dog how to swim (that was more of a task than one might think). All in all it was a very relaxing day in the sun.

We have had a little trouble getting the dog to swim. He is a bulldog with a stocky body and short legs, and let’s face it, bulldogs sink. So, he wears a life jacket when he goes by the water. Given the fact that he is wearing a life jacket, he should be able to swim. Dad built him a ramp to get in and out of the water. He was so cute. He kept walking down the ramp and getting his feet wet then running back up. He actually got in the water a few times and was quite proficient at scratching Sis and I up while trying to drown us.

Speaking of that… I look like a tomato. Yes, sun screen would have been a great idea, but here is a tip for all of you out there that have sunburns. Emu oil is great stuff for sunburns.

Thanks M&D for a great summer vacation!
