Happy Father's Day - June 20

Happy Fathers Day Carlie! Carl has been apart of our family for over 20 years now. Wow - time passes by quickly! I still miss my dad being around, but I'm very lucky that he came into our lives. He has given me lots of support over the years - through good times and bad. I love you Carlie pants :-)

Grown Ups - June 19

Wanda & Sam had a cookout for Amber's graduation party tonight. It was great because I got to see pretty much all my family members. But, I also got to see some faces I had not seen a quite a while. This is Kevin and his little boy. The first time I met Kevin he was about 8 years old. I cannot believe he is old enough to have a little one of his own of the same age (almost).

Formal Attire - June 18

No, I'm not a crazy cat lady and I did not buy these things for my cats. Somebody else bought them for her cats and loaned them to me. So, I had to put them on the boys and see how they look. Aren't they just adorable? Mac is saying "OK Mom, take the picture so I can take this silly thing off my neck" and JJ is saying "All the other kitties are going to be laughing at me Mom".

Graduation - June 17

My niece Amber graduated from college today. She not only graduated, but did while battling Ulcerative Colitis. While we are all very happy & proud of her, we are happiest that they just declared her to be in remission. Now, all she has to do is pass her registry test and then start looking for a job. Congrats Amber!

Annoying Neighbors - June 16

When you go to ball games or anything else that requires a reserved seat, you are at the mercy of the ticket gods on who is seated next to you. Sometimes they are really cool hot guys (which almost never happens) or it could be the really annoying person. They could be annoying because they take up some of "your" space, rooting for the other team or a million other possibilities. Poor Phyllis, she had the annoying neighbor that was "hoping" to strike up a conversation with her with the occasion look. I think he had taken a fancy to her myself. But, in the end she did a pretty good job of avoiding the awkward conversation.

U.S. Flag - June 15

Yesterday was Flag Day and I admittedly did not own a flag. So, I went out and purchased this small version. I think regardless if its the official size, it still has the same meaning.

HotLanta - June 14

Now this is the real Hotlanta. Not that crazy 20-30 degree weather we had this past winter. The crazy thing is that this picture was taken around 630pm. Now, granted it might be a little exaggerated, but regardless it was HOT. Not to mention it is only June 14. Don't they say the dog days of summer are in August?
