Weekend wrap-up
Getting ready to go to bed after a busy three-day weekend. We swam every day, which was great. Today Kevin and I took Socks for a walk just before the parade kicked off, and I decided we’d walk to Library Park, since the parade route goes around the park. I figured it would give us … Continue reading

More swimming
I wasn’t sure we’d get any swimming in at all today. The storm heading toward us was huge, and the sky looked pretty threatening, but it must have all went around us, or dissipated, because we ended up not seeing a drop of rain, and all the lawns remain brown. Kinda looks like Arizona around … Continue reading
Early start to the weekend
This morning I shared the link to my Achmed and Walter photo album from our spring break vacation with Jeff Dunham’s Facebook page this morning. His site asked for the best road trip photos, and the winner with the best photo will be named Dunham Maniac of the Week and will be featured on his … Continue reading
My Birthday
Everyone wants to know if I had a nice birthday. At this point, I don’t know why you’re supposed to celebrate getting another year older… maybe you’re supposed to be glad that you’ve managed to survive this long. Believe me, I am. I’m 49–or as Mark says, “older than dirt”. Everyone says that about their … Continue reading
Kevin’s 13th Birthday
We celebrated Kevin’s birthday on Sunday with a Pool Party at Best Western Harborside. Everyone had a great time, especially those that swam! The kids really wore me out in the water. Here’s a ton of photos we took.
Happy Labor Day…without the Labor!
I just realized, looking back on our summer this morning, that I haven’t posted any swimming photos this summer, except the tiny one of Ty diving in on opening day. So I went back and dug up the only few I took this summer–from July 4th. There’s seven of them, so I uploaded them to … Continue reading
Father’s Day 2006
This Father’s Day was a little messed up for me. I worked Saturday night, and got probably less than an hour or two of sleep before our cookout. So I was a little drained, to say the least. It was a great get-together though, despite the bad weather. We spent the day at Rosemary’s, swam, … Continue reading
Old Car Lovers Show
Kevin and I walked over to the car show at Baker Park yesterday morning. Take a look at the photo highlights. Kevin seemed pretty much disinterested, however. He seemed to be just tagging along, not thrilled at all by all the old cars, except a slight perk-up when he spotted a bright yellow one (his … Continue reading
Stray dogs
We went to Rec-Plex this evening to swim. Had a great time too, but before we left there were a couple of stray dogs wandering around the neighborhood. A neighbor called us and asked if they were ours, since one of them appeared to be a chihuahua and both of them were relatively small. Peanut … Continue reading
A day at Beth’s
Kevin and I spent the day at my sister Beth’s new house today. She has a nice big pool in her new backyard (along with a lot of bugs). Kevin and I had a great time, did a lot of swimming and had lunch. I should have photos posted soon. For now though, I have … Continue reading
Waterboy
We went to Rec-Plex tonight, and Kevin took a major step forward in his swimming abilities. Since he began swimming he was always afraid to put his head under water. He’d get very upset if you dunked him, even if by accident and even if only for a short moment. Tonight he took the plunge … Continue reading
Stairmaster Swimming
Kev and I went swimming last night. Rec-Plex is amazingly uncrowded this time of year. Everyone must be doing outdoor activities instead. It was good to get back to it though. We love swimming, so I always try to go at least a few times a week but with the leg problems I’ve been having, … Continue reading
Swimming and Nemo
Kev and I went swimming last night at Rec-Plex. Three hikes to the top of the waterslide, 10 laps in the current channel (against the current) and a 15-minute hot tub and I was beat. Kev just wanted to keep going and going though. Afterward I offered Kevin a reward for good behavior. He wanted … Continue reading
