Memorial Weekend Hodge-podge

It is Monday evening and I am wishing I didn't have to go to work tomorrow. These long weekends are always too short! We didn't do anything spectacular. Just hung out and did our usual gig.....clean, garden, shop, etc. We did meet our friends Mark and Meagan for dinner and a movie on Saturday night. We hadn't been to the movies in a while so it was great to get back to the theater. The price went up to 10.00!! Good grief! (Saw the new Indiana Jones flick...it was good but not awesome). Gabe was a good husband and accompanied me on a clothes shopping excursion for my upcoming business trip for which I needed to buy a suit. Mission accomplished and it only took 1.5 hours, so it wasn't quite torture for Gabe :) Sunday we stayed home and cleaned the house and worked on the yard in preparation for a small BBQ soiree we had today.

During the weekend, we had a few kodak moments that we thought would be great to share on the blog with you all. So here is a random glimpse...

Here is Angel with her new 'Summer Look'
Had a large turtle cross the yard Friday. Cookie didn't know what to think. You can barely see the turtle, but he was a big as a dinner plate.
Gabe put up these bird feeders a few weeks ago, and since then we have been amazed at all different species of local birds that have dropped by for a bite to eat. Here is a great pic that Gabe took of a cardinal.Brody loves the bird feeder too :)

An early b-day present from my Mommy. A hand-made Afgani carpet she lugged back from Saudi. Go mom! :)
Another view....It matches perfectly.This was taken today. Barbie, Chris and their two sons came out, as well as Mark and Meagan. It rained most of the day, but the sun came out and gave us just enough time for Zachary to take a ride on our tractor. Great pic of father and son gittin' 'er done! Some cute video of Zach's big ride...
