kicking off the summer!

WOOHOOO!!! Its memorial day weekend. I couldnt be happier! I LOVE SUMMER!

Looking forward to long weekends and warm sunny days at the beach! Starting TOMORROW! We'll be picnicing at the lake. I have a lot of work to do tonight so that we can go to the lake early and spend the whole day. My hubby doesnt really want to go, but its just down the road, so I figure he can stay home and show up to cook and eat! Such a party pooper! Once he gets there though, he'll be happy to be there. Its so relaxing.

Lets see, we'll be having, zwiegles hots (and cheddarworst for my friend Torrey!) And I'll be making strawberry jello pretzel dessert, brocoli salad, tossed salad, deviled eggs and baked beans, plus whatever anyone else decides to bring! I decided to do our picnic cookout tomorrow instead of monday cause the weather is supposed to be beautiful tomorrow. monday it could rain in the afternoon. i thought we can still cook out at home on monday if the weather cooperates.

Tonight I'm going to make my salads and pretzel dessert. But first I'm heading out for a bike ride! I love riding my bike.. I had thought I was riding two miles but my daughter clocked it for me and I was going a little over 3. This morning I up'd it to 5 or maybe even a little more. but thats where I'm heading out too soon!

Do you just love these little dolls? They're made by "vintage by crystal" I just love them. I think I'm going to have to have a whole collection of them!

And, how about these two cuties!! they are the sweetest little pumpkin heads ever! and look at frannies growing belly! I figure in about two weeks we should have another big litter! SO Excited!! I wonder if Figgy will be father of the year again???

I'm reallly excited about next weekend.. Its our Niagara sisters retreat!

and I only have to work 3 days this week.. off monday and friday! But I still have to work on my special swap piece to take with me!

Ok.. my bike is calling to me before it gets dark out! If I get all my work done tonight, I'll be back to do some blog hopping! see yas later!!!
