I had Friday off, giving me a long weekend, which is a rarity in the summer months. We had nice, hot, sunny days which were perfect for lazing around by the pool.
Our friends came over Friday and Saturday with their new puppy, Goldie, who is a 10 week old yellow labrador retriever. He is very cute and looking at his ears and paws you can see how big he is going to get. Apparently, having a puppy is much like having a baby. He is up a lot at night, needs tons of attention, and chews on everything. I am so not going there.
After hanging out around the pool all day I fired up the grill and cooked some delicious chicken/basil/mozzerella sausages, and we had our first corn on the cob of the year. We capped things off with a succulently sweet watermelon; which the kids wore about as much as they ate. They also had a seed spitting contest (but not many seeds in a seedless watermelon). Alex went on an overnight with his friend and slept out in the backyard in a tent.
Sunday was spent doing the enevitable yard work; which is rewarding but back breaking. The pool beckoned this afternoon, and with the kids elsewhere, mom and dad had a peaceful hour floating around with a cold drink and chatting happily.
