Hi Friends!

Okay, okay ... I'm back. It's been crazy the past few weeks and I haven't gotten the chance to write down all of my funny. I apologize, because -- well, I've been holding out on you. There is quite a lot to talk about.

First and foremost on the FUNNY front. My official license plate for the scooter (Clementine) came in last week. I'll have to load up a picture of it, but it does say FUNNY, and it's tiny. I'm serious. The best part is when people comment on it. They can't help but say "that's so funny" and then they realize what they've said and sheepishly grin. It's great.

My proudest moments over the last few weeks were watching Amy learn to wakeboard. She was the most patient student we've had on the boat yet. She just kept on smiling and trying until she got it, and then SHE REALLY GOT IT. She just rode behind the boat forever. Perfect position and everything. The only pictures I have are from AP's camera phone, but here she is in all her perfection, we are so proud:

Speaking of cameras, the repair place that Kodak had me use is sending mine back to me this week. Thank goodness. They've had it for 6 weeks. 6 weeks that I could have really been taking some good pictures.

We went camping with the ATeam last weekend. It was a riot! We were at the Pigman farm in Kentucky. The Pigmans love poodles (there were 4 poodles camping with us). We brought Riley, but not Tucker. We were afraid that being in the pond and wilderness would irritate his skin and cause another dreadful hot spot, and then initiate the return of the cone. No thank you. Here are all the dogs camping with Dr.Liz (there were 7 in all):
Me and Amy by the fire:

Here are Dr.Jeff and AP sitting by a beautiful fire:
And then, Dr.Jeff went crazy, and thought that he could wrestle AP, here are the results:
Hiking the next day:


We had fun swimming in the pond, and camping under the stars:
Of course, Riley had fun swimming, too:Also, I love tiny houses. I did not know this about myself until recently. There are many tiny house companies in America. I mean really, who needs all of this space anyway? Check out this cutie:

I could look at them for hours. And, anything in its smaller version is CUTE!
