Lost

All right for all you Lost fans, the two hour season finale, which I hope you saw, was awesome! Questions from this season were finally answered, but as always in the end we were left with more questions. John Locke is Jeremy Bentham! Who knew? And, now Jack must get all 6 back to the Island. How will he convince them, where is the Island now and how will they get back??? We knew Ben got off the Island, remember he was in the desert wearing that Jacket. Did the people on the life boat make it to the freighter before the bomb detonated or were they heading back to the Island and made it before it was moved??

Mitch and I can't wait until next season starts!! This has got to be one of the best shows on TV.

Happy Memorial Day

Ahh...Serenity. We celebrated Memorial Day with our good friends Ernie and Deb. We headed out to Oakencroft Winery in Charlottesville. They are celebrating their 25th year. The drive was very relaxing. Sitting by the pond with the breeze blowing, band playing and a glass of wine in our hands was serenity. Oakencroft is a beautiful winery. If you have never visited, I would suggest you take a trip. Mitch and I don't really care much for their wine so we brought our own.

Mitch and I enjoying our wine.
This couple decided to sit on the other side of the pond away from everyone else. I guess they would rather be by the geese than the people. Maybe they are just old and set in their ways. Or maybe they enjoy people watching and figured they had the best seat in the house to do that. :)And, here are our very good friends Ernie and Deb enjoying the festival.

We hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day.

A Prayer for our troops.

Gracious God, I ask that your hand of protection be on all those who are serving our country. It is hard to endure the separation from the ones we love and our hearts feel ragged with worry at times because of the danger they might be in. While our hearts are filled with deep love, our love alone cannot bring them back to us safely. So, I pray that you will do for them what we are unable to do. I pray also that when they are troubled by fear, confusion, loneliness, and doubt that you will wrap them in your embrace until the time of turbulence has passed. May your love bring them peace and strength and the certainty of knowing they are loved. I ask this in your name. Amen.

Susie Q

I got up early on Saturday and met the hauler to pick up our foster dog Susie (M's Foxy Susie). She is 3 1/2 and is a sweetheart. She will be staying with us until she finds a home. This should not take long. Just look at her sweet face. How could you not want to take her home with you? She is very easy going and a quick learner. She has already mastered the stairs and has had no potty accidents in the house. Whoo hooo!! That makes our lives sooo much easier! She slept through the night too!! She is curious about the cat, but we are working with her on this. She has some weight to gain also. It was a beautiful day today. The kids enjoyed the nice warm weather. It was a little hot this afternoon so they found the one spot of shade in the yard.

Of course the majority of the time Cueball spent working on his tan.
I was not up to anything mommy. I swear....I was not digging a hole in the yard.
The kids did run for a little bit. Booyah shows how graceful he is. What a handsome boy he is.
Maggie would rather play with her new stuffie first.
And then run later. She likes to give the boys a head start. The fun part for her is the chase.
Here's my sweet girl enjoying the sun. She is my heart. :)

The kids and I had a very nice weekend. Mitch and I are heading out to Oakencroft Winery in the morning. We don't particularly care for their wine. We are going so that we can spend time with some good friends and to enjoy the atmosphere. It is a beautiful winery, but we are bringing our own wine.

Hope everyone has a Happy Memorial Day!!

Bunny

We have been seeing a lot of bunnies in our yard this year. They are pretty neat to watch. I would rather see them in the front yard then in the back. :)

The kids would disagree, but at least they can watch them from the kitchen window.
