I'm slipping

I have really slipped - it's been a long time since I posted anything. We've been busy, busy, busy! We had a graduation, two weddings, lots of cooking, a river float and lots of fun just hanging out with friends. My oldest son and my granddaughter got to come out for a week in June and it was so wonderful to have them here! The summer has been a bit cooler than in recent years, but we have had a couple of pretty good scorcher days also.

Sadly, we lost our beautiful German Shepherd Bella in June after she was hit by an ATV. The only pictures I had taken of her were just a couple of weeks before during Memorial Day weekend when she jumped up on a rock with Brandon near our camp spot. It was dusk and they aren't very good but it's all I've got. It reminded me of one important lesson - you never know when "I've got plenty of time" is going to turn into "There wasn't enough time". Every time I am near the spot where we buried her I think of it.

Note the important things in your life, document the memorable and live life so that you don't look back very often and say "There wasn't enough time."
