there’s a huge backlog of photos somehow – partly because kevin has been taking pictures and i haven’t ever downloaded them, partly because i’ve been so busy outside.  but here’s the beginning of a bunch of different things –

first, amy and jim’s sweet doggies, resting nicely while kevin and i were at pere marquette last weekend.

it was jim’s birthday last saturday, and here he is eating chocolate peanut butter ice cream with homemade pound cake for breakfast.  mmmm, sounds like breakfast of champions to me!

gerrick and mollie on our hike, probably after i lost my damn sunglasses.

this goes waaay back, to my birthday last month…erica didn’t join us for dinner, but she did stop by after doing the GHOST WALK downtown.  we have to see her doing that some night.  she looked so cute!

kevin bought me a FABULOUS ORANGE DRESS, which you’ve already seen in that photo with the infamous captain jack sparrow at fort de chartres.

randy got me this huge lighted palm tree, to help me achieve the perfect party deck.

this is the new landscaping i did…

it just needs a few more flowers now.

and this is what remains of jim’s willow tree, eaten by a very busy beaver.

Les Paul, who continues to enjoy his hot tub room existence.

that’s all for a beautiful monday night…

ok then,

mrs. summertime hughes.
