WTF?

I am very fond of the saying, WTF. I know I have a potty mouth but sometimes there is no other appropriate phrase that fits the situation. We were out of town last week celebrating our anniversary ... 15 yrs! woot woot. We came home to these lovelies (not!) on our completely private back deck (you know, the deck that is rotting away) ...





Creepy, right? There were four of them made to look like they were walking out my French doors to the deck. (Sorry, my photos are not loading correctly).




I thought it was the cleaning gals ... no dice ... and I am quite sure they think I am insane as they kept asking, "What do you mean? Shoes with flowers?"

I know it was you Cupcake. And just because my deck is rotting, does not mean I also need Ms. Phoenix's rotting shoes out there as well. We do have some standards. And oh ... that's right ... you are leaving to Hawaii soon ... hummmm

Bambi

A few weeks ago we went boating with our good friends Isha and Back-to-Back Jack (looongg story on his nickname). We were leisurely motoring along the river when we spotted a "dog" on the island. Worried that the "dog" was stranded, we inched closer for a look.

Oopsie ...









Awwwwww, aren't they ADORABLE?? Come to mama ... ewwww ... wait. I was talking about the deer. Nevermind.

The Lake

We are lucky to know friends who live on a lake. They invited us to a relaxing Saturday morning on their boat .... complete with mimosas! Every Saturday should be as swanky as this. Thanks friends for a great day!

SUNflowers

Friday, we hosted a dinner party for our dear friends visiting from Phoenix. No one likes 115 degrees in July so they escape each summer to the Northwest. Ms. Phoenix lovvvess lemons so the menu centered on them. I made this recipe and a tasty lemon tart for dessert.





We are lucky to have such great people in our life.
