Phelix had his very first trip to the beach. He can’t believe that such an awesome place exists and he’s never gotten to go there before now. He’s a beach bum puppy for sure!

As we wandered through our empty, brand new home, we watched the clouds blow out. No gradual thinning, just cloudy then not cloudy.

Phelix has learned a bit of elevator etiquette, but he still has a bit more to learn …. Tonight, he graduated from his puppy class!!

A lovely afternoon here in Decatur! After Chloe got home form the bus, she and I headed out to the pool deck for a few hands of Milles Bornes.

Using a panoramic stitching app on my phone, here’s tonight’s sky from the pool deck. If all our ducks get aligned, this will be my nightly show from our own unit.

Phelix got to spend some time out of his pen today. He ran around like a crazy puppy, but behaved well overall. I went to take a shower and came back to see this casualty — poor catnip mouse!

Chloe’s gymnastics team came in first at the meet today! And Chloe herself placed second in her age division in one event and first in the other three events, plus came in first overall!!

After an early morning start to see the groundhog make his prediction and a frustrating time signing Camille up for high school, we then walked over to Eddie’s Attic for a concert. On the way, we gawked at the crane in the middle of our street.

Phelix the Dog enjoys his walks. I try to get him out as much as I can, but during the week when we’ve got so much going on, it is difficult!
daily photo: croissants
Feeling blue today after the closing on the sale of our Pine Lake house. But these croissants that Camille baked from scratch were a tasty treat!

Chloe joined the “running club” at school yesterday in order to prepare for her next race… Today, our neighbors had a “kickoff” event for the race at their running store just down the street. We walked on down, and Chloe ended up getting to help pull the names for the door prize raffle!

Many of the flowers from last week’s bouquet have withered and died, but this lily just bloomed.

Tomorrow is National Puzzle Day, and we stopped by Seventeen Steps on the way home from the bus so we could get a head start on it!

After our morning hike at Arabia Mountain, we decided on having a nice lunch out. Chloe got a little bored waiting for the food to arrive.

The Decatur Recreation Center will be opening soon! Chloe simply adores the trees out front — they are her favorite kind of “rec center”!

So sad that this lovely collection is going to be auctioned off piece by piece. By so glad that Camille and I were able to see it before it goes.

Aren’t sunsets just lovely? I’d rather watch them than tv any day …

Now these are the kinds of flowers that I love! Simple.

Phelix trots on along to go to the bus stop to pick up Chloe!

I love having flowers in the house, truly I do. But I have having to find a vase, trim the flowers and rearrange. Because I have never found a bouquet that is truly to my liking. I like simple sunflowers, but I’ve managed to hurt myself and break whatever I’m using to trim them. Plus,
