Saturday

The weather was perfect, so we spent a good part of the day outside playing in the backyard, grilling on the patio, and taking a trip to the dog park. We thought the kids would love the dog park - zillions of doggies happily running around, begging to play fetch, be petted, and talked to. […]

Retirement party

Michael and I just got back from Bonnie’s retirement party. We had a great time, getting to talk to relatives and many people Bonnie worked with.
