Boobapalooza

Andrea and her friend Moe (Maureen) put on a fundraising event to raise money for the Susan Komen 3 day Breast Cancer Awareness walk. The walk is scheduled for the end of July. Each of them has to raise $2,300 The organizers of the event.
Deb made tissue paper flowers as part of the decorations.

They came out very nice.
In addition Deb baked all morning so the girls could have a bake sale along with other activities.
Do they look familiar? Well they are supposed to. They sold them 2 for a dollar. After all they should come in pairs. Now do you recognize them?
They also had some other items for sale.

As well as a raffle and 50-50 drawing.

Moe's dad ran a Texas hold em table. Deb and I got lessons. Deb won all the money. Unfortunately it was just a practice round. But maybe she's found a new profession!!
Moe's mom read Taro cards.
In addition there were three bands. This is Matt's band. They were the best of the three.

After it was done, the girls ended up raising quite a bit but still have a way to go to meet their goal.

Dexter update

As you can see, Dexter is quite relaxed in his new home. Dexter getting ready to attack Bean. At first Bean was a little intimidated by Dexter. Although Dexter is half his size.Now they hang out together all the time.

Can you see Bean on the couch?


Catching some rays while watching for any birds or squirrels.Dexter taking a break during playtime.But sometimes you just really need a good nap. One sunny day I decided to wash my car. I had the windows opened so the boys decided to watch me. Yes they are both in the picture.

Do you remember the 80's?

Deb, Andrea, Pat (Andrea's boyfriend) and I went to an 80's themed birthday party for Andrea's best friend. Meet Don Johnson.

And our gracious host.

Nice cake. So it is more from the 70's. It was good just the same.

No this is not real. (Splenda).

Fun times were had by all.

Back from Bermuda

We had a great time on our recent trip. Here are a few of the pictures. If interested in all of them, they are available on Kodakgallery.com. Let me know and I can share with you. We left Boston on Friday afternoon on the Norwegian Spirit.We arrived in Bermuda on Sunday morning.One of the things we did was a glass bottom boat and sightseeing trip. It was one of the best things we did. In addition to the coral reefs (which weren't as pretty as we thought they would be), we also saw a ship wreck.
When we got back to the dockyard, we walked around for a while. Then we had dinner at the Frog and Onion Pub. It was a great meal.
The second day in Bermuda we went to Hamilton (the capital) and stopped at Horseshoe Bay beach on the way. Very pretty but no beautiful pink sand as expected.
When we left Hamilton, we took the ferry back to the ship. It was much faster than the bus.The third and last day in Bermuda we went to St. Georges. We went by ferry since it is the oposite end of the island. The island is only 28 miles long and no more than 1 mile at the widest part. The roads are narrow and winding. St. Georges was a more quaint town than Hamilton is.


Three times during the week we came back to our room and found one of these on our bed. We even went to a show on how to make them. Of course they make it seem very easy. Still not sure I could do it.
Also on the last day we took another walk around the dock yard. And someone offered to take our picture.

One of the many pubs on the ship. We like English Pubs.
This is a wishing circle. You are supposed to stand in it and make a wish. And hopefully it will come true.Last day at Sea. We did a lot of this as well on the trip.Finally approaching Boston. You can probably recognize Logan airport.

Dexter arrives

Well we waited 3 month's but finally were able to go get Dexter. I think he will be worth the wait. Although he was not the most cooperative for the camera.

We gave him his own food dish and litter box.
And a comfy blanket to sleep on.



And introduced him to his new big brother - Bean. Hopefully they will get along great and have fun growing up together.
