How Was Your Weekend?

What did everyone do this weekend?? Did you freeze or fry?
Even though we both had colds and it was SO COLD up here, we managed to have an eventful weekend. Saba & Sandy touched noses in the bed!! but no camera handy, darn! ..so here's our Sunday album.

Cleaning up ALL morning from the big Saturday night storm!


Saba, the past 5 Sunday mornings watches the rain -again.


Sandy is growing up.

Today the weather cleared for only 2 hrs but it was enough to go see The Dock Dogs!




Sandy puppy holds her own just fine!




Being led to water.....will she do it???


....Should I go in???


Dad to the rescue, maybe she's just too young for the river yet....overwhelmed by the big dogs




Goin' home!!! Dinner time!

awwww E what a marvellous weekend it seems that you had (except for you both being ill)
what is dock dogs exactly?

awwww and look at Sandy's ears and Saba of course looks adorable as always

Hi Eddie!

What a wonderful series of pictures from your weekend. Looks like everyone had alot of fun.

I had a fun weekend but it was freezing here in Wellington!

Sam

What a wonderful weekend album, Eddie! These are some great action shots of Sandy with her little ears flying! Saba is just more gorgeous every day! You must have had a great time at the show! Boy, you sure had a mess from that big storm! Hope it didn't disrupt any of your plants! You must be freezing, and what is it with all this rain! Please let me know when your rice patties are ready to harvest, Sierra and I would like to come for dinner!
It's finally warming up a bit here, still not quite the normal temps yet. It's extremely windy which is making it feel colder than it actually is. Today, I went over to the ocean thinking it would be beautiful to lay out for a while, but it was just too cold! People were out there in hooded sweatshirts. Our rain is supposed to start back tonight and last for the next couple of days. Sure hope you warm up and dry out soon!

Looks like you had a nice weekend!
I had a nice one as well. I got to visit with my adorable, 3 week old granddaughter. My sweetie got to meet her for the first time. I think they are going to big buddies. He held her and did not really seem interested in giving her back. It was soooo sweet. She had a tummy ache, and the only time she wasn't fussy was when he held her. Mr. I-don't-like-kids!
We also go to go to the 16th Annual Crawdad Party that a friend of ours has. It was a great time for everyone. There was a band, the sacrifice of the bass when the bonfire got lit, (they find a crappy old broken up bass guitar and put it on top of the bonfire) a bath tub full of crawdads, all kinds of food and drink. It is always such a good party, because nobody ever acts up, no matter how much they drink. Everybody just has fun until they fall down in their tent. It went on until about daylight this year. I made it to about 2 a.m.

Great, thanks for the pics.... roll on next weekend? hehe

My weekend was okay ish... went to Ikea on Saturday and managed to actually buy stuff without murdering anyone in the store (my stress levels hit the top as soon as I walk in that place, dunno why?), went supermarket shopping with my mum, did the usual household stuff then by about 3pm I started to get a migraine so I just chilled out for the rest of the day and went to bed at about 8.30pm cos I felt rubbish! lol

Yesterday (Sunday) I pretty much chilled for most of the day too, watching TV and I also watched Meet the Fockers on DVD That film is soooo funny!

Saturday - I had to cook two chickens for a pot luck dinner - they were slow roasted in the oven for 5 hours and came out soooooooo moist and tender and they just fell off the bone! They were a success at the dinner and we didn't have any left to take home. The dinner was great, had lots of fun. I won $7 and Jake won $46 and he gave me the money and I'm saving it for something.

Sunday - relaxed just a wee bit in the morning while Jake was at work and then we went to help a lady plant a tree and some hostas - she paid is $25 each for about an hour and half's worth of work. Not bad! Which is also going to be saved.

Eddie - that Sandy is just soooo goshdarned cute - I love her ears! And Saba is so beautiful!

It was beautiful in my area this weekend! We were supposed to get rain yesterday but it was just gorgeous!

I like those dog pics by the way, they look so happy jumping into the water... I love water dogs.

Saturday, we went to KMart for some serious shopping. Then onto Revenge of the Sith - my 2nd time, my daughter's 1st. Then we pigged at Golden Corral. Then I worked in my yard, digging, mulching, planting and tearing up stuff til it got dark.

Sunday, trimmed my lovely trees, man that took a while; gathered more river rock for my rock gardens, painted a trash cabinet, played in the park for a bit, jumped in the trampoline until I thought I was going to puke. Set up a little tent in the backyard for my daughter & her friends to play in. Had me a glass of wine & fell asleep I was so exhausted!



I'm glad to be back at work, at least here I can sit & chill!

Aww E, love your photo album!!

Our weekend was a good one. Got lots done around the house or I should say outside the house. The weather was beautiful till lastnight when the clouds rolled in. It's been yucky ever since.

Yesterday we went to a family dinner at my sisters. Was very nice.

I hate Mondays!

Eddie, love the pics! That little Sandy sure is growing up fast! And what a great pic of sweet Saba!

It's still the weekend for me (long weekend- woohoo!), but it's been pretty crappy. It rained all day yesterday and is suppose to be the same today. Saturday wasn't too bad, just overcast. Did some retail therapy Saturday and have been relaxing since (other than doing my laundry)! Back to the salt mines tomorrow.

Wow E!! That was quite a mess in your yard.......does that happen often?
I can't believe how big Sandy's getting!! Great Pics!

Saturday, we gave our son his 5th B-Day party here at the house, a swim party! Boy was it HOT! 95! It had been in the 80's up until Saturday. We didn't get rid of everyone one until 7pm ...party started at 2!!!
We were exhausted, just picked up the food and crashed.

Sunday, I convinced Mike to help me clean my 30 gal. tank . It's so nice, and clean and pretty!!!! I also cleaned up a little from the party later that day. I need to finish cleaning today.

I don't have any pics from the party yet, but when I get them I'll see if I can post them......I've never done that before!

I love reading about everyones nice weekends!

I went to CHamberburg PA to watch my sister graduate from Wilson College with her BS in Vetenary Technology. Wilson is a women's college in south central PA.
Because they are the graduating class of 2005, they were the "odds", which was referenced many times over the weekend. The graduation cermony lasted just over 3 hours. Don't ask me how that happened. WVU lasted only 2 1/2 hours and we had 4,000 graduates....haha anyway here are some pics from my new camrea!!
Here's my sister walking across the stage. The girls gave the College's President a pin wheel as a gift

Here's my sister on the Green just after graduation. They got to wear hoods rather then a simple tassel. The yellow means "Science"


Congrads Steph!!!!

Thank you Susie, and everyone else. I LOVE reading about what everyone did.
I hate Mondays too. I am so sick! I feel like a tub'o'lard! I have not had bronchitis in years.

Danielle, the Dock Dogs are just that from the photos....these were the northwest trials. The dogs train for years to run off the dock to catch in mid air the ball or frisbee their owner has thrown. Then they fall into the water and swim. The score is the feet + inches measured from the dock as their bums hit the water. They train for hours and hours. They love it! It was being filmed for ESPN. There were dogs that came from as far away as Montana to compete. I even saw a lady with a cat on her shoulders!
The winner yesterday was a black lab at 19'2"!! We don't think Sandy will become a dock dog. She loves to run. She takes off with those floppet ears back and zooms.

oh and P.S. -- Eburgess, congrats to your sister there on that degree! WOW!~!

Great Pics!! I love Sandy's ear, they are so adorable. Looks like ya'll still had some fun even with the weather being as crazy as it has been. Where are pics of you?!

My weekend was eventful...lots of shopping and Ally's birthday party along with many hours of just nothing but relaxing.
