I have to admit…it was pretty hard not working…I had to even walkout of my room a couple of times because I promised myself and my family I would not work for a week…I might have woken up a little early some days and just visited my room…watched a little Netflix and stitched something that was not a work project…but during the day…it was real easy to ignore it…I had a blast!
We had people over, I got to spend time on the lake…kayaking, jet skiing, boating and swimming…we had an emergency room visit…”little man” received 4 stitches in his right eye last Saturday…and Nick and I went for a long 212 mile motorcycle ride, and we planted more things in the garden…what a great 10days…
Thanks to all who came out to spend time with us this week…it was awesome!!
motorcycle selfie…
You had to take a pic with the pink hog…
Late in the day…the sun is in the west…
Jeter enjoying the comfy chair at the party on the 4th…he’s showing us all how to relax and enjoy the party…
The water trampoline that never made it in the water…Jace and Aylee
I know one should never post a pic of of yourself in a bathing suit but…it’s really about “little man” and how much fun we had…and someday I will want this photo….
Papa…playing in the water too- being the “motor”boat!!!
broken bird bath…so why not plant some succulents in it and cover the manhole cover!!!
view from my kayak…real peaceful on the lake in the morning…
Mimi…washed all Daddy’s and his bothers’ legos and now they are ready to play with…on his little table.
Jace loves the boat…he always wants to drive…that’s real good because someday he will be driving Papa and Mimi around…
The best cupcake decorator EVER!!! he just giggled…
Griffin…eating some red, white and blue stuff….what a little stud…
The party…lots of food 
every part of our outdoor living was used…so amazing…still can’t believe how cool it is…we had a fire…made s’mores…and then Nick & Beau shot off fireworks from the dock to end the night…perfect end to a great day…
“little man” and his Momma…
found some cool spheres for my table…
hydrangeas are starting to bloom…bought the blue one for the patio…but it did not like it there…had to hide it in the front…in almost full shade…
Meet Hootie…are newest pet…his wings move up and down and he swings forward and back with the wind!
I hope you enjoyed seeing a little part of my “staycation!!!
Now I bet we all have some blocks to stitch!!! Happy Summer…LB

I love Hootie! He would fit in here at our home nicely as we hear a hootie in the evening here. Beautiful photos and memories made. I always hate staying home on vacation, but you made it look like so much fun! We live about a mile from the lake and were on “staycation” as you call it, all last week and never made it to the lake. I’m retired. but hubby isn’t just yet, so I think I’ll go to the lake tomorrow for a walk. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me!!

A question? the quilts on your living room walls, do you have the patterns for either or both. would love to do both is possible> thank you again.
Motorcycle Mama, Big Daddy and Pink Princess Hoggette!! (snicker, snicker). Love the photos and the red and white star quilt too! Hey do Hydrangeas normally like shade? I’ve got one to plant. White flower gardens set off your house. Looking Good!!
