Ben's 21 st birthday !!

 What a fun night we had at Mongolian BBQ in Coventry  for Ben's B Day
It was the first time we have ever been there!! It was really tasty. We made Ben's party a little more exciting ,by getting him a pinata  with some of his favorite candies in it !! He crushed it outside of the resturant , luckily It was FUN to watch !!
What  a great night !!

Interesting new critter.........

Meet this odd little fellow...We were grilling the other day and this little guy 
wanted to get in on th action !!He was so  cool looking , one type I have only seen in books.His toes had small round balls on each tip, very , very neat !! His coloring was also very odd ,an almost   teal color.
You will never know what or who you might meet in Litchfield !!

Sisters and treasured friends

Tina , Kim , Tammy and I are not only Sisters but friends and we truly enjoy time spent together !! we had a delicious lunch and conversation at Miss. Molly's this week , What a great time we had together!!

 

 

 

 

Feeling a little cooped up !!

Ok  .... This was a funny sight today !!

Cameron was feeding his chickens, he went over to fill the water bowl by the hose, when he looked up one of the chicken  was perched up on top of the box!! Well.... we assumed he was feeling a little cooped up !!
Tomorrow they will go into their cage instead of the box, They finally have enough feathers to go upside .

creepy crawly........

This morning as I went out side to water my plants, I spotted this GIANT daddy long legs !!
He was very big , in fact one of the largest I have seen.
I know they are HARMLESS but, they are just creepy to me. I am not a spider lover at all !!

laughter and FUN !!

 

Spending time with my Aunt Joyce and Cousin Lisa
has been SO fun.... Reminiscing about old times and just about anything leaves us laughing most of the time !! We spent yesterday in the Metroparks which was fun and relaxing , Today is a 4th of July picnic at Tina and Joel 's
