Misery...NOT!

Over Memorial Day Weekend,
we went to the Little Cabin.

This was our destination.

We went for a boat ride.

Adriana and Grandma Pat.

Alexis and Grandma Pat.

We went by some really nice cabins.

Then we stopped to do some fishing.
David helped Adriana cast her line.

David helped Alexis reel her line in.

Grandpa caught 6 fish that day.

Alexis is practicing her drowning technique.

The girls had a lot of fun swimming in the lake.

Happy Mother's Day


Mother Doesn't

Want a Dog



by Judith Viorst






Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they smell,
And never sit when you say sit,
Or even when you yell.

When you come home late at night
And there is ice and snow,
You have to go back out because
The dumb dog has to go.

Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they shed,
And always let the strangers in
And bark at friends instead

They do disgraceful things on rugs,
And track mud on the floor,
And flop upon your bed at night
And snore their doggy snore.

Mother doesn't want a dog.
She's making a mistake.
Because, more than a dog, I think
She will not want this snake.
