Georgia birthday

Folks are ignoring ME! I think I will pout, says Andy. All the attention is on the birthday girl.

Visitors

"Who is that sitting on MY couch!" Andy and Roy were heard saying! My sister and cousin Finny
!

Couch potatoes

Andy and Roy are not allowed on the furniture, except on this one couch in the study. It is particularly nice to "cuddle" with Mom when there is a thunder storm rumbling about outside.

July 4th

HAPPY JULY 4th! It is time to watch the musical, "1776" again and make home-made ice cream!

Happy Father's Day!

Mom's oven coil burned out, so Dad is getting "taken out" for his Father's Day celebration. Sadly, they won't let the boys go too. : (

Away from home

The three boys had to get along with me while I traveled in the Hudson River Valley with one of my daughters. Both boys gave me a thorough sniffing over especially after having been with my granddog, Finny. Roy was quite ready for some welcome home loving after that, but Andy was still a little peeved with me for leaving him so long. BUT - when he saw Roy getting some loving, his jealousy overcame his anger. It took quite a while to get the boy's coats all brushed out after their Dad only gave them a cursory brushing occasionally.

Monthly Bath

I haven't had any news in a while, so thought I would post a picture of the boys after their monthly bath. Are they not beautiful??!! In the background you can see their "pup door" to pass from the screened porch out into the fenced area.

Mother's Day 2009

The boys sent their Dad to buy me the beautiful blue Hydrangea for Mother's Day. My girls in NYC sent me the most beautiful and huge pink roses! I feel very much loved.

Phil's 68th Birthday

Our eldest daughter made it home for her Dad's birthday. After a dinner of the birthday boy's choosing, he opened presents with a little help from the boys.

Happy Easter!

The boys and their stuffed friends wish everyone a very Happy Easter and meaningful Passover.  Notice the orange tree in the background.  As soon as the chance of frost is over, it will be moved outside so the bees can do their work and we will have more oranges!
