You played golf with WHO?!

The rain has moved in on us. I'm not really complaining as we need it but those days of warm sunshine were just so nice. I got all of my plants in the ground finally, my containers planted with annuals and my small veggie garden put in. The one thing I didn't do this year was to put out six hanging baskets on my front porch. It got so late that I couldn't find much left to pick from that matched so I decided not to get any. I've lived in this house for 16 years and this is the first year I haven't had something hanging there but it is what it is.

Son and Hubby had a fun time yesterday. They flew down to Massachusetts to play golf with the New England Patriot's at their annual fundraiser! They were some excited about that! I sent Hubby loaded with cameras but they weren't allowed to take any pictures or ask for any autographs. :o( They did take a couple of pictures for each of the participants and put them in a nice double frame to bring home. Of course I had to take it apart and scan the pictures so that I could share them with you. Hummmmmmm.....I wonder if the scanner police will be coming after me.......

Can you pick out which one is Hubby? He said he felt awfully short while he was there!

This one has Son second from the right and a few of the others that were there. I guess once again you can tell which ones are the football players.

They had just a great time with the players, it was a day to remember for anyone here in New England that loves football. I wasn't invited......sniff sniff......

Miss T had another riding lesson today. She had been a bit nervous about doing much cantering and I was wondering if she would even do it but she cantered her little heart out and did a great job. I really liked this lesson as there were only three in the class, she was the youngest but the other two weren't that much older. They were chatting away and having a great time. The instructor took a piece of yarn and tied it around one of their pinky fingers and the horses bit. If their hands got up too high the yarn broke so this let them know they had their hands up too high and helped them keep their hands low where they are supposed to be. Miss T's only broke once when she reached up to scratch one of her eyes. It really did help the girls be conscious of where their hands were positioned. I didn't take my camera as it was supposed to rain but I wish I had to show how you how this worked as it was pretty neat.

While out on our date day last weekend Hubby and I stopped at a great place near the coast that has fabulous kitchen items. I had been wanted to stop there for some time as they have lots of things that you can't find anywhere else. I have been online drooling over the different colors that the Kitchen Aid mixers come in now and wouldn't you know they had them there at the store! Yippee! I had to come home with the yellow one to match the walls in my kitchen. Now isn't this just the 'purtiest thang' you've seen in a long time?

Guess that's it for tonight, got to go tuck the boys in and make sure they have enough hay to snack on. Kipper's diet is coming along pretty well, he's getting more exercise and less treats so hopefully he will slim down a bit. He's just so darned cute!
