My kids (and one of my neighbor's) spent the time thanking all the men and women for their service and listening to the stories. They're all history buffs and were amazed by the people they met. They had a contest to see who thanked the most veterans for their service. It was an incredible day!<br /><br />@ Mary~ I've missed you, my friend! I wish I could play tennis--I have no eye/hand coordination. It's almost scary! Love the reading though. <br /><br />@ Elf2060--I'm all about hiding from the heat--it's scorching here! Enjoy the reading and the air conditioning and I'll work on setting boundaries with Pepper. We're going to Puppy Class tonight.<br /><br />@ Terry - no worries, sweetie! Thanks!<br /><br />@ Kathleen - A summer house sounds lovely! Enjoy!Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-14755488038037330592012-06-21T09:25:26.943-04:002012-06-21T09:25:26.943-04:00You certainly have been busy...But lots of great f...You certainly have been busy...But lots of great family time..

Might go to a friends summer home for a nice long weekend. Or spend some time at the pool at my oousins house. Other that that, what ever come up, I will just pack my suitcase..Kathleen Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750925187927330976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-3785741226859082942012-06-21T08:14:45.029-04:002012-06-21T08:14:45.029-04:00Great post, Robin!

I often went to my father's EX-POW veteran's group meetings with my mother and father. He's been gone now for over 10 years, and it's true that the group is dwindling to nothing.

Sigh--when he's there, I go to Starbucks. I just can't work with him in the room, I find it impossible to ignore family, strangers, however, are no problem.<br /><br />@Carolyn - Where in PA? I've covered half the state in the last week too. We hit Philadelphia Shriner's Hospital on Monday stopped on South Street for the world's best Cheese Steak--Jim's Steaks, 4th and South, then drove through the Amish Country to Carlisle in Central PA near Harrisburg and then headed back down to Maryland. Tony and Twinkle Toes went to the Franklin Museum and saw the Dead Sea Scrolls while we were doing the annual check-up thing. They said it was amazing!<br /><br />@ Shana--Puggles are a designer breed and for a small dog, they don't tend to get small dog syndrome which I hate. I was never a fan of small dogs, but this one is just perfect for Mini-Me. She's 18 weeks old and she ways 8 pounds. The breeder doesn't think she'll go over 15--she's small for a Puggle. They are normally about 20 unless they get fat.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-47322791021003777502012-06-20T12:07:16.061-04:002012-06-20T12:07:16.061-04:00Robin, I had not heard of a Puggle before, so I ha...Robin, I had not heard of a Puggle before, so I had to Google it.

The pool is her favorite thing right now, followed by the library.

That puppy is so cute!<br /><br />I'm planning to spend as much time with my kids as possible and catch up on a few home projects I haven't had time to do. ATM, I'm redecorating my husband's office. He took the dungeon office in the basement and let me have the nice one with a balcony. He's so sweet. :)samantha@samanthagraceauthor.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043060709341696044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-10100528688164820592012-06-20T09:23:11.090-04:002012-06-20T09:23:11.090-04:00@ Amanda - A puggle is a cross between a pug and a...@ Amanda - A puggle is a cross between a pug and a beagle. Pepper has more of a beagle face, which I prefer because puppies with more pug-like faces tend to have breathing problems. My youngest wanted a small dog she could handle with her disabilities and Pepper is small even for a puggle. Her breeder thinks she'll be between 12 - 15 pounds when they are normally around 20.<br /><br />@ Amanda~ Congratulations on Layla! That's great.<br /><br />@ Grace - I'm hoping things slow down before August but I'm not counting on it.<br /><br />@ Cheryl-I've never been a big fan of pugs either but the mix is awesome. Great personality, no small-dog syndrome which I can't tollerate and a small size. My smallest dog before Pepper is a 70 lb Pointer.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-24512144645094177692012-06-20T07:54:18.110-04:002012-06-20T07:54:18.110-04:00Cute puppy!
