another sunny summer day

We had another glorious weekend. Friday night dinner & a movie.
Then Saturday, we went to the lake after lunch and stayed until 10ish. We played & ate - it was another perfect day!
Then yesterday, we lounged a bit. Went shopping. What a waste of time. It's always this way with me when I need something specific - I cannot find it!!! Three stores - nothing. I need some new shorts & well, let's face it, I'm not 14 anymore. I cannot (well, I should not) wear booty shorts. Can't. Won't. Refuse. And I couldn't quite find anything other than capris or booty shorts. Ugh. Problematic, I know.

I did have a run-in with a leech this weekend. My first, and hopefully, last encounter with a little bloodsucker. I stood up from the water, scratched my leg & saw that nasty little thing. It was little, but oh! so gross!!!
I felt like the little boys in the leech scene from Stand By Me. Thankfully, there was only one. And it hadn't feasted yet. If I had to pull a nice plump leech off my leg, I think I would have drowned from shock. How nasty!
Chad successfully mushed it with a stick.
Gross. Gross. GROSS!

The sun and wind were in her eyes
She looks gangsta, right?

Oh, it's Monday again. And I doubt we'll make it to the lake for a while.
Our CA trip is coming up very soon, so we'll be preparing for that.
And, I have some shopping to do, since I need a few things for our trip that I've not found yet. Fun, fun, fun.
Have a good week!

I so feel your shopping pain...There never is anything when you are ready to buy. Now go out not able to buy a thing and everything you want is jumping out at you...that's how it always turns out. Good luck finding some things.

So nasty about the leech! YUCK!! I think I would have puked. We have ticks around here all the time, and I think those are bad enough.

Cute pics, as always. :)

Gosh Skye,don't you know that's the rule.... When you need clothes and have mula to buy them for yourself nothing fits or remotley looks right.
And the leech? Oh I would've had a nrevous breakdown and then passed out;-)

I'll take a baybreeze,clink! clink!

I love a good day on the lake. So relaxing and it makes you sleep so well that night. The girls look super cute in their gear, love the gangsta pic!
