May 2013

Hmm... another month has already come and gone. I guess I shouldn't exaggerate and claim the year is half over already (it is obviously only 41.4% over (probably more by the time you actually read this)) but the year does seem to be going by pretty quickly...

May didn't bring any big trips or guests. We did celebrate Mother's Day. I even remembered to get Caroline flowers from me and the kids (though I apparently forgot to let Lucie know of her generosity, which she was quick to point out to Caroline.) Of course, Caroline took care of my mom along with her own so I wouldn't forget (but I did come up with my own card!)

We also took time to remember Harry and celebrate his life. In addition to planting more around the house, this year we went out to the beach and released his ashes in the wind and surf. It wasn't just like a movie... I hope it is what Harry would have wanted, but we just really couldn't spread his ashes at the barn with the horses even if riding really was his favorite thing.

Also, the hammies continue to bring excitement to the day to day... Now they aren't getting along, so we can't keep them together. Another trip to the vet... some anti-biotics... two cages... these $13 hamsters are really racking up the big bucks in terms of on-going expenses.

But, no, we haven't gotten a dog yet. Lucie did get a big book of dog breeds though and is really working on it...
