Back to School !!!

Well, its been a long summer for us. Missy went back to school today and she is now in 9th grade... wow where did the time go?? she was just 8 yesterday... On about 4 hours of sleep for me, I got up and she actually got up on her own!! and ready for school. She laid out her outfit last night, showered, straightened her hair after waiting for it to dry naturally. Becuase we don't want to fry anymore of the "skunk tail" than is already done...



***********************************************************************************


Happy is not too happy today, she watched all of us getting ready to leave this morning and was very mischevious too. Michael had a meeting at his school but starts on Thursday. Poor puppy... I'm sure she will find something to chew up to get back at us... but the bedroom and bathroom doors are all closed and garage door too... hopefully she doesn't eat the couch... My beads are tucked away or out of reach on the table... so the bead stealing dog can't get to them...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^












Labor Day weekend was nice. I took last Thursday and Friday off to add to yesterday... but didn't plan ahead to go somewhere so was just at home... Although Missy and I did drive down to Laguna Beach about 3pm on Saturday... We really like Laguna.... we got there at 5pm... it is a long way down the coast... we did not swim, we walked the beach,walked through the Wyland Gallery, (which I never tire of...) then poked around the shops. We had dinner at a mexican restraunt that we like and were serenaded by a mariachi band... Missy was surprised at my knowledge of the songs being sung... Walked the sand one last time and watched the sun go down... drove home along Pacific Coast Hwy... I told her we could take PCH all the way to grandmas in Alameda... if we wanted to...



Sunday was a lazy day and yesterday too for that matter. I spent some time working on the cuff. And am really liking how it is coming along... Also Missy and I watched a movie Bring it On... which is always best seen while eating Dark Chocolate Raisinets... you get more out of the movie that way... ha ha ha




So today was back to work and start of school... Hope you all had a good weekend and holiday.

I LOVE the pic of Missy and Happy! So cool that you caught that one. Happy is a nuts dog. Lots of personality. She fits right in with your crew. Nice pics of the trip too. I will see the PCH one day, for sure!

Love, Carol

HI Deb! Just catching up on some blog reads-

How did Happy survive the empty house? You want mischief? get a kitten! I'm learning that lesson the hard way. He has now figured out how to get up onto my beading table - ughh!!!

Nice to see you were able to extend the last summer holiday. Love the sunset pic. Made me ~sigh~

Big Hug!
