for the bride...


I don't know what's been up with the summer weather this year... I personally wouldn't think of it as a "great" summer weather wise.. it's either raining or so hot and humid that you can't hardly breath.... I have been a bit "worried" about the bees....
We try and make a check of them every couple of weeks... they are doing their thing and the hive looks good, but the hope of having that first taste of honey this year doesn't look promising..... I just hope they make enough stores to get them threw the winter, if we can "winter them".. then that will be one big hurdle met....
Little Debbie (snack cakes) had her first vet appointment this week. Abbie and Sadie were with me
We see the good folks at DownMaine vet clinic and as with my past five dogs.. they have agreed to sponsor this puppy as well. I only hope they appreciate what this means to me and to NEADS.. without their help, our puppy raising would be much more difficult...
Dr. Spahn took a careful look at our little gal and pronounced her fit and healthy. She was very good on the table and didn't mind being examined at all. She had to have a couple of booster shots, but even that wasn't a problem.....
She weighs in at 16 lbs... so Dr. Spahn can hold her now... but another few months and that won't be happening.....
As we were getting ready to leave, in came another little yellow lab... just the same age as Debbie... they were so cute together and wanted more to play than sit still for a photo..... Abbie was thrilled to see "two puppies just the same".....
From there, the three of us went to dinner, and then onto Tee-tee's house.... for tonite, was a bridal shower for the bride to be... Miss Sadie. The wedding is on July 20th and held at the farm... and tonite the celebration begins......
Presents from family and friends.... sadly - Sadie wasn't totally surprised... but she was very pleased and excited with all the fun....
Abbie is certainly getting into this whole "wedding thing"... and she couldn't wait to help Mom open all their new items. Course she couldn't understand why Mom got so excited about dishes, silverware, baking items.... but it all depends in what you're hoping for I guess....
Everyone is looking forward to the wedding... it's been a few years since we have had one in the family......










And it's so wonderful to keep the generations together and knowing each other. This is Caroline.. my cousins little girl.. who... Abbie had decorated for the party!!!!



So, big going on's in the near future and fun blogs to write.... let's just hope the weather will co-operate...



happy wedding to Sadie and Jesse.....
