Aahh, Summer, when the livin' is easy.
Don't you just love summertime? Lazy days hanging out with family and friends. Sitting out on the deck and looking at the stars. Taking a nap in the sun. Watermelon and 
popsicles. Watching fireworks on the 4th of July. Eating barbeque. Long evening walks. Chasing chickens. Ooops, don't tell Mom and Dad about that last one. There sure is a lot of fun to pack into three short months.
Drew's college send-off party was a lot of fun. The whole family came over to visit and a bunch of Drew's friends came over, too. Lots of good food and lots of people to pet me. Doesn't get much better than that, does it? Soon, he will be away at school and it will just be the three of us--me, Mom and Dad. Oh, okay, Jasmine will still be here, but cats don't count. Ha Ha. Ouch!! Mom, Jasmine just hit me!
Before we know it, fall will be here. Bright sunny days and chilly nights. The leaves turning from green to beautiful reds, yellows and oranges. Pumpkins and Halloween candy. My birthday! There will be all kinds of great things to do. Enjoy the last weeks of summer, everyone. I hope yours has been a lot of fun, too.
Here is a slideshow with pictures from the party and one of the chicken pen and some photos of Dad's beautiful gardens. Enjoy and I'll see you soon!!!
