So what do you do when the weather's hot, and you have mice in your house?? You move to Mom and Dad's for the weekend. That's what we did Memorial Day weekend. And fun was had by all...especially the 4 legged family members. We sprung Winston and Ellie Mae from the kennel and everyone went for a swim. Petie and Jessica's lab "heritage" sure came out during this stay as neither wanted to get out of the pool and actually fought over space on the float. King of the Float I guess you'd call it.

As for the mice, they seem to have all departed....from this world. On Monday, David and I finally installed the hardwood floors in the dining room. I hate that job more than anything, but the results are beautiful. Overall, we had a really good time visiting at Mom's. Today, its back to work. YUCK! Talk with you all soon. Next pictures will be from SPACE CAMP, as my two boys attempt to fly the Space Shuttle. Look out!! Love, Karen

Hey everyone. It was Mother's Day yesterday and Dad and I took Mom to the Memphis Botanic Gardens for brunch. It turned out to be a gorgeous afternoon with the Memphis Jazz Orchestra playing Frank Sinatra music in the background. There was a soft breeze across the lake by the Japanese Garden, and Memphis Carriage was offering horsedrawn carriage rides around the gardens. It was just an unbelievably nice day for Mom. I think we walked through almost every garden...the rose garden, the fruit tree garden and the sensory garden. We hope that all of you had terrific Mother's Days too. Love, Karen
