Birthday Fun

Yesterday was my birthday and I just had to share the card and prezzies I got from Phil and the pups. Phil is always sure that I get something just from the puppies. . .it's very sweet. Here is the card Moose and Maui gave to me. . .how funny is that? I love all the different candle scents a doggie would like that's listed on the inside :-)
And of course they gave me. . . a candle ( a yummy scented one) :-)

4th of July

Every year Phil and I go camping with a group of friends at Tolland State Forest in Otis, MA. It's always a weekend of great fun. This year the weather was quite cool but we still had an awesome time. . .enjoyed some delicious camp fire meals, time on the boat, and fellowship with good friends.

Brett & Wheatley's Wedding at the Hilstead -- Farmington, CT

Brett and Wheatley's wedding day was one to remember. . .full of smiles, love, laughter and just to make it interesting. . .no power. Yes, you read that right. Along with this crazy weather we've been having here in New England came a crazy thunderstorm that wreaked havoc on the town of Farmington the day before Brett and Wheatley's wedding, causing 2 days of power outages in most of the surrounding area. Given the crisis and changes to the original schedule of the day, Brett and Wheatley could not have been more calm, gracious, in love and just plain thrilled that they were getting married!
Thankfully, the day of the wedding we actually had beautiful weather. The Hilstead Museum is an absolutely gorgeous location for an outdoor wedding, complete with lovely historic buildings, gardens and rolling hills that seem to go on for miles.
Here are some highlights from the day. . .
Yep. . .just a minor detail. . . who needs power anyway?
