I've Become a Peddler (of sorts)

Yes, I have become a peddler.  And, quite frankly I enjoy it.  Except when the wind is coming out of the south and I am heading south! Or vice versa with north.  Below is a photo of my trusty partner in crime.

 Isn't she just cute?!?
The previous owner was June Reid, Aunt June.  I think she would be pleased to know I ride June around town.  The basket was a Mothers Day gift.   It holds my valuables.  Bank bag, purse, Pepsi, or mail.  Of course, it only holds one of those items at a time!!!  I have quite fallen in love with the childhood pastime of bike riding all over again.

This is the peach shower curtain
that hung in the turqoise blue bathroom
that was in the house
that Beulah lived in.

This is the olive green carpet
that lay on the floor
in the turqoise blue bathroom
in the house
that Beulah lived in.

 This is the bathroom scale
that use to be pink
that sat in the bathroom
in the house that Beulah lived in.

This is the bathroom
that use to be turqoise blue, peach,
and olive green
in the house that Beulah lived in.

'Bassett' meets Szilagyi

A Bassett is introduced to a Szilagyi and once again it is love at first sight.

 At least for the Bassett it was!
 My own children were raised with Bassett Hounds.  Delightful, loving, easy going (speaking of the dogs), but they love to roam. I was tempted to purchase this little guy, but then I remembered....he would  grow up!

"The Bachelor" and his party!

For Uncle Phil's bachelor party we walked (did I mention I love living in town!) over to the pool.  Phil was the shark and these were his little snacks!




Uncle Phil with his sister, brothers, nieces, and nephews.  Perhaps swimming was not such a great idea as the majority of the family came down with sore throats and colds!  Scott ended up in the ER room Saturday morning and Claudia has not caught one germ yet!!!  I attribute it to the Wells-Hardy last names I claim.
