Hummingbirds and Tulips
HappySpring! The 100 Bulbs are off to a great start after a harsh winter. All the bulbs seem to be even heartier this year! The tulips around the window well are about 3 gnomes high. They seem to be untouched by the bunnies (Bertrum and Beatrice) that live in our backyard.
What do you think of this new hummingbird contraption I picked up from Stein's? It comes will nectar, you just add water. I bought a giant suction cup and stuck it to our kitchen window. Who thinks we will have visitors? The bag is silver and red with a feeder and stand at the bottom. There are little flowers printed on the bag. Will it lure a hummingbird? Stay tuned!

Shabbat Shalom!
What is more fun than a Bat Mitzvah? Having a wine and champagne flight with a friend from high school! It was a beautiful day and getting some rays was just what we needed!

Shoe Shopping Vocabulary
Did you know that words like "wicked hot" and "wow factor" can be used to determine whether or not a pair of shoes should be purchased? Shoe shopping with Andrea and me is always an adventure! These souls (soles :) are great friends and share a passion for fashion!

Rainy Day in July
What do you do when it rains in July and you can't spend the day at the beach? Go out to lunch with someone you love! The Mr. and I enjoyed a romantic trip to the mall. I feasted on bacon cheeseburger pizza from Rocky's. Yum! Or as Fred Dawson would say, "Smack, smack!" There is no one else I would rather spend a rainy day with... :)
Here is a random picture from Fort Hood Texas a few years ago. Did you see this one already? It is Corey, Eve, and Barry!

Constant Gardener
Ah yes! That time of the year again! The garden is planted. This year I will be growing lettuce, watermelon, collards, mint leaves (for tea), strawberries (the ones that the mice will let us have), and sunflowers. The seeds are from my wedding shower a few years back. I know Henry, my guinea pig, will appreciate the greens! The gnome is busy watching the crop as we are away. A sneaky rabbit chewed an entrance and exit to the garden. You can see where Corey had to put wood in to cover the hole. If you would like to be a guest gardener, stop on over!

Birdies!!!
Look at all of the eagles that flew over to Birdies for lunch! This is the last Banking Day of the school year, so it will be our last trip as a staff to our favorite lunch spot. Of course, that does not rule out reunions over summer break! I loved my BLT with avocado on a croissant! Yummmmmy!

Mother's Day Spy!
We topped off our Mother's Day breakfast with a trip to the Milwaukee Public Museum to see the Dead Sea Scrolls. After 3 hours of reading, listening, and being in awe of our creator, we headed over to our dinner reservations. When we arrived at the Safe House, we did not say the password quiet enough, so we had to make chicken noises and movements to gain entry. We had a fantastic feast of burgers, ribs, fries, and onion rings! A family that spies together...stays together :)!

Dinner and Dogs
We are Abby sitting this weekend while Steve and Sue are celebrating Mother's Day! Thinking of a yummy and quick dinner? Make kabobs! I sprinkled some Northwoods Seasoning (from Penzey's Spices) before the Mr. grilled them. Summer flavors in Spring! It makes me think of all of the fun outings there are in the summer at the local parks! Better dust off that picnic basket! Who is in?

Wario Fans Unite!
These pictures have been sitting in my photo file for awhile. Jen and Bill brought over an awesome game with the name Wario in it. Can't remember the name because the games were so fast, that my brain could not absorb the name! There was a lot of pressure in a short amount of time! My favorite was shaving the sheep! It was a blast. Thanks also for the cute earrings! Jen is on Etsy everyone! http://www.etsy.com/shop/duffyje
