Summer Fun

ScrapArtist is having a 1 year celebration. So I participated in one of their challenges and scrapped a page with my summer favorites on it. My 5 favorite things of summer? Bikinis, Suntanning, SkinnyDipping, Barefeet, and the Beach. What are YOUR favorite things of summer? I used Tania JPS Freestyl-ish Alphas for the "Summer" wordart. She is a talented artist selling at Natural Designs in Scrapbooking. The weather has changed here. It is down to the high 70s and lower 80s during the day. Falling to a chilly 45 at night. Brrrr. Our dog, Isabelle has mastered the circular staircase and is quite proud of herself. But she has quite a routine in scaling this mountain...she whines at the bottom, then mounts them and looks over the edge at each step. By the top, she preens as if she has accomplished an amazing feat! She drinks water out of the bowl we placed for her at the top, then takes a discreet look at herself in the mirror before ambling over to the window to gaze out at the night. Sometimes she lets out one bark, sometimes not. Then she hops up onto the waterbed (our daughter's old bed) and circling once, she curls up to sleep. We have noticed that since she has been sleeping on the waterbed, she does not snore as much. The ordeal to wake her up in the morning very much reminds us of when Kelsey was at home. Yelling upstairs at her to wake up, time to get ready to go to school. By the time that Greg is ready to leave, she finally comes down the stairs, yawning and stretching. Getting a goodbye hug from him, she usually manages to snag a couple doggy cookys before going back up to bed.
