Good morning Ladies, sitting here

with my coffee on a lovely COOL morning. Ds and I are planning a 15 mile bike ride this morning, so I'm so happy to see the sun. As RJ said, yesterday was cool and wet, but I managed to pick 12 pints of raspberries. I have alot more to pick so do I have any helpers??? Ds has been helping, grungingly, but he wants a way to make money and there aren't many opportunities for 14 year olds. Dgd is back in CA so it's a bit quieter around here. We had a lovely 4 day weekend up at the lake and one of the highlights was seeing a mother deer and two babies walking accross the road. They were so adorable. Other than that, we just hung out, walked, biked, read, ate....the usual summer activities. Dgd "fell in love" with a friend of ds's from Northern MN, but not to worry at 13 the most she did was hang around waiting for him to wake up one morning, lol. I know they traded addresses and emails. Ds is off to boy scout camp tomorrow for a week, so it will be even quieter around here. Maybe I can get caught up on a million things that need doing.

Well, I just wanted to pop in and let you know I'm still around, just busy like alot of you have been. Leilani said it well, we only have 3 months of summer, so have to pack it all in. Enjoy your day!!! Charlie

Have fun on that bike ride!!! Tell DS I'll be with him in spirit on that long one!! Tell him to make sure he has plenty of water and to pace himself. I'm trying to persuade dh to get back in shape so he and I can plan a bike trip to LA and MS to see the mansions. I'd like to start out on the lesser trips only doing 16-30 miles a day-to build him up. Have lots of fun and enjoy!!! ((HUGS)) Becky

Good MOrning CHarlie! SOunds like a good day ahead planned for you and your ds!

Wow wish I could be there to help pick the raspberries... but you are lucky I am not or there would be no profits.. I eat them as fast as I pick.

Love seeing the summer kid romances they are so cute!

Oh, I would LOVE to help you pick raspberries, Charlie! Those are my faves! I eat about as many as I pick, tho LOL!

Sounds like you have a nice week of quiet coming up! 15 miles!! Yikes!! I could do maybe 15 minutes LOL! Probably not even that at this point in time! Good for you!

Hi Charlie, have fun on your bike ride. We have blackberries here and last year we didn't get them all picked, so I hope we do better this year. They aren't ripe until august/september though. We had 3 deer the other day also, but not babies, it was 2 bucks and a doe. Have a good day, Gabby
