Sandie hits the lake

Well Sandie has now fully recovered from her snake bite (See blog Thursday July 19, 2007) so we decided to take her on the boat with us so she could have a swim in the lake and by jove did she swim. We struggled to keep her out of the water! As it's quite difficult for her to get back on the boat we put on her doggie life vest which has a handle on so you can easily pick her out of the water. Below is a pic of her swimming next to Mark As you can see she fully enjoyed herself and was very tired the next day. Lucy our other dog came with us but didn't really like the whoile jumping of the boat bit. She much preferred to run around on the beach when we pulled up for some food. I can't say I blame her. Still a good time was had by all. That's it for now as always...Mezza out!

Are you ready to sing?

Well last Saturday I was. It's a good job we live in a detached house as the sound coming from the karaoke mike last Saturday was loud. It was certainly fun though as Kevin P and Mark played their guitars too. We will most certainly have to do it again. Instead of putting on lots of photo's I thought I would do something different and put on a photo collage. Hope all is well out there. For now...Mezza is out!

Happy Birthday Mattie.

Mattie has now turned 11 and he had a very good birthday. Thanks to all who sent cards and presents, he does appreciate it even though he might not say it! As his birthday was on a Thursday and he was back at school we had his party on the following Saturday. His party was a day on the lake tubing and swimming with 5 of his closest friends. We also pulled up to the beach where we cooked burgers and hot dogs and played a little soccer before it started to thunder. At that point though it was time to come home anyway and eat his ice cream birthday cake.


What did he get for his birthday? The answer to that is Guitar hero 2 for the Play Station II and below is a photo's of Mattie and Daddy enjoying that birthday gift. He also got gift cards and money from friends and relatives and a renewed subscription to Kids National Geographic from Grandad which he absolutely loves. As he is a big Harry Potter fan he also got the 7th and final Harry Potter book which he is still reading.


I unfortunately didn't get photo's of him and his friends for his birthday as our brand new camera ran out of batteries. Quite annoying really as it doesn't have a battery meter and I was wondering how long the battery would last. I guess I should have just charged it anyway. I'll know for future reference.

Hope all is well with everyone but for now, Mezza out!
