Grab Bag

We had a few very hot days in the month of May. On a Sunday afternoon, we set up the slip and slide for Conley. She wouldn't try it on her own, so I had to put on my suit and participate in the fun. Once the neighbors came over to play, Conley was just fine going down by herself. I must say, the slide just isn't wide enough! I kept slipping onto the grass.
Here is a picture with me and my dog, C.C. She is now 11 years old. I adopted her when she was 6 months old at a pet adoption event in Gilbert, AZ. I am allergic to dogs and cats, so I was hesitant to get a dog. My family insisted on it, since my home had been broken in to. I was attracted to C.C. because she had a calmness about her and she didn't lick. She wasn't much of a guard dog at first. When she spent the weekend with another dog who barked, C.C. figured it all out!
Conley just loves helping me wash the car. At first, she drove me crazy always going over the spots that I had cleaned and dried. Now, she understands the flow of things and just does her thing.


I pray that she never does this while in a bikini one day!



Mike and I took Conley to the Harry Fest in Otsego a few weeks ago. She enjoyed the activities, the bands and the balloon guy.












Conley attended a wedding last weekend. See Fran's blog for more details.



I think I'll use this picture for my blog. Conley looks better than her parents. This is the way it always should be.

Jamaica

Mike and I visited Montego Bay, Jamaica May 1 - 5. We stayed at the brand new resort Secrets, St. James. It was absolutely beautiful. We didn't get too many pictures of us with our digital camera. We had some professional photos taken as well as some with the waterproof camera. We went wind sailing and snorkeling, swam in the pool and in the sea, had superb food and lots of drinks! It was our first time to Jamaica and we really enjoyed the gorgeous water, personable natives and, of course, the Blue Mountain coffee!

If you would like to see more photos of the resort, visit Paradise Getaways on facebook.


Here's the beach just outside our room.


This is one of the wedding gazebos on property. I did sunrise and sunset yoga in this gazebo. Very relaxing (and hot too!).



We visited the White Witch Golf Club. The view was absolutely spectacular. The picture doesn't do it justice. The late Johnny Cash had a home on the property.




I toured Sandals, Montego Bay while there. This neat palm was on their property.



Here is a photo in our suite before we dined that evening at Bordeaux French restaurant. There are a total of 9 restaurants on the property.
