The rain here is COLD and MISERABLE, and the ME is COLD and MISERABLE! It's just rubbish. Thunderstorms in and of themselves don't vex me. Especially if they're resultant of HOT weather not just English Summertime having a tantrum.<br /><br />Blueberries and coffee are a mix? I never heard of that one before but I'll take your word that it's good! Did you ever try blackcurrants and mint?

I only have one month off (starting tomorrow, technically until I go back Aug. 1) so I'm trying to fit in everything I can: retreats, road trips, beach trips. Hehe. So, have fun! We'll see you soon!

If you were born before 1985, you do not have to have a boating license. And it never expires, so if he never leaves the state, he will have a boating license if someday in the far-away future he owns a boat! You're even supposed to have one to operate a jet ski.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-16205652745135122222016-06-26T00:38:41.643-05:002016-06-26T00:38:41.643-05:00Our blueberry season will be over by next week.

My brother was visiting my dad and they were going to rent a boat for a day on the lake. When me brother went to rent it, he was refused because he wasn't over 25. The hilarious thing was that he was an officer in the Navy and the government trusted him with a nuclear submarine, yet the local boat rental place wouldn't let him rent a small boat! My dad had to sign the paperwork.

I use it OFTEN. <br />We really utilize our season passes at White Water. It's two hours away from us, but we are spoiled and have my parents' lake house to stay at nearby, so we can go to the lake house and run out to the water park for only an hour or two at a time. Next time I'm on the lazy river, I will grab a tube for you :) DEFINITELY take your kids to the one near you.<br />That picture of my daughter truly takes my breath away. She is a natural in front of the camera - thank you so much for your kind words!<br />Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-36437513249871384452016-06-25T23:37:48.203-05:002016-06-25T23:37:48.203-05:00I miss Ruby terribly still, but I THINK I'm ab...I miss Ruby terribly still, but I THINK I'm about ready for a new baby. I want another calico, so it may take awhile to find just the right one. The two boys will NOT be happy.<br />My favorite back scratcher was like a fork with the tines rounded and only about a quarter inch long, but I don't know whatever happened to it. The one I got is a little rough (it's a BEAR paw, after all...), so I think I'll be on the lookout for another forkish one.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-31324922985015870622016-06-25T21:43:09.702-05:002016-06-25T21:43:09.702-05:00Aw, a kitten.
