Stop and Stare
Last Friday, after I had spent most of the day with my Mom, I came home and let the dog out. The weather was so beautiful that I ran back inside and picked up my camera. My plan was to go outside and find anything and everything to photograph around my apartment. There was the most amazing sunset. The type make you just stop and stare in awe. I quickly jumped in the car to chase down a spot where I could really see it and photograph it’s beauty. I found a spot on brand new street that has no development…no building to block my view. I took photos and then laid on the top of my car watching the sun go down. Incredible time to ponder life and God’s Glory. Enjoy!
Labor Day Weekend Adventures!
Adventures is right word for it! My Labor Day weekend was fantastic. On Saturday, we drove out to the lake early in the morning. We took it easy and relaxed in the beautiful weather. That night we had what my family has coined a “Fred Moss” barbecue. Fred Moss is my late grandfather. He made the best barbecue chicken, sausage, potato salad, and baked beans! SO good. I ate so much I was in pain. I had been talking all day about a bonfire in the fire pit….So we gathered wood, sticks, and leaves. Sitting by a fire on a crisp summer night has to be one of the most relaxing activities EVER. Loved it! On Sunday, We put the boat in the water and soaked up some more sun! Millie went for a swim and didn’t like it very much but loved being a boat dog. She took quite well to sitting up front and letting the wind whip her around. After that, we watched the Red Raiders fight for their first win against SMU! Wreck ‘EM Tech! Below are a few pictures!

After ALOT of peer pressure and persuasion…She convinced my dad to join in!

Tomorrow is Friday!
Lately, I have felt as if everyday is groundhog day. I wake up… take the dog out…feed her….get ready…work…home….let the dog out…feed her….RUN…..Shower…Bed. Then it starts all over again. I can’t tell you how excited I am that tomorrow is Friday. It isn’t just any Friday. It is the Friday before a three day weekend! YAHOOOOO. Labor Day weekend is bittersweet because it is the unofficial end of summer and it is a holiday. I am headed to the lake for relaxing, boating, eating, sunning, running, and watching football. I am so elated for each and everyone of those activities because it is breaking my groundhog day mold. Can’t wait! On a somewhat related note… I have had my dog for a little less than a year now. We have settled into a nice routine but are still working on training as she was a rescue. She has a habit of running off if you let her outside without a firm grip on the leash. I experienced this habit for the first time at the lake and I along with my Mom chased her all over until finally capturing her. This weekend I plan to take her swimming in the lake. She has never been swimming since I have had her and I am not sure that she ever had the chance to swim before I got her. SHOULD be interesting. If she can swim as fast as she runs….I am in deep $&*%. This is Millie!
My hope is that everyone has a great Labor Day weekend as well. If you happen to be a football fan….Happy football watching. I personally am so excited to see the new season of Texas Tech Football. GO RED RAIDERS!
