Charlie...say cheese!

Ever try to get your dog to pose for a pic? Well, the other night while at our friends' house, Lisa stuck some ears on Charlie. Then, we had a few takes! It was near impossible to get Charlie to say "Cheese!"...

First...Dynamo said, "Charlie, stay...."

Charlie yawned!

Dynamo: "Stay..." 
Charlie: "Really, Dad?"

Dynamo: "Charlie, look at Momma..."
Charlie: "Who?"

Dynamo: "No, other way..."

Me: "Charlie, treat!"
Charlie: "Who, me?"

Ta Da!!

Come see me tonight!

Maybe you'd like to come out and experience Friday for the Arts and support St. Joseph School?

Holiday Market Pics

Last Saturday, Charlie and I went to the Petersburg Farmers Market!

It was a busy day for all of the vendors! A little chilly, but a great time!

The Market runs every Saturday all year! I only go once each month, but every weekend you can find the regulars!

Happy Shopping!

Doing a little baking...

I guess not the baking you were thinking of right?

 More lovely lavender cupcakes are ready to go home with you this Friday!

A lovely shade of purple in my opinion!!!

They look good enough to eat right?

They are a fun gift for that person that has everything!

Only $6 each!!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Are you thinking tropical yet?

 Imagine the blue/green waters in the Gulf of Mexico!

This soap is so pretty and a top seller among men and women! 

If you haven't tried it, you should do so! It's a great fresh scent!

 So lovely and pretty with its two shades of green and just a hint of red!

Mountain Bike Monday - A lovely December day!

The day couldn't have been more beautiful on Sunday as we set out for our ride at the Park.



The weather was in the 60s and gorgeous! I exposed my white legs to the world in the beginning of December!! Yikes! I can't believe how warm it was!



We started out with the plan to do 22 miles of the Monster Cross Route!



The guys didn't have to do as much waiting for me as usual. I really think I'm getting faster and stronger.



We rolled pretty quickly together. It had been a long time since the trio had been together!



We wrapped up the day with a great ride! We all felt really good! Next week we add 5 miles onto the route!
