I like this photo. It was taken at our friend's place on 4th of July.
We are having cake very late tonight because Bob, who is also 50, forgot to turn the oven on before he put the cake in!
We went camping with 3 other families this past weekend. Although it rained on Saturday we had a fantastic trip. Lottie came face to face with a racoon eating mussels out on the tidal flats. She froze, and think was very relieved when I called her to me. Those 'coons' are well fed by both the tidal flats and marshmallows they steal in the camp ground, and I'm sure could do great damage to a dog. I had no idea that they swam, but Bob saw the one in the photo below enter the water and swim away.
