Whew! June was so busy for me, but in great ways. My dear friends, Sally and Rachel, came to visit with their two daughters and we had such fun together. I hope the girls remember their trip to Tennessee fondly. Then, Darren and I were running Scrappy to the vet for his puppy shots and a neuter (he did great; he was running around wild the next day), plus getting him acclimated to Meadowbrooke Kennel with short visits. Meadowbrooke is where we take our pack when we're on vacation, and we love the staff there. They've been a lifesaver!
Next, it was on to Memphis where I helped conduct copy editor and designer training for the Commercial Appeal staff ahead of their switch to Saxotech and InDesign. When I got back from Memphis, we took a day to pack and sleep before heading to Seacrest Beach, Florida, for a week with my family. It was a wonderful month, but I am glad to be home with no pressing plans to make and plenty of time to read in my pajamas.
Our garden (and yard) looks terrible after a month of neglect and record-high temperatures. Today I got out there and yanked the fried plants and emptied pots full of debris, and gave everything a good watering. While I was busy, the little devil decided to play in the mud puddles around the beds. I looked over and he was joyously splashing and jumping in the water. Ugh! Had to add a dog bath to my list of chores today!
