Fombes visit us in Arkansas

Weekend of June 14 and 15.

My aunt Angeline, her husband, and my 3 cousins visited from Oklahoma.

Roxy - my miniature schnauzer. She's 3 years old and really sweet. I adopted her on June 13. My cousin, Feh, loved her as soon as she saw her and dotted on her throughout the weekend.
The boys make a chocolate cake.
Feh can't wait to taste it!!
We watch "The Amazing Zorro".


We had planned a boat trip as a treat for our weekend guests. The boat belonged to the Clarks - Baha'i friends of ours. We went over to their house by 11am to clean out the boat and prepare for the trip.

Feh and I play with Max.
With Ma Angeline

Samgwa
Samgella on the hammock

Max wants to get on as well
Ma Angel tries to find a balance!:-)

Samgwa is going down!!:-)
Feh is content
Will I get on? We'll see...
Samgwa helps
The guys clean out the boat. It hasn't been on the lake since last summer so it is kinda dirty
Don't fall in!!
Heading out...

Aaron and Ma Angie stretch out
Uncle Georgie is ready to swim. Alan is steering the boat.
Feh and I feel secure in our life jackets
Callin (left) and his cousin (Gabriel). Callin is a good water skiier
Ah, the wind and water spray feel good on the face

Swimming time!


Feh comes out of the lake, content.
Ma Angie and I relax and soak in the afternoon sun
The boat going at full speed!! It felt great!
Ma Angie was exhilarated and let out a "whoa" everytime the boat jumped on waves


Uncle Georgie climbs back in after swimming. Aaron just got in too!
Callin is great at water skiing
His dad steers while he skiies side to side
Uncle Georgie watches from the back of the boat
Aaron and I relax in the back
Mother and daughter
The boat is just gliding now after a giddy few minutes of high speed over the waves
Eating at home
At our own little pond in front of our home

    Mirabel!!! How na, dear? How is hubby? Good to read from you. The first dog, grey with red highlights is mine. Her name is Roxy. She's a miniature schnauzer with a very sweet disposition.
    Thanks for your compliments on our home; we are enjoying it. Aaron is right here and I'll pass on your greetings.
    Take care, girl. ~Jay
