Celebrating with great friends!

Today my friends Lisa Burr and Jennifer Wamboldt took me to the new restaurant at Dana Park called Bar Tepo. It was really good. K if you know these gals they love long lunches like I do. We made ourselves comfy in a long booth. Lisa mentioned she was having a hot flash and the waitress dropped a full glass of ice water on her lap! Wow that took care of that problem! LOL

We enjoyed lunch {and of course Dessert} for 3 hours! Oh life is rough! To all the Moms that your kids are starting kindergarten life does get better!

Just another Sunday afternoon at the Coffey Grounds

Here are some photos that Ashley and I caught of Andrea playing with the dogs, as we are waiting patiently for Jamie's yummy Sunday dinner.  All I could say is don't break my vases on the coffee table!

Andrea found her new hiding place!  Only she could fit under the coffee table like that!

Bailey trying to get to her owner Andrea!

Peeps!

There's peeps in the neighborhood!  The next door neighbors are dog sitting and our nosey dogs wanted a look.  When Bear saw it was a Chocolate Lab he wanted all the way over the fence to play.  Jame is holding back our 110 pound dog!  Boy oh Boy!

A great day!

It was a great day.  It all started with my girls {Andrea & Ashley} taking me to breakfast at Wildflower.  Then I was invited to join my brother David, Sister Maryann and my sweet Mom for lunch at Cracker's. In the afternoon I received a beautiful Edible fruit bouquet from my dear friend Diana.  I received many calls and emails all day long.  We escaped for a dinner together as a family to the new Flancer's.  I know Jamie isn't much on going out on the week days so I picked some place close to the house.  I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many loved ones.  

It was a blessed day!

'Nuff about Arizona!

Wow is it ever gonna get cool? I am so ready for it to be Halloween only for the weather! I Hope your summer is going great. To the nieces and nephews that started school Monday we are thinking of you and have a great school year!
