A day at the dog park

Today after Lauren & I had a nice girls day, (lunch, etc.) - she suggested we take Zach and Jake to the dog park for the afternoon.  So we loaded the boys up and attempted to wear them out.  They wore us out instead.  Those  boys love to swim and fetch!

Here's a little video of Jake.  :)

Change

Since I finished all of my chores yesterday, I got to play in my scrapbook room today.  Such a quiet, lazy day.  Lauren is working.  Erik is in Augusta, GA for a month working security at the Master's tournament at the Augusta National golf course. 

Sox waited patiently with his mouse while I was scrapbooking. 

Lee, being the wonderful husband that he is - went grocery shopping and made us shrimp for lunch.  Love that man!!

virtual piano

I've always wanted to take piano lessons.  I've done some checking around and $75.00 a month is about the best deal I can find.  That is out of the question!  I had a blast playing Patte's keyboard when I went to her house, but I just don't see how buying a keyboard fits into the budget anytime soon.  Soooo, I was playing around online today while I was home (still sick, blah) - and I found this virtual keyboard.  I found a group on facebook that posts letters in numbers that you can type into the computer keyboard and it sounds like songs on the piano.  It's about as close as I'm going to get to playing the piano.  I'm sure all the kids would love it - so I'm posting the link, and also a portion of the song "Greensleeves."
