July?

Now that it's the first weekend in August, I've been wondering where July went. Here is a quick update of what went on here during July.

Hunter and I visited his grandparents in Hilton Head for the Forth. We had a blast! And when we couldn't go fishing, we rented jet skis with Janet, Steve, and Rob and rode around in the Calabogie Sound. It was so fun and Hunter loved jumping the wake of the big boats. It was my first time to drive one and I must admit, I was not very good at it. I let Hunter drive the majority of the time and I just hung on for dear life! On the Forth, we watch fireworks from the boat. Here is one with Red, White, and Blue lights.

Now Lucy is a Salty Dog.One day I felt I was running a zoo. I woke up to Lucy barking to go outside. When I opened the door there were two other dogs in the back yard. One had a collar and I called the owner and she came to get him. They lived in the neighborhood and she said her kids had let him out. The other dog had a collar, but no tag and hung around the house ALL DAY. Once Hunter got home we took Lucy and said dog for a walk to see if anyone knew who he belonged it. A car pulled up and the girl jumped out and took "Louie" home. She didn't thank us for keeping him all day or for listening to him whine at the door or anything. Just picked him up and left. Well, the next morning, he was BACK! Now we knew his name, but not where he lived. I got up with Hunter and when he left for work, I circled the neighborhood looking for the car that picked him up. Of course, it was not to be found. Louie stayed at the house all day again, whined, and slept in our newly landscaped bushes. No one came looking for him that night, and he was still there in the morning. I thought, "Ya know, I'm all about helping other dogs, but this one has a home and his parents don't seem to care that other people are taking care of him all day." Besides all that, one of this feet were hurt and he was limping. I felt terrible, but I wanted him to be out of our bushes. I couldn't take Lucy outside to potty without him all over her and then trying to get back into the house. It was crazy. On top of all that, we had this turtle show up. Lucy had no idea what to think of it. And now we have a tree frog that seems to like our house. I don't mind him as long as he doesn't jump on me. I wish he would eat the gnats!
Mr. Turtle slowly made its way back toward the creek that is behind our house. And later that day Louie did finally leave. I'm not sure where he went, but I hope he made it home. Lucy helped fold laundry as usual. I think the nice, clean, warm towels are her favorite.
The Chinese place sent me a great fortune. I know it will come true soon! I can't wait to have a new car, I just have to find out if I will have an income to get it.

So that was our July in a nut shell. Hunter has been busy with projects with work and I'm in the waiting period for my scores. Thanks to all that sent their prayers my way. I definitely felt them and continue to pray for the results to be good. I don't even care about the score I just hope I passed!
