A "Golden" Day on the Lake

It was a "Golden" day!

A Golden Retriever reunion with other Goldens and their owners, all from the same lineage as our Aeon.

The Syrah Golden Reunion 

July 5, 2014

We had a beautiful day on the lake with friends, old and new. It was a fun day, and the pups had a blast!  They did lots of swimming and playing together.  It was a perfect day, and what a perfect place to spend it!  The Host and Hostess live right on the lake and they were so gracious to invite all of us for a wonderful time at their place, along with all of our pups.  A Special "Thank you" to the Host and Hostess, along with our Breeder Hollie, for bringing us all together.  A great time was had by all!  Lots of delicious food brought by everyone to share as we spent the day together with our beloved golden babies, sharing stories, taking photos, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and the gorgeous day that it was!  Enjoy the photos from this memorable occasion.

  Dogs left to right: Anya, Rosie, Tucker, Jim, Dakota, Starlet, and Aeon.

Our Anniversary/My Birthday

Marty and I celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and my Birthday on this day. 

Today we mark thirty-two years of marriage together!

To:  My Hunkband Marty!

Wow, we celebrate thirty-two years together today!

We share so many memories, and there may have been days that we might question "how have we made it this long together?"  We have experienced hard times that pulled us to one another stronger and closer, as we've shared in life's journey together with love.  Sharing in good times and bad, that is what life and marriage is all about. Standing the test of time. Today is one of those really good days and a time that we can say "Hey we made it!", and be so very proud to have come this far and shared so much of our lives together.

We still hold hands and over the years we've walked miles together arm in arm or hand and hand.  You still make me smile, and melt my heart too when you look into my eyes.  My gentleman that still opens doors for me, looks out for me and keeps me safe.  I am comforted by your protection and I know you'll always have my back.  You have always been my rock when I've needed strength, my shoulder to cry on in times of sorrow, and through hard times, my soft place to fall.

Our friendship is and always has been the guide to our love for each other. Happy Anniversary to you and me, and may life bring us many more special moments together for each other to have and to hold from this day forward, for even better, less worse, richer, less poorer, less sickness and in good health, to cherish with even more love, til death do us part.

I Love You!

All my love, always...

Celebrating a Friend's Birthday!

A Happy Birthday with Friends!

*** *** *** 

It's always nice to celebrate good times together with friends.  We and our long-time friends who we have known for many years, enjoy meeting for dinner out occasionally at one of our favorite places, enjoying one of our favorite types of food, mexican food!  It's also a perfect place to celebrate together on special occasions too, so we shared in a birthday celebration with them by gathering at On The Border.  Hubby and I, along with the birthday girl and her husband, other family members and friends, had an enjoyable time there together with great food, drinks and laughs.

Speaking of drinks, I influenced others with my new version of the Strawberry Daiquiri, made with vodka instead of rum, which my Hubby named the Tamuiri, after me.  Most of the ladies chose to order one also, after having a little taste of mine!

We had a great time, which is easy to do since we always enjoy spending time with them, and their family.
Love them bunches!
