Best Part of a 3 Day Weekend ...

... the following week is only a four day work week.

Update in bullets (and a bunch of photos):

(As always, for you Sunshine, a fan of bullets.)

• Ben is doing fine, spoiled like a sick kid, but fine.

• Mike leaves this Thursday for the World Poker Tournament in Vegas. I hope he wins big.

• I am diggin' these zori, thanks again Deb.

• Ree (you Hotfessional) and I are excited about BlogHer coming up. She and I are sharing a room and that's about all we'll say. What happens in Chicago stays in Chicago. (Unless it can fit in a carry-on. )

• My Memorial Day weekend ... no surprise here.
  

Don was the only one to catch a walleye all weekend.

I really DO fish, that's my rod.

"Hey Don, take a picture of me fishing for my blog please."

Mmhumm, I fish in the blur.
(Yes jeans from head to toe, it was a cool crisp morning.)


Don fishes and naps, such a multi-tasker.

Steve and Mary

Ummm, N and D


Captain Don and Captain Steve


Just before sunset.

ZORI

Zori?

NOW what is Nancy talking about?!!

Debbie (lives in Japan), at Etc., Etc.,Etc. had a contest to win a pair.

Zori are hand-made cloth slippers made from old kimono's scraps.


She explained they are quite uncomfortable at first, but as they are worn and washed, they conform to your feet and feel won.der.ful.

She is right, they are un.com.for.table !


But, I'm going to wear them and wash them and probably get so attached to them you'll see me wearing them to work!

She also enclosed a lovely note with sentiments that only a kindred sister share.

Look at his Goddess doll she MADE!

The denim is from her jeans, buttons from her bracelet, and a reminder of the Goddess in each of us. Straight from the heart and something I will always cherish. Thank you Debbie for my "Boot Scootin' Goddess"

Internet friends are amazing ... even from thousands of miles away!
