It feels like summer already.

Just a sign of how hot it's really gonna get come August.

Happy weekend.

Friday Shoot Out ~ Scavenger Hunt

This is our first ever scavenger hunt.

The guidelines (thanks Monica) are:

* straight out of the camera, no editing.

* one photo per word.

* three words for each hunt.

* add a fourth photo if you can find all three hunt words in one (or just post this one photo)

* hunt area includes your town, surrounding areas, surrounding countryside.

The three words for this hunt (thanks Dawn Treader) are: round, square, triangular.

I haven't been in my town much this week so I shot where I was at, which was still in the state of Georgia, Andersonville.

Andersonville is north of us about 3 hours drive.

It's such a small town, if you blink you will miss it.

Round

First picture I took when I got out of the truck.

(Not sure who Peggy is??)

Square

In back of the truck to my left I found the square.

Triangle

The triangle was just perfect as I looked across

the street at the tiny post office.

This picture was taken across the street from the post office.
You can find all three shapes in this picture.

I promise they are here and you may have to blow this picture up to see the triangle but it's there.

Lunch Date

The weather was perfect yesterday and so we ate outside.

This was not my lunch date but the lady sitting at the next table next to us.

This furry friend ate at least 6 french fries.

He just kept begging for food and she kept feeding him.

I don't think that was his first rodeo.

This must be the way he has lunch every day.

Tasty Tuesday
A new recipe from the Ultimate Cake Mix Book.
These cookies were really interesting with the pretzels and oatmeal both in them.
They had a moist but crunchy texture.

Friday Photo Shoot Out ~ Yellow

I spotted something new in our town that was Yellow.

Perfect for this weeks Shoot Out!!

And Bentley Boy wasn't gonna believe this!

So I decided that we would take a ride in our town and show him

that something "yellow".

He so enjoyed the ride.

He loved all the sights.

(Isn't that ear sticking up the cutest thing, I love it!)

Down at the Car Wash on Community Rd. stands a

brand new "Yellow" Doggy Wash!!

Bentley wasn't as impressed as I thought he would be!

He didn't even want to get out of the truck.

And he sure didn't want to walk up this ramp!

In fact we had to push and pull him up into the tub.

The Sweetheart did the pulling and I did the pushing.

 Read the instructions first.
Look at the options:
Flee & Tick
Oatmeal
and
Deskunk.
Now since he has no flees and he has never even seen a skunk
and because he has sensitive skin, we chose the
Oatmeal  bath.
It even has a conditioner after the shampoo and rinse.
It was really nice.
It had nice warm water.
Even a blow dryer.

          I believe he was looking for a way to escape and it was a good thing that he was hooked to the tub.

I took a towel to dry him a little bit more than just the blow dryer.

What a fun good time for $5.00!

If it wasn't bad enough that there was a wet dog and dog smell in the back seat,

I smelled like wet dog too!

Oh well, we have a nice clean Bentley Boy.

And I was glad that we were in the Sweetheart's truck and not mine :-)

Surprise Package

The dogs were being the good guard dogs that
 they are and were raising the roof this morning!
I go to see what they are barking at and see the
Man in the little Brown Suit getting back in his UPS truck.
Okay, I'm thinking, 'what did I order now'?
I look out on the porch and there sits a box.
I pick it up and think, it sure is heavy.

What a nice surprise!
I open the box to find these Shirley J products.
I won the giveaway over at "What Ever Dee Dee Wants"
And I am sure excited to try these products.
I've never had them before.
I have a baby shower on Saturday.
I will be taking some of the food.
I will use some of these products and let you know how things turn out.
I love entering to win things on blogs!
I've been a very lucky girl and won many different things!
Hope you are lucky today!
Smiles!

He Ain't Right

This brother in law came into my MIL's house

 

and saw these sitting on the counter, except it was the chicken flavor and not the duck.

He opened the pack and started eating them.

He had eaten several when my MIL noticed he was eating the dog treats.

She told him that he was eating dog treats and he held the package out and

 looked at it and said, "well dang, they are pretty good!"

He ate a few more before he closed the package.

He just ain't right.
