Summer's here!

It is definately summer here in southwest Oklahoma. The temps have already reached beyond 100 degrees on several days. We are so thankful to have a pool and enjoy spashing around on these hot summer days.
This month, my inlaws have been to visit us from Florida on their way to and from Colorado Springs. They are retired and purchased a camper about 5 years ago and love to travel.
We enjoyed having them with us for two different weeks. And Jim's sister, Jennifer, was here last week as well. She brought her new dog, Toby, a 3 year old golden retriver with her and we feel in love with him. He is the best dog, don't tell Colby, our 11 year old beagle, I said that though. He doesn't shed and he is just the most lovable, kind dog ever!
Jim's parents have been pet hospice for both of Jennifer's elderly dogs the past few years. They had to put the last one down to rest a few months ago. Knowing that they wanted to have a younger dog, we found the perfect one for them. Our good friends here in Altus had a litter of 5 and we, along with Jennifer gave them a puppy for their anniversary and summer birthday presents. We got to enjoy the new puppy, "Grits", while they were here.
The girls have a break from cheerleading after their summer cheer camps, VBS was last week and next week is Drivers Training for Rachel. Yes, she is going to be driving! I can't believe it either.
Just alittle of whats going on out here in the country. hope you all are having a wonderful summer. if you are traveling through Oklahoma or North Texas, give us a call.....we'd love to have some visitors.
