This weekend Aaron and I decided to go camping. We dropped Birdie Boy off at Auntie Cheryl and Uncle Tim’s and took the dogs for a little adventure.
We had intended to find a spot at Frying Pan lake, however, we found that it was a marshy swamp like place with no way to get to the water. So we ended up camping off a forest road near Timothy Lake.
The dogs ended up being miserable. We had to tie them up while me made camp and got a small fire going. Leila did not like the fire part at all. They had a long rope, but they couldn’t sit next to us while we cooked and they didn’t have their couch, slightly spoiled.
After dinner we headed into the tent and Aaron taught me how to play poker. Max immediately conked out in the tent, but Leila Lu was not a happy camper.She was in constant guard dog mode and just sat facing the door all night and growled. She finally did fall asleep for about an hour. At about 2:30, I needed to go. Leila woke up completely freaked out and disoriented. She was so unhappy. So we packed up camp at three in the morning and decided to head home. We got home around six am, showered, and all four of us jumped into bed and slept until eleven. And so ended our little trip. Here are a few pictures. Enjoy :-)

Unhappy puppy :-(
We couldn’t get the dogs to face the camera.
God Bless and have a great week ! Love Lauren
It's official... Hubby is now a fourth year dental student. We officially have one year left and then we will be done with school. It's crazy how quickly the time has gone by, although sometimes it does seem like he has been in school forever. I can't wait till he's done and can start working.
My Hubby, isn't he handsome :-)
I have been peppered with questions about my "Hair of Great Enormity." How did I do it? What is it? Is it my hair? And so on and so forth. So, without further adeu, here is how "Lady D," as the hair was named by Tara, came into being.
As promised, here are more pictures from the ball last night.

The Belgian Draft Mare Puna. We were supposed to have carriage rides but it rained so they allowed us to pose with her instead.

Today was a mumbly grumbly Wednesday, yes I stole that from The Hungarican Chick. It was just one of those days that started off on the wrong foot and has kept going. Nothing major has happened just minor annoyances, bumps, and scrapes along the way. From computer issues, which seems to be never ending around here, to Marmoleum tile colors that a client designed their whole scheme around being discontinued, without warning, to more computer issues. Grrrr.
So I've decided I'm having my own mental 18th century picnic and you are all invited.... Enjoy!
You are cordially invited to The Lady's first annual Mental Vacation and 18th Century Picnic.
Time: Whenever you are just too stressed
Where: Petite Trianon, of course
Who: Any and All... Including Marie Antoinette and her crew, Georgianna and a few of the Ton, and maybe Queen Elizabeth I (I know wrong century, but it's my mental vacation) and whomever else you feel needs to be there.
I think I will wear the above ensemble.
There will be relaxing boating with Marie and of course Lamballe.
Champagne or fizzy juice will flow, your choice of course.
And I think the above should some up what will be served.
Here is where we shall meet.... On the grounds of the Petite Trianon by the gazebo.
