Hunting in your own back yard

Well, here's the story. You can't see a whole lot in this picture, but, we spent lots of $$ on flowering plants and shrubs in our back yard. The rabbits have managed to eat about half of them already - so Bob is fighting back! Those pesky rabbits.

Happy Birthday to Cindy

Here are most of the Rahrich girls - although we're missing one of the best - Sara. Now, this picture is being posted in honor of Cindy's birthday - she is the leader of all of us! Cindy - or, Cinsia as she is well known in our family - had a birthday yesterday. Sorry, I missed it by a day.

Hope you had a great day Cinsia!

Here are the girls: Back Row: Cindy, Janay, Chris, myself, Barb
Front Row: Kate, Tessa, Melissa, Mary
Oh, and let's not forget Honey (dog).

Rain, Rain, Go Away.....Please!

If anyone is wondering why we would have 2 buckets and a plastic bin sitting together in our bedroom...... we have a leaky roof. And, it's raining to beat hell today. All you can do is laugh - it's not worth crying about. Bob is leaving work early today -- probably around 9:00am to make sure the buckets don't overflow!

Denny

We all lost a good person last week. It's scary to know that you or a loved one may not wake up in the morning.

Bob worked with Denny for 20+ years, and they were buddies. It was a shock to hear that he passed away.

Say 'I love you' often - and give hugs!

Pear-y

Most of our friends and family have a pet of some type. Bob and I wanted something with a bit less maintenance - something that didn't bark, shed, poop....etc. So, here -- meet Pear-y. We named him that because he is a pear tree, non fruit bearing. But, if you look real close you might find a couple of gifts that we've given him hanging in the tree somewhere. We bought him a pear, and a partridge :)

What! You buy your pets gifts, don't you?

John Prine

Barb, Kate, Kevin, Bob, Jerry and myself all saw John Prine in concert last night -- it was a kick. I'm going to invite him to come up for Dad's birthday this summer, it would sure make a great 'sing-a-long' with him there!

Happy Birthday to Allison and Donna

Two really fine people are enjoying a birthday today -- Allison and Myself! What are the chances that I would get to share this special day with one of my favorite people!!!!

Happy Birthday Allison! Enjoy a great day :)
