Long time no see

After over a year we finally get Di to come and stay.  In true tradition we head to La Hacienda for Mexican food and ultra strong margaritas!  The next morning I was running at 6am and my little head was pounding!
The plan for the weekend was a Greek Festival down the road followed by a pool party at Danny’s for Anne’s departure to Copenhagen and then on the Sunday meeting up with an old Aberdeen ex-colleague who happened to be in Houston, Joyce!

It was a stunning day – sunny but not humid and the ladies got to wear their straw hats!

Danny’s pool party ended up quite doggy – 3 so Gretchen was in her element.  She never went near the pool even though it was quite warm.  Danny cooked up a fine BBQ and I absolutely loved the BBQ’d quesadillas with melted cheese and tomato inside (licking lips now!)

DSC06921 Danny I like those lights hanging from the tree!

(note to self must buy some more inflatable toys for our pool!)

Di was very sweet bringing gifts, I got a lovely necklace and Gretchen got horsey – her favourite toy now!!  I haven't got a photo of her playing with horsey yet but will do soon.
On Sunday morning the three of us and Gretchen headed to the dog park for woof woof fun.  As usual Gretchen was out mingling and only paying part attention to us although Stuart has been working hard at improving her obedience and she is definitely better than she was.  Later Stuart and Di went to pick up Joyce from her hotel, doing a bit of shopping (turned out a bit more than a bit!) and then came over for our second BBQ and dip in the pool of the weekend.  It was great to see Joyce as the last time was at our wedding.
