It's A Great Day To Be Alive

This past week has been a long one. It was off to a bad start when I came down with a terrible stomach bug on Sunday and was out of commission until Wednesday. It then moved on to John who was sick through Friday, only to be followed up by Ollie getting it. Ollie is a trooper. She was sick all day Saturday and by Sunday, even though she was still running a slight fever, she was ready to go play. So were we!
John, along with my dad and our friend Hal played in a golf tournament (and won) in Elba. This is a tournament in which they play in ever year. The best part about this particular tournament is that Hal's wife and my very good friend, Laura comes to visit. Laura and Hal are our friends from Freeport and we miss hanging out with them (we're working on getting them to move here).

It is mine and Laura's little tradition to go antique/junk shopping. Of course we hit Peterson's for a little wheelin and dealin and also the new 3 Notch Emporium where Lesley and I have a booth. If you have yet to visit the Emporium, I suggest you go, but that a whole nother post.
On Sunday, since Ollie was feeling better, we headed up to Gantt Lake for a little boat riding. It was a beautiful day. Ollie loves the water but HATES wearing a life jacket. I am still working on finding one that is a little more comfortable (I am open to suggestions). 



The life jacket is "on" her.

All in all, we had a wonderful day and we are looking forward to more.

Sweet girl! Don't you know our children are going to be little "river rats" just like we were...are!
