Hello friends!

Hi, My name is Shawn and I have been neglecting my blog!

Yes, I must confess I am a blog neglecter.. that isn't a word!

I can not use the excuse that I have been too busy, was on an extended vacation, life threw me a curve ball, work has been hectic...Nope..No Excuse!

I have enjoyed reading you blogs and making comments. I have enjoyed my trips through Face Book, keeping up with my family and friends. I have enjoyed Dogs with Blogs and Parents. Actually, I have posted on my other two blogs more frequently...and maybe that is the problem. Too many blogs..not enough bright ideas.

For now, just a quick update:

Summer is flying by..where is the time going?  The Grand Kids come over  Wednesday nights as often as they can....as they grow older, their schedules get busier.

Three of the granddaughters!

Some of the special people in my life!

There have been a few festivals in Loveland  but we missed my favorite, The Cherry Pie Festival, last weekend.  Last Saturday our sweet little mancat, Cecil, was diagnosed with Pancreatitis..you can read about it here.  he is much better now but he gave us quite a scare.

We did make it to the Loveland Summer Fest.

There were several vendors.

There was music at the lagoon all day, ranging from bluegrass to rock.

Lovelander's Rockin' to the music

Ta Daaaaaaaaa!

Winston enjoyed his first SummerFest

I have been training for my Marathon....when I started I wondered how I would ever run the miles.
Last Saturday I ran/walked 20 miles..you can read about that here! Was it hard..Oh yes, but what a thrill when it was over! I can not wait to do the marathon in October!


We have enjoyed our family, our Fur babies and the wonderful hot summer! I don't know about you, but our area has experienced more thunder storms than usual.  Our newest, Winston, is freaked out by the thunder boomers. He shakes so hard it breaks my heart. Last week I ordered a Thunder shirt which is supposed to help with his fear. I will keep you posted!

The Thunder Shirt!

That is about it for now,  I hope you are having a wonder Summer..Enjoy every moment!
