Day 200, Saturday, July 19, 2025

 

Peyton sent me this picture of Blitz.  He said he was just sitting on the floor beside him.  I asked Peyton if he was getting ready to bite someone!

Day 199, Friday, July 18, 2025

 

We went for a drive to the sunflower field near Jubilee State Park.  Coco went with us and he loves to sniff everything he can get to.  After we left the sunflower field, we went to Dick Blick in Galesburg.  What a great little trip!

Day 198, Thursday, July 17, 2025

 

At night, Coco always goes in his kennel, by way of Jim saying, "Ready, Go!", and he runs so fast he almost hurts himself!  Why, because he knows he is going to get a carrot.  Then he waits for me to come and tell him good night, that he is the best boy and I picked the best puppy!  Lately, he has been turning one front paw under himself and the other front paw with the bottom of the kennel.

Day 197, Wednesday, July 16, 2025

 

Well the Cousin's Lobster Food Truck was in the Lowe's parking lot in Peoria, today. So we did some errands and had some lunch!  Yummy!!

Day 196, Tuesday, July 15, 2025

 

There was one lonely bloom on this bush along the path to Parkside this morning.

Day 195, Monday, July 14, 2025

 

Stacie fell down her steps about 6 weeks ago.  She was still having some pain, so she went to the Midwest Ortho walk in clinic.  She has a fracture and will have to wear a boot for 4 more weeks.  She will need to get an MRI, too!

Day 194, Sunday, July 13, 2025

 

Rob was cooking this weekend.  He smoked some bologna.  Who knew you could do that!?

Day 193, Saturday, July 12, 2025

We brought our 3 cars full of boxes twice to Stacie's new house.  Peyton helped us load and unload.  He brought all the boxes up from the basement.  He carried up the boxes to the storage area at the new house, too!

 

Day 192, Friday, July 11, 2025

 

Blitz looks like he is the best little kitty on the face of the earth.  He can be, but he also can flip the switch and be a butt head, too!

Day 191, Thursday, July 10, 2025

 

I honestly have thought about doing this in the last two weeks.  It is so humid in Central Illinois during July!

Day 190, Wednesday, July 9, 2025

 

We did a bunch of errands in Peoria, today.  We stopped for lunch at 5 Guys.  The flower beds along the drive by 5 Guys were blooming with these flowers!  So pretty!

Day 189, Tuesday, July 8, 2025

This is my plan and most of the time, I scrapbook every day.  Not all day, but that would be prime time!

 

Day 188, Monday, July 7, 2025

 

He really likes his new bed.  Lots of snoring coming from this guy!

Day 187, Sunday, July 6, 2025

 

Peyton came to mow this morning.  I spent some time weeding the flower beds.  This flower was so beautiful!

Day 186, Saturday, July 5, 2025

 

We had our fireworks display by Stacie and Evan, tonight!

Day 185, Friday, July 4, 2025

 

We got our donations from Parkside for the Johnny Mac Golf Palooza and Totes for Ta-Ta's.  Thanks for always supporting our events.

This is our second trip to Cousins Maine Lobster food truck!  I can smell the ocean when I'm eating this Connecticut Style Lobster roll!

Day 183, Wednesday, July 2, 2025

 

Elizabeth and I have been working on a project in the back room at Take Two.  Ashley is going to have a sale on August 2 on Kid's clothing!  Oh boy!

Day 182, Tuesday, July 1, 2025

 

Since Coco loved taking a nap with me on our bed and he has been sleeping on the couch, we decided to get him a puppy bed with a memory foam mattress.  I think he is pretty comfortable!  Any since this picture was taken, he has NOT jumped up on the couch!

Day 181, Monday, June 30, 2025

 

Hello Luke and Lily!  I am always so grateful to get pictures.  They live in Iowa, so we don't get to see them often!
