You remember Dad’s foot was hurting before we went to Houston for Mom’s checkup.  He went to see the doctor when we got home.  He has a fracture in his foot.

Dr. Pokey gave him a huge steroid shot in his foot and he has to wear a boot till Oct.  Indy thinks he is a therapy dog.

Poor Dad.  Good thing though…the Daddy Leg Lounge (recliner) is open all day long. ~ Indy and Lucy

After the 4th, July was filled with the dog days of summer: catching some rays,

admiring the garden,

playing with toys,

and watching for intruders.

It’s a dog’s life, right? ~ Indy and Lucy

As soon as Mark, Wendy, Bill, Lesley arrived in late June, we made our visit to the Blue Whale to deliver our rocks.

The whale is located about 60 miles north of us and is a Route 66 icon.  People from all over the world visit daily.  The rocks we painted have our location.  Wendy’s rocks are actually from Bali.

Note we are absent from the pictures because we were home helping Dad get the hamburgers ready.

Till next year, Blue. ~ Friends of the Blue Whale

Our staff (Mom) has been on vacation from writing all summer.  We are so sorry for the inconvenience.  Hmmm.  Where did we leave off?  Oh yeah, we had just returned from Door County.  Here we are on our final day.

Four of these people would eventually turn up in Oklahoma:  Wendy, Mark, Lesley and Bill.  When we returned home our flowers were blooming.

Mom totally loves the wine cooler she bought at Gills Rock Pottery in Door.

Lantana is the perfect plant for Oklahoma summer heat and humidity.

Mom also painted our rock to take to the Blue Whale when everyone gets here.  More catch up later.  We have missed you guys. ~ Indy and Lucy

During the summer where I live(Oklahoma), the temps are hot and humid.  Mom plans our outdoor time for early am and even then she restricts it.  Well, me anyway because she says I don’t know when to stop.

Here’s a list of things to watch for just in case.  Don’t forget to drink plenty of water too. ~ Lucy
