Retro Pepsi – my kind of drink. Last summer when they first introduced this, I tried one and was immediately transported back in time to this little country store in Clemmons, North Carolina, where I remember drinking Pepsi out of a glass bottle with a tube of peanuts floating in it. Kinda crazy since I haven’t thought of that old country store in years.

Dalliene’s dad brought back a glass spider he found on his recent trip to Moscow. Dalliene said it creeped her out so much that she wanted me to take it to my office – far away from her.

Had a good time at the Ragnar Relay this year.

The light was amazing on the mountains so I got my camera, got in my car and drove towards the lake to get a good perspective. When I arrived I realized that I had no memory cards for my camera. I went back home to get one and by the time I got back, the sun on the mountain was pretty much gone but was doing amazing things to the clouds in the sky to the west.

It’s amazing how good summertime makes things look. The garden is really growing.
The rose bush is taking over our house and producing hundreds and hundreds of roses.

Dalliene’s porch flowers are going crazy with super bright colors.



Apples on the apple tree.

Even a peach on the new peach tree.

Garden boxes finally growing vegetables after a long winter and several spring snow storms.
