Reason to smile

Flowers always make me smile. These, especially.

The lilies smell divine. The roses are a fabulous shade of deep, hot pink.

Now as long as my brown thumb doesn't do anything dumb, maybe I can enjoy them for a few days longer!

Prepping for the season

Cheer camp ended just before Z left for California for a month.

After three straight 7-hour days of practices that left her sore, tired and unbelievably excited about the upcoming season, she and the LMS 6th grade squad posed for a group photo.

Then they swam. Ate a lot. Goofed around as a group. And went to their respective homes and collapsed.

Football starts August 18. Go Tigers!
