Weekend Pursuits....

With the temperature nearing 95 these past two days, we have been laying low except for hitting one very interesting Estate Sale, reading voraciously, and doing each others nails...thanks to manicurist Mollie.

Our previously mentioned neighbor, Florie, had given Tess a "little something" for her Back Place (the girls secret garden) for last years birthday. He suffered a little damage from the lawn mower, and today he returned, repaired and looking as lovely as ever. Of course, Tess captured his return...

This, by the way, is a part of their Back Place...

And to top off the evening, the girls, along with friend Margaret, took a walk over to North School Park where they could hear the nearby Frontier Days Festival concert without having to deal with the crowds. The night's performer was Rick Springfield of "Jessies's Girl" fame...

Ending the evenings festivities...cooling McDonald's M&M McFlurrys for all.
