The Buzz Queen

Yesterday was cloudy but warm, so we packed Mattie up and headed to a little picnic spot on the river.

Kristanna was sitting playing in the sand - she just looked so pretty that I had to take about 80 pictures

Look at that skin! She’s almost 13 and not a blemish in sight! […]

Before the Mountie left, he installed my new favourite purchase.
I bought the Doggie Dooley off the internet a few weeks ago. (I really should have done some market research first, as I just found it on another site for $20 cheaper! Live and learn.)
