School's out for the summer....

I miss being in college and having that statement really be true. sigh. But the good news is that I've got a lot of fun lined up for the next few months! I've already been to Napa, so you'd think that would be it for my plans....but it turns out my company is in high demand ;)

4th of July weekend will be spent with Natalie for her wedding in Northern Virginia! The ceremony and reception will be at the beautiful Whitehall Manor. I can't wait to see the reverse of this picture :)

July 23rd, we'll be leavin' on a jet plane for Laura Vogric's wedding in Amesbury, Mass, followed by a few days in ACK! Bummy is coming for a day, too!


After a busy July, I'll have to wait patiently for the end of August to come for a week at the beach. I'll be going with the Hilleary clan to Fenwick Island, DE, where they spent family vacations for years.

And to close out the summer, the Brickleys/Hillearys (and the Vogrics!) are going to see Jimmy! Can't wait!

New Landscaping


We added new features to our landscaping on the east side of the house recently. We Like it! Lisa's Dad made a miniature Brant Point Light House. We added some rip rap around it to complete the atmosphere, and stone for the beach.





Next big project will be pulling up and reseating the bricks in the side walk. Then we can put stone under all the plants along that side of the house. The mulch attracts termites, which are a big issue around here.



The pond gives us a little water sound, we just need to add some more rip rap around it for a finishing touch.
