Random Recent Friday Faces

   Hi everyone. Happy first Friday in July. Today I'm joining Nicole for  Friday Face Off and Gillena for Friday Lunch Break. I found some recent faces in my photos and thought I would share them today.

   My husband came across this fun sock monkey while cleaning some bins in the garage. He was a gift that a teaching friend made back when I was pregnant with my daughter  34 years ago. I threw him in the washing machine, and I must say he looks pretty good. The last time I saw my daughter, I returned him to his rightful owner.

   A few weeks back the dock needed to go into the water at my mother-in-law's house. Here's 3 of the 4 guys who were putting it in. From left to right is my sister-in-law's husband, their son-in-law and then my husband. The fourth guy was my son-in-law who was doing the on-land part. I also can't forget Mr. Pete's face. He was waiting  impatiently for them to finish and put the steps in so he could go swimming.

  Tomorrow is the July 4th Independence Day holiday as you might know. Tomorrow's plan is to rebuild the deck that connects into this dock, and these 4 guys will be back to work again.

   While having an off-work moment, my husband looked my way. I was lucky and captured a good photo.

   Also a few weeks back some friends our ours were up in our area from their home in North Carolina. We all met up for dinner at a restaurant in Manchester (New Hampshire) and posed for a photo. I've known my friend for 48 years, longer than I've ever known my husband. It's too bad she and her husband  moved south (although they love it down there) because the 4 of us really meshed, and I miss having them around.

   I can't forget my favorite canine faces either.

 For several weeks my husband's boat sat in the back yard while he cleaned it. He loves his boat, and he babies it.  Now it is back at the marina , not in the water, but we park it in a field at the marina for the summer. We put it in and then pull it out of the ocean every time we go to use it, which is not any trouble at all. Paying to leave the boating in the field is considerably less than paying for a slip or a mooring, and a lot of people do that.

   The dogs also love going for boat rides. Here's Maddie in HER seat on our first fishing trip of the season.

    My next photo is from ice cream Sunday. It's tough when you have an ice cream window only 5 minutes from the house. We decided several years ago that if we made a plan to go on Sundays, then the temptation to go other days wasn't so much because you know Sunday isn't that far off.

    This cone is a small sized one, so I would hate to see how big a large is. 

    The pups also enjoy car rides a lot. Especially on ice cream Sundays. 

   Maddie doesn't like cones, so Pete gets the end of my husband's cone. I always get my  ice cream in a cup so it doesn't end up all over my shirt, and Maddie gets to lick out the cup instead.

   Wishing everyone a wonderful start to the weekend. And if you are celebrating July 4th, I hope you have a super holiday too.
