Our most recent event was with Lance.  Lance is an avid bicycle rider and loves to ride to work. He recently started working at Dealer.com in Burlington.   This past Thursday night on his way home from work, he was hit by a car.  Lance had the right of way and the car hit him. Nothing worse than getting those types of calls from a loved one.

Lance could have died from this accident if he didn't have on a good helmet.  Even with the helmet he still received a concussion.  A good reminder to everyone who rides to wear a helmet.  It could save your life.

Lance was in ICU until yesterday afternoon and was released this afternoon.  He has a concussion, cuts on his nose, a swollen nose, big bump on his chin with stitches and a tear on his liver. It could have been a lot worse if he did not have a helmet on.  We have received lots of calls and well wishes for him and thank everyone for their care and concern.

Chrissy, Lance's girl friend, is keeping a good eye on him while he heals.

Well, we had a summer that started off with great happiness with Cody and Seth's wedding and are wrapping up the end of summer with some sadness.

Indy, our beloved lab, passed away at the end of August.  He was almost 12 years old.  Indy was Jake's buddy and they walked just about every day all year long.  Even now that he's been gone a few weeks, I still look for him and I've even gone to the door to call him in.  Brook the Vet sent a nice card and said he was just one of those dogs that leaves an impression.

My Friend Robin has brought in all of the fall decor and her shop.  Robin owns a beautiful shop called Sugar and Spice in Ticonderoga, NY. The shop is just bursting with fall color and decor.  I especially love all the creatures in the shop for Halloween.  I love the fabric pumpkins, witches and all of the prints that have glowing lights contained within them.  Here are a few photos:
