Snake Peeks in Janene's Glass Sliding Door!!

"This snake is looking for Tori inside the house......LOL!!

She went to take the dogs to the pen and a snake ran over her foot so she ran back to the house and the sliding door was locked so she ran to the front door and this snake was hitting the glass...he followed her scent to the door. He is a black racer.....Needless to say she will not be helping me clean up the limbs from the wind the other night!!"

News From My Niece in Michigan

"Here is a picture of me with my ski friends at our June picnic. I have been a member of this group for 4 years. It was a lot of fun. I will probably be skiing with these guys this winter up North. I will be on the canoe trip with them this summer. We canoe on the Osabo River. Say Hi to everyone and hope all is well. Your pig roast looked like fun and I am sure everyone had a great time. Sorry I missed it.

I am taking a pottery class 2 time a week and am really enjoying it. Tonight it the red wings game so if we win we get the Stanley cup one more time."
