4th of July at Palmer Lake

The bulk of the day was spent at Palmer Lake with darn near the entire family and a few friends! Burgers for dinner then fireworks at the Club for the balance of the day. A good time was had by all.

Snack when everyone got home

Meet "Bonnie Lass" !

After roughly 30 years without a sheepdog (we did raise German Shepherd guide-dog puppies and have a Doodle in the meantime), we're very excited to welcome Bonnie Lass to the household. Her name derives from Scottish/French meaning something like "Pretty Girl." She's going on 3 years old and weighs in at about 65 pounds. She comes to us from Bugaboo Old English Sheepdogs right here in Colorado Springs. Most of the older photos below were taken in the 1970s and early 1980s when we still lived in the Kansas City area. Pictured at the bottom is Jamie's family's sheepdog, Harriclown Hornblower, in the late 1960s or so. He would accompany Jamie and Lynn on most of their every-Thursday-night walks/dates on the Country Club Plaza (over 50 years ago!). As you might imagine, Harriclown drew much attention.

Our first meet-n-greet with Bonnie
about a week ago.

Way back when... (from here on down)

This is the dog that started it all back when Jamie
was in high school, Harriclown Hornblower.

4th of July Seder

The topic for our Family Dinner this week was the 4th of July. We covered the basics so the kids would be a little more prepped for the holiday in a few days. For more on the program, see this Bonus: 4th of July Seder

Starting July 5th we'll be in our 250th
year which will be a huge celebration
next year. See: America250.org

A Day at Palmer Lake

The whole Regusci clan took to the lake today! Even the foster kids went and everyone had a grand time.

Breakfast Out

Breakfast with Nana and Papa can be fun, especially when there are butter tubs to stack! By the way, New Day Cafe on North Gate is a new fave.

Graduation Road Trip

The Reguscis set sail by land on a trip to California principally to share a graduation party with some California friends. Two days on the road, three days there, and 2 days back. The two families have already celebrated several graduations and they've got about 10 more to go.
