Almost Fathers Day - Pineapple Beef Teriyaki

Almost Fathers Day 

Below a very old photo of my Dad who would be  104 if he was still alive..

 We are having a BBQ for our's..

  Pinnaple Beef Teriyaki,  Burgers And real french fries... They insist on the real thing..

We had as usual a busy week the therapist came Tuesday and I shampooed all the carpets in the house Tuesday and Wednesday  we have seven rooms of carpeting UGH.. Plus watered every where real good and of course it rained during the night," figures.."

Our very dear friends Al and Nancy came for a visit on Thursday so we went to lunch at a micro brewery and took them on the tour around here and there.. It was fun having them visit.. although I wasn't the best because Sally hurt her self the night befor and was in a lot of pain so all I could think of when we came back here was taking her to the vet..

Sorry Al and Nancy I hope I didnt act to bad..

After they left I called the Vet right away and they took her in right away took x rays and of course its complicated she has a bad disk and its like having a pinched nerve type of pain.. Tomorrow Im taking her to a chiropractor for dogs.. yesterdays visit was $2 hundred 25 dollars and last week Abbie's vet visit was over two hundred, did I mention Abbie is being treated for stones so all in all its been close to 5 hundred dollars to the Vet in a week..OH the joys of having two dogs.. But there worth it and I wouldn't do it any other way..

Today Cindy, Julie and I went shopping for the big day Sunday.
