It's hot outside, and other stuff

Here's an update on life at the Brown household: 1. It's hot outside. I came home from work yesterday to see that Rick and Taylor melted, leaving only their clothes behind.

Truth be told...we had a water leak that both Taylor and Rick were involved in working. And I guess I've trained them well enough to leave all dirty clothes outside.

2. Our Cowboy Group (and here) threw Rick a birthday party. (#50 if anyone is counting... but none of us are!) Below is a group picture. We had so much fun! Thanks, everyone, for making it happen!

3. We uncovered another foot of patio that was hiding underneath the overgrowth. Yes!

4. A cute little kitty adopted us. Here is a picture of him on Craig's lap. Craig is on the phone trying to convince Carolyn that they needed another kitty. 18 hours later (and a trip to Dallas and back)... kitty returned. A bit road-weary, but ready to keep searching for his new home. After a bit of work, we found it a purrfect home! I don't have a picture (Allison, need pics!) but little Halle named him "KC" after Kristen/Collin, since Collin and I delivered him to Halle.

5. Father's Day. Collin and Taylor gave their dad a new Craftsman tool set. They did good!

I tried to give Dad a kitty for Father's Day... it didn't work.

6. We're driving to Tulsa (ohhhhh, ahhhhh) Wednesday evening for a business presentation on Thursday. Then, to celebrate Rick's birthday on Thursday, we're returning to the place of his birth. Cowtown - historic Fort Worth - for an overnight celebration! Pictures to follow... maybe.
