In the Heights

Tonight Evanne & Vic invited me to go to In the Heights at Players By the Sea, a cool little theater in Jax Beach. Music & Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, but easier to get a ticket to than Hamilton LOL.

After the show they did puzzles with Stella.

Backyard Snake

UGH! Stella caught her second snake! Apparently it's a harmless garter snake, but I had no idea what it was when I was trying to break up the fight. SO SCARY!!!

Here's the first snake Stella caught. Have I mentioned I HATE SNAKES?!?

Jacksonville Magazine Release Party at Kanine Social

On the road at sunrise ...

After work, I met up with Rob, Lauren, Tom & Holly at the Secret Supper Club & Jacksonville Magazine August Issue Release Party at Kanine Social.

JAX Magazine did a feature on Lauren's dog portraits & today someone is going to be a lucky winner.

I LOVE Stella's portrait!

There was even a pig at the Kanine Social ...

... & a Wheaten!

Update ... Beautiful Natty was found pregnant & abandoned in a dumpster & was rescued by her owners. She’s now a celebrity for winning “Best Trick” at Kanine Social & she won this portrait for being such a special little dog. Lauren did an awesome painting from Rob's great, smiling photo.

Yum!

Amazing cupcakes at the office today!

Estate Sales

Cold Foam Nitro at Starbucks to prep for estate sales.

Mary found some treasures ...

Google got to ride in my car for the first time in history (with seat protection). Unlike Stella, he sheds A LOT, but Mary's car was at the dealer.

Lizard alert!

Scoping out the back door screen ...

... this guy decided to come inside. Luckily I caught him before Stella decided to have a snack.

I like it much better when they stay outside.

Mary grilled a delicious gigantic 2.5 lb ribeye tonight.

Stop & Smell the Flowers

On our walk after work, Stella posed with flowers in Kim & Lynn's garage.

Mold Remediation

Four days this week were spent undergoing mold remediation from Hurricane Irma damage. It was a crazy, lengthy process that ended with holes cut in the ceiling of 7 rooms & a wall in another. Ugh!

Backyard Beavers

Stella was bonkers about the beavers in our backyard. They're so funny to watch!

Whose Haircut?

Since I have to take Stella for her haircuts, she insists on going to mine.

New Global Headquarters

Deane & Jay pose before the groundbreaking for the new Global Headquarters of the PGA TOUR.

4th of July

Stella is always willing to help out with the grilling!

Checking out Mary's new van. Stella & Google approve!

Meanwhile, back home ...

Bully sticks help with the fireworks & thunder.
