Golden Barrel Cactus Flower

Bob has been at sleep away camp just over a week. The staff at the camp report that Bob keeps everyone laughing and he is a favorite among the teenagers. He left today on a 3 day backpacking trip. When he gets back, he needs to decide whether to stay at camp an additional 2 weeks. While I miss him, I know he is having so much more fun there than here.

Life at home has been rather dull without Bob around. The big excitement for me has been the arrival of a new phone. My Samsung Galaxy Nexus was on its last legs and I cannot be without a smartphone for work. The new phone is a Moto X that works hands free quite well. That is great for driving between veterinary clinics with my ultrasound. I love it when technology makes my job easier.

Thank you to my husband James Fryer for editing this picture on Instagram for me.
