Labor Day Weekend - Denver

D is for days of sunshine, dog walking da five dogs (duh), driving un petit Mercedes RLK Roadster, Denver temple with dad, dog hunting with Debbie (we lost Bailey), de Liz, de Faith, and de Sam. Last three were a stretch, but I did enjoy Labor Day weekend with family and friends.

Liz and her friend, Faith, spent the weekend at dad's just in time to update me on the popular tween favorites such as Hannah Montana, HS Musical 3, Disney Radio, Aeropostale, as well as fabulous dance moves and swimming techniques. Those girls are in the know. Liz looks taller than me. We were on a hill, but she really is almost my height. What are kids eating these days to get so tall! I'm a shrimp at 5'7".

Labor Day was spent down at Debbie's. Liz, Faith and I went swimming and drove around in Debbie's yellow Mercedes. Plus, we enjoyed the company of Barney, Bailey, Penny, TJ, and Emma. Yep, Barney is the "odd dog out" of the four dachsunds (a.k.a. weiner dogs). Debbie has three dachsunds, dad has Barney and Liz's dog Emma (another dachsund). It's really difficult to try and get five dogs in the same picture.

Barney & the other dogs would sit in front of the door awaiting dad and Debbie's return. We actually lost Bailey twice that day. The dog has a way of running off, but both times he actually turned up in Debbie's car (someone needs to tell Bailey that dogs don't drive).

Consumer Report: The Mercedes SLK Roadster brings speed and style to any given day. Comfortable bucket seats conform to your body making short or long drives enjoyable. Quick acceleration allows for a fast escape from "sitting at red-light onlookers" to "let's see what this baby can do test drivers" (oh, I guess that was me). Just kidding. I only take rental cars on a real test drive. I was very cautious.
