Ed takes a hit from some potpourri.

..Pam, and Ellen...

Mary with Philip, Jennifer, Arline, Erin...

After a great dinner @ Houck's, we returned to open some gifts celebrating Mary's b-day.

Mary gets Chico'ed-out with some new bling from Alison.

Lizards are good at camoflage. Here's Leapin' Larry after jumping from the house to the plant. He thinks we won't see him if he doesn't move...

Cyber shows off the latest in canine fashion - the doggie faux-cast. Notice how it matches the owner's blouse.

We toured Swanee today and stopped in at the Mary Kay warehouse.

Today we biked from Stone Mountain out past Decatur - around 26 miles. We stopped by Steve's place which is just off the route and met Drex.

Met a turtle on our ride tonight around Johns Creek.

Erin bouncing down the slide at her company picnic.

Sweat glistens after the two hermanos finish their ride. Is that a new Cannondale R700 we see? And Steve was riding in new clips and shoes he just got the other day. Didn't fall once.

Erin and Steve after finishing 2 outer loops and 1 inner loop around Stone Mountain. Was the first time we tried the outer loop -- we even went around it the 2nd time in reverse - with the killer hill(s). The outer loop takes you around the other side of the lake by the resort and golf course.

Had to get the shirt - "I did it all for the Wookiee". That's one of Cyber's many nicknames. I'd probably do it all for a real Wookiee too, if I ever meet one.

After our ride this morning hosted by The Bicycle Wheel. We went over to the Duluth Square and back around Berkeley Lake, up Peachtee Industrial and back to 141.

A trip through the covered bridge at Stone Mountain.

We met up with Steve after the ride for some lunch.

A brief photo stop before continuing around Stone Mountain. Was hot today.

The last minutes of life for these innocent beetles. After seeing their photo, Ed grabbed the spray and ended their lives. The horror.

"Even Rocky had a montage collage".

Steve brought over his brand new Olympus C-8080 over to casa Ettel for a demo. Nice piece of kit. He borrowed a tripod and tried his eye out capturing some of the backyard gardens. A nature lover to no end, Steve enjoys using his photography to illustrate the beauty of God's creations. Either that or he digs gadgetry like his bro.

A big step for Steve, so to speak. His first pair of sandals.

We met up with Steve over at the Ettel's for a great 4th of July cookout.

Cybie enjoys a car ride after chowing on a Doggie Sundae from Bruster's.

Cyber shows her patriotic side by being stuffed into a rolling cooler. A true sport, she was rolled all around the house. Have we finally found a carrier for her? Perhaps.
