      Haha! That’s just his coloring (the inside of his ears have always been pink along with his bare little piggy belly). He uses it to pick up the ladies…

    Happy 4th of July, John & Sherry (et al.)! I find myself thinking of you two often, having just moved into a newtome house. Boxes, projects to do, more boxes, blogging, and more boxes. I find myself wondering, what is Sherry doing? Is she still unpacking? Is she totally settled and I’m just procrastinating? Did she find space for every single thing while I’m just cramming into cabinets instead of organizing? Yep, I’m a certified (certifiable?) YHLStalker.

    I’m resisting the urge to rename my blog “Old House Love”.

    Happy 4th. Thanks for all you share. :)

      Haha, thanks Colleen! I can assure you there’s lots of procrastination and cramming things into cabinets and closets! I’ll get to them someday. I think…

      Thanks Otis! It’s always fun and a little cringe-worthy for us to go deep into the archives! Why were our photos so tiny?! Haha! But we love having them to look back on :)

    Wouldn’t it be sweet to have the “life of Burger”? Laying around in the sun. Sneaking naps all day either in a sunny spot or under the cool sheets. Not a care in the world. Happy 4th, Petersik Family!

    Happy Fourth! Burger is too cute.

    Hahaha we do the same thing to our pooch- dollar store sunglasses and headbands….Boomer is a real ham, and will sit for the camera. Has to be the French in him- he has a bit of Malinois with hound and whokknowswhat.

    Sherry- So random, but I just came across this girl on youtube and I could not get over how much I think you look alike. It was like a parallel universe in which you were obsessed with make-up instead of home decor and you were teaching me how to highlight and contour my face:

    Just now reading this (I got behind in my blog reader — scandalamity!!) and my first thought was, “SO proud of them for taking a day off!” Good for you — hope it was awesome and relaxing.
