On June 26th, I celebrated another birthday--#62! Upon viewing photos from the past few years, I realized that I have worn this same dress at least four times on my birthday, so I am officially making it my Birthday Dress. I do still have the same old random (and wrinkled) birthday SUIT, but this is my birthday DRESS..........

Our "Tween" celebration--Waymon always treats us to dinner to celebrate our two birthdays sometime in between mine on June 26th and Dwight's on July 4th. This year, we joined Waymon and Eileen at the Bishop's Lodge...........

But the big news of the early summer is the Montoya Family Annual GARAGE SALE!........

Where we sell our accumulated jink--er....TREASURES.....................

Hey! these folks are BRINGING more stuff!..................

Oh, it's not STUFF, it's our newest cousin--little Issiah with his Mommie and Grandpa. James is just bursting his buttons over this beautiful boy.......................

After all, he IS adorable!................................

Aunt Andie highly approves of her newest great-grandchild...................

And the Garage Sale lumbers on.............

Alice--the true saleswoman in the family--spruces up this western bar that she thinks will sell with just a little TLC...............

Guess who came up from Albuquerque?--Our dear Patricia...................

And the multi-talented Kelly..............

"Looking good, Alice!"--and Yes, she did sell it!..................

The sale in the final hours. It did prove a fantastical financial success and it cleared up lots of space so we can go get more treasurers at other people's garage sales..................

Although I challenge all future garage sale entrepreneurs to come up with customers any cuter than ours!!!.................................

So enjoy all the fun and oddities that may come your way in the early summer because remember the winter is so very long..........................
