Boats... That sounds nice. I haven't been sailing in three years or more.
We're going to celebrate the 4th at my dads, plus a family birthday. I'm making a blueberry and a cherry birthday pie. I just bought 8 pounds of pie cheeries I need to pit. However, it's a small price to pay for real cherry pie.
Independence Day is my favorite holiday. I may love it even more than Christmas. Christmas is so much work and stress. The 4th is fire works and bathing suits, pie and ice cream.
I have tons of blueberries. Anyone want to come pick them? I have little patience to pick, so I haven't made a blueberry pie in a few years, despite having over 75 blueberry bushes and some are over 8 feet high (very hard to cover).
We will be walking in the July 4th parade tomorrow. Rain is forecast for the entire weekend in our area, so a trip to the shore may be out.

My weekend with the kiddos. Picking them up from daycamp and school this afternoon and heading up to my aunt and uncle's house on Lake Livingston. They have neighbors with kids who weekend up there throughout the summer, and during the holidays, there's a lot going on. They do a bonfire, fireworks, an inflatable water slide, not to mention the lake itself and my uncle's boat.
We'll head back on Saturday, and then the GF is planning to come over in the evening for a couple of hours around just before I put the kids to bed. They can spend a little time getting better acquainted, and then she and I can have some alone time talking or just watching a movie.
The GF's mother has "become mysteriously ill" all of a ssudden.
Possible drug overdose of anti-anxiety medicine.
I can't go, cause as of today all vacations have been canceled because the cambodians have all taken next week off. A memo came through that we are getting new automated equipment, so they figure to save their jobs, they'll cripple tha company.
I know just WHO I WON'T put in to be transfered into the new department.
Now I can't take a vacation because of them, or go with Tabbi to see about her mother.
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
Lets see....Parade and Family Picnic tomorrow....Fireworks Saturday and work on Sunday.
Parade is our highlight. It's a big thing here and my store is participating. We borrowed a 2009 RED Dodge Ram Hemi from the local dealership to throw candy from. I'd let them keep my Malibu in a heartbeat as fair trade...
AGE, I got to drive one of those for the parade of lights at Christmas time!!! Cool,, What kind of store do you own?
Cind, I be the massage and special treatment felt wonderful!!!
I am having another cook out as we had leftovers from the 4th only 5 kids showed up and I had food for 20.
Did not call Bowling guy and invite, I've decided til he mends his was he is to toxic for me to be around. It's been a week since I've seen him. I have vowed that he will have to do the pursuing, I am done!!! Friends keep telling me different, that he is just trying to find himself, well he needs to look under a rock!!!
I stopped at the heritage fesitival on my way home and got a "Snoppy" decal for my Explorer!!! too cool for this g-ma!!!
AGE,, Cool I have a friend that is a stylist, so she get me products when she goes to the warehouse. I got a free HC the other night as I wrapped a perm for her, says it's hard reaching the back!!!
GF's son and I panned for gold and did really well, but I know the woman that owns the mine and I can pick through the hammer mill.
GF had a headache and stayed at the motel and hung out at the pool, her mom seems to be doing better so she didn't go.
The woman who owns the mine gave me one of her cockatoos to find a good home for it. I feel so sorry for him as he is a really good bird, but has a few behavioral problems. My cockatoo doesn't like other birds so he can't stay with me.
We watched the fireworks and they were fantastic.
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
I love my job!! I look forward to going to work everyday! I've been licensed for 28 (WOW) years and never really liked doing hair but liked the business end of it...this is actually a dream job for me.
Yes it is here again, the weekend!!!! Which means our summer is ticking away!!! Darn!!
Saturday I have projects here at home to finish up. My aunt and Uncle are visiting my mom and dad so will probably go out to dinner with them and get caught up on family news.
Also have to get food stuff's together for a camping trip for 25 of the church kids. I am not staying overnights this year, but will help set camp up on Sunday afternoon and then will meet up for ice cream with a guy from the internet that I haven't meet yet, this will be a first for me!!!
A kid free weekend for me. I've a few house things to do (paint my front door, mow the lawn, maybe work on the garage). Going camping in a couple weeks, so may do some shopping for that. Also might catch a flick.
Going to hang out with my twin brother all weekend.
GF had to go to Mississippi, her mom is still sick and they don't know what's wrong. We suspect prescription abuse.
Anyways, one of our shooting buddies is going to let us raid his garden and beehive! He is also going to mine the lead out of his indoor range so we can cast bullets for the Sharps.
Weather has been too unpredictable to fly as of late, so that's out.
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
Currently, it's 5 p.m. Today, I have taken both children for their physicals - same office but different doctors, gone to see my mom, come home for lunch, taken daughter to another doctor appt, gotten ice cream then gone down the road to sit by a pond in a park to eat it, got gas for car, came home to send children to their dad's, taken the dog for her check-up, and come home. I'm in for the next 36 hours....then I drive 4 hours to take children to camp and come back home.
Thursday, the dog gets boarded at the vet and I go up to the camp for 2 nights.
I've had the past two days off...did some shopping yesterday, made my daughter a sundress today and now the kids are putt putt golfing with some friends and I'm watching "Cash Cab" and chilling. I return to work tomorrow for 4 days then have 8 days off!!
