started out this morning washing a tarp we found last weekend...
and then the car and truck...
and just as soon as we were finished...
we had to do a touch up...
Mr Wiggles, muddy paws and all...
decided it was the perfect moment to slide down the front of the windshield...
roses are still blooming away...
after the tarp was dry, we took the blue ones down and put the tan one up...
on the backside of the deck...
to keep out the rain...
there used to be a very old saying...
the corn needed to be knee high by the fourth of July...
now its...
head high by the fourth of July...
and that it is...
DH's willow tree...
he loves that tree...
I started that from a tiny stick...
and then, late afternoon, the grilling began...
while I did my oh, so needed, manicure...
hamburgers and hot dogs today...
Craig's plate...
he added baked beans to his...
and mine...
we had food left over...
and then after dark...
the cop shows up...
we are sitting in the side yard watching the neighbors' shoot off fireworks...
he had gotten a call...
someone complained and it wasn't us, so we sent him down the street...
picture me standing there in my nightgown with a flash light pointed in my face...
something right out of Tim Burton right there...
;)
this thing in the middle of the week has me all messed up...
all of us here today...
DH working tomorrow...
Craig working Saturday and Sunday...
throws a wrench in the calendar in my head...
which isn't all that accurate anyway...
sure felt like a Saturday to me...
I wonder what Saturday's going to feel like...
the oldest son and his girlfriend will be here on Saturday to eat...
not sure if its dinner or supper, so need to check on that...
so hope you had a good 4th...
ours was...
well, except for the cop and the flashlight...
but at least it didn't end up with me in handcuffs...
so its all good here...
;)
