a really great weekend...

Friday night started off with these firemen cooking supper for everyone...

hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans and chips...

we missed dessert!

the stashed the leftovers in the corner so we could get to the bingo part of the night...

my losing bingo card!

but old Craiger won a $14 pot as soon as DH and I left...

(we went to the street dance)

then Saturday morning...

DH and I headed for the square!

for me, its all about the chrome and white walls...

there were venders and a bike swap, too...

didn't win a thing!

but we had fun!

that crazy chicken pooped on someone else's number...

I took over 300 photos...

it was amazing!

wish you could of all been here!

we even got to see the med chopper fly right over us and land in front of us!

we were on our way out of there to come home a bit...

rest up, eat lunch and then go back up...

but we got stopped...

"chopper coming! need photos!"

Mike is in charge of the whole thing...

Roy is in charge of the car show!

Ann, a fellow blogger, knows the owner of this one!

chrome, chrome, chrome...

another fireman making sure things are going right...

and the chopper...

we have a funeral to do today...

my friend's mother passed away on Thursday...

both my guys are going to be pall bearers...

she was 95 and pretty much outlived everyone...

so the visitation is right before the funeral...

Craig has to work this morning, come home for the funeral and then go back when its over...

the funeral is a couple of towns south...

so keep us all in your prayers today...

on the roads and helping the family through this difficult day...

hope you had a good weekend!

off of the deck this morning...

the city sprayed for skeeters last night at dark...

they haven't been too bad this year considering how things started out in the spring...

got 2 starts of lambs ear planted last night...

the corn is coming along...

the other in the field is head high now...

there is a cook out at the fire station tonight with bingo and a street dance to follow...

Saturday starts off with the car show on the square and vendors...

not planning on buying anything, but you never know until you get there...

after they sprayed, the wind picked up and we had thunder but no rain...

but it must have been some pretty good winds...

had to replant this to make room for the lambs ear...

got a gallon of exterior paint to touch up the deck and railings...

and whatever else I can do with it...

but doubt if I get to it this weekend...

maybe on the 4th...

both guys will be home...

Doug and Paula are camping out in the yard this weekend...

and I am sure there will be grilling going on...

:)

be safe and keep your pets inside during the fire works...

its the number one busiest day for shelters...

also, remember the vets who may have problems with it...

God Bless America!

starting to heat back up, but...

we  have had some excellent days in the 70s...

nights in the 50s...

and its been wonderful!

we finally hit 80 this afternoon...

I could have done the 70s all summer!

gearing up for the weekend, but taking a slow day today...

neighbor brought me a baby he found in his garage on Sunday...

so as the last furrball of the last litter went out...

another came in...

muted tortie and I named her Gidget...

I will get some photos of her soon...

I will only have her for about another week or so...

already adopted...

happy 4th weekend!

my small town...

I cannot imagine living in a big city...

not after spending my entire life living in small towns and cities...

I moved here when I was 21...

so the majority of my life has been here with my family...

the ups outweigh the downs...

but we sure could use a burger king...

and a small version of Walmart would be nice...

and a nice goodwill or second hand store...

then I would never have to leave town for anything!

everything else can be got online and shipped to me!

we are gearing up for a major 4th weekend here...

complete with street dancing and fireworks...

there will be chicken bingo and an ugly dog contest!

kiddie tractor pull, dunk tank and bingo at the fire station!

and an awesome car show with a DJ...

there is so much more and all next week I will post about it...

so don't forget to stop by and see what country bumpkins do for fun!

:)

Saturday with my kid...

DH had to work yesterday...

but Craig was off...

we mostly spray painted some things back to life...

he cooked up 3 pounds of hamburger for taco meat for tonight...

DH ran to Kroger after work and got us stocked back up again...

and we finished the day with a bon fire...

too full to roast hot dogs or anything like that...

going to have a slow day here...

working on general maintenance...

LOL

it all still has to be done, too...

we also got the last rose bush planted!

I am sore...

slow moving...

stiff and achy...

doing too much...

trying to keep up and get a little ahead...

not working so far...

but I am trying...

:)

hope your weekend is fun...

got some real nice cooler days here...

enjoying it all!
