a few more cars...

got another hot and humid day here...

but the weekend looks better...

will be getting the paint bucket opened...

touching up the deck and getting the railings done...

and the back steps...

shouldn't take too long...

maybe even working on the side yard that needs so much help...

have a  blessed day!

med chopper landing...

Saturday, during the car show...

this showed up...

flew right over our heads...

I knew where it was going to land and when it was coming...

since I take the photos for them to use at the car show and other things...

and it was pretty awesome watching it land and all that...

just like M*A*S*H...

they had a girl co-pilot!

yeah for girls!

DH took my camera and headed for the chopper to get some close up shots...

I set the camera for him and told him not to touch and thing and it would work!

and he did good!

I now have a back up to Craig!

isn't all of this cool?

amazing how they can fit all that equipment is such a tiny space...

it drew quite a few over to take a look inside...

Eli was even there!

and...

he wanted his picture taken!

he has this cheesy grin thing down!

he is growing so fast!

taking a day to rest...

done 6 days in a row!

time for me now...

and naps...

there are naps!

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!
