HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE. HOPE YOUR HAVING A GREAT WEEKEND. MINE HAS BEEN A GOOD ONE THUS FAR. JIM COOKED BURGERS, HOTDOGS, CHICKEN AND CORN ON COB ON GRILL. I MADE POTATO SALAD, A SALAD, AND SLICED UP TOMATOES FOR THOSE WHO WANT THEM ON BURGERS. THERE WAS PICKLES, OLIVES, BAKED BEANS. EVERY ATE GOOD. FOR DESSERT IT WAS STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE AND ADDED SOME BLUEBERRIES IN IT, SO DESSERT WAS RED, WHITE AND BLUE, LOL. RIGHT NOW THE ONLY ONES HOME ARE ME AND THE BABY. SHE IS SLEEPING. EVERYONE ELSE WENT TO WATCH THE FIREWORKS AT PENNS LANDING. IT'LL BE THE KIDS FIRST TIME TO SEE FIRE WORKS UP CLOSE. I HOPE THEY DON'T GET SCARED FROM THE NOISE. I HAD A HAPPY SURPRISE TODAY. I FOUND 2 NICE RIPE TOMATOES ON MY PLANTS OUTSIDE. I PICKED THEM WASHED THEM OFF, SLICED THEM UP AND MAN THEY WERE GOOD, LOL. THERE'S NOTHING BETTER IN MY BOOK THEN A HOME GROWN TOMATO. JIM HAS A 3 DAY WEEKEND AND HE WAS TOLD WEDNESDAY HE GOT A RAISE. THAT IS DEFINATELY GOOD NEWS, SINCE THEY TAKE ALMOST 450.00 EVERY 2 WEEKS OUT OF HIS CHECK JUST FOR INSURANCE AND DENTAL. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THOSE TAXES. HE PUTS IN ALOT OF OVERTIME TO MAKE UP FOR IT ALL. HE'S BEEN DOING SOME SIDE WORK ALSO. WE'VE STARTED OUR SEARCH FOR A BIGGER PLACE. 4 TO 5 BEDROOMS WITH EITHER A FINISHED BASEMENT OR A GARAGE SO WE CAN STORE THINGS IN. WE'LL ALL LIVE THERE TIL WE BUY OUR HOUSES. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT DAY TO COME. WELL, I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY RIGHT NOW. I AM TIRED. GOT UP EARLY AND COOKED MOST THE DAY. I'M GONNA GO AND TRY TO READ A COUPLE JOURNALS BEFORE EVERYONE GETS HOME. PLEASE HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY WEEKEND.

Dear cindy, so glad to see you back again with us. I am glad that you had such a nice July 4th. (The only celebration we do on the 4th. July is for my sister and brother in laws wedding anniversary..we went out for a nice lunch in a local pub)
ReplyDeleteI will pray that you will soon be able to get a nice house somehwere soon. It must be so hard for you all to be living under the one roof...Glad that Jim has got a raise at this time whith the money situation being what it is it is a bit of a miracle. Over here a lot of people are being asked to have unpaid holiday leave or pay at only a minimum for the holiday period of up to a year !..not sure that many will take up the offer though.
God Bless you all
Much Love sybil xx
