Okay, I'm officially up. 3rd day in a row with no work and the possibility of a 4th. Today I will celebrate my independence by weeding the garden and cutting grass. My wood cutting for the winter supply is also way behind. Right now I feel a serious urge for bacon, eggs and friend potatoes and onions. Happy 4th.

I fry 'em. Just got back inside from weeding the garden. It's hard to keep up with working all the days and hours. Weeding in the coolness of early morning is almost a spiritual activity.

Morning!

I was up at 5AM, I went to volunteer at our 10k/20k/5k races this morning. Now its more garage sale stuff, then off to the party across the street.

Sass, I went to Zehnders and bought a blueberry cream cheese cake to take. Its less work, less mess, and cheaper, considering G's 30% discount. :)

Have a great day, everyone!

Is it Friday yet?  If not, I'm going to catch another couple of winks ---
Tilt

How does one actually catch a wink, set traps? They can be elusive little buggers:)

I mowed most of the lawn yesterday, weeded most of the garden and poured some of that potent llama manure tea down the throats of my plants. Looks like I better start a new batch today. The fence still lacks a door and sooner or later the deer will walk all the way around the perimeter and stroll right into my garden as if they were going into a restaurant that specializes in greens. If I catch 'em, the restaurant will soon specialize in venison and greens.

Good morning, I hope everyone had a nice 4th of July. It rained down here last night with loud thunderstorms. Nurses kept coming in so I didn't get much sleep. I'm mostly bored than anything else. At least surgery tomorrow will liven things up. LOL...

Morning everyone. Boy, we had fun yesterday. It never did rain and my little brother's firewrks were awesome. At one point it did seem a bit like Festivus (airring of grievances), but heck, what can one expect from family?

RichB, You'll be in my thoughts. Hope the time before your surgery passes quickly.

Morning everyone. I didn't get to sleep until some time after 2 am. Ugh. HPM, however, was asleep as soon as he hit the pillow. Lucky guy.


My neighbors with the super barky dogs (now silenced by shock collars) closed the deal on their house, so they're moving back to Tn., without the dogs. The pound is already way overcrowded here too. Nice people. Their kids look and act like they were "hands off" raised too, except the boy has loads more sense than his dad does.

Happy B'day, SG.

I worked a bit in the morning and was home pretty early. After a short nap we were off to the theatre to see Transformers. I was impressed, it was good. I did cringe with the kids there because there was about a 2 minute conversation in the movie about masterbation. I am so glad one of them didn't turn to me and ask, "Daddy, what's m_?"

lesson learned.......always see a movie BEFORE your child does!!!!

..or Beetlejuice.....I never noticed him giving the finger when he was in the cemetary...my kids did tho!!!

No, not an important part of the movie. There was a part where the car dealer's (I think it was Cedric the Entertainer) mom gave him the finger.

I knew I was at risk taking a 5 and 7 year old to a PG-13. Baby Addie slept through the whole thing.

A belated Happy Birthday, SG.

My daughter and her b/f are here. I came home to the lawn mowing being finished, dishes done and the house cleaned up. Pleasant surprise.

I'm still at the campground, but I've got to give them notice because I'm taking a job in the meat market at the grocery store. (sigh) I'll miss the bikinis, but not dragging the water laden canoes up the beach, nor the drunks, nor the hours. Age really is a factor in some activities. I can make myself do them, but the price is high. No energy left for enjoying life.

Happy anniversary Sass! Our 10th wedding anniversary is August 16th, but we've been together for 17 years.

Treebait, pretty cool to have spent over half your life with your favorite guy! I've known Birch for 19 years now. It took him 7 years to wear down my resistance though, so we were only best friends for that time.

Crash Bang you can have dibs if anything happens to me before 90 years is up. Birch is a good snuggler.;)

I use a homemade dry rub (recipe varies) and leave them in the oven all day at about 190 degrees. I cover them with foil too. For the last part I'll glaze them with something, but I never use typical barbecue sauce. I like more flavor than that.
