Swimming Pool Time

Part of the family spent their time in a new swimming pool.  It was a hot weekend so that was very enjoyable.  My daughter had made so many different 4th of July treats and her daughters-in-law also made many.  If you didn't get enough to eat, it was your fault.  Last night my daughter made homemade enchiladas and they were soooo good.  I got to bring home a few treats too to eat later.  It was a fun Holiday with the best ever Fireworks the night of the 4th.  Also had a family reunion on Saturday and a nephew came who has moved back here from Florida.  I hadn't seen him in maybe 10 years or more.  That was a treat too.

Holiday Week

It seems like it was one long Holiday week. Where my brother lives, the people start moving into the parks and into their summer cabins on the lake. Also they have mobile homes in the mobile home parks that they only stay in during the summer. It starts out with the big "move in" on Memorial Day weekend. They have a huge city wide rummage sale that weekend. Then the carnival comes to town several days before the 4th of July and sets up and the fun begins. A big parade is held on the 4th and this year the carnival stayed over for a few more days of fun. Their little town of maybe 8,000 grows to 20,000 easily during this time and a good share of the summer.

New Crops

A couple weeks ago already, the little corn could be seen coming up in rows. It made me feel sad because that was one thing my deceased husband loved to see. He loved to ride somewhere and see the new little crops coming up. The fields are almost entirely green in places. It won't be long and it will be way above knee high by the 4th of July this year.

4th of July

The 4th of July is almost upon us. That means the year is all down hill from here. The corn is blowing in the wind and the beans are really growing too. We are enjoying temperatures in the 70's instead of 90-100 and the humidity is way down. It is so nice to have the windows open and no clouds or rain in the forecast for several days now. Hope everyone has a fun day on the 4th. Have a family picnic or go see fireworks or something fun.

4th of July

we took off for another town on the 4t of July to see the fireworks. Their pirotechnics team is No, 1 in this state and they never fail to put on a good show. While waiting for dusk, we eat hot dogs, walking tacos, pop and watch the talented young people dance, since and play musical instruments. It's always a good time.
