Loved this!! If you don't mind, I am gonna 'borrow' it and post in my "Remembering ...." thread.

I guess cause it is the 4th you can use it
But I do want it back

Hi pals! Happy 4th!

hi (((pals))) well i didnt check my mail yesterday how ever i did today and found a lovely note from sherry((dragonfly)) to myself and my grandbabys to have a wonderful and safe 4th thank you ((sherry)) that was a wonderful surprise ty

and a package from mark((fetts)) in the box was 2 elvis cds a harley piggy bank a gradmothers coffee mug 2 key chains a card and a lovey note inside mark thank you sweetie that was a wonderful surprise and im listening to elvis as i type once again thank you

I received both packages Patti. I got a wonderful wreath for my back door in the first box. This last box I got yesterday was chocked full of good stuff. My kids and my sister and I had a wonderful time going through it all and picking things for ourselves. My two neices got two of the bears and I hung one on my mirror in the car. So Patti, you blessed six people with all of the stuff in there. The note pads are great because I am a huge organization freak and make notes every night before I go to bed or am lying in bed about stuff I have to do the next day. People I need to call, prescriptions that need filled, drop of stuff to my sisters, get oil changed, mail out stuff. That is how my list goes and I even put on there go tan, run sweeper, thaw meat. I am a Capricorn and am so organized it gets on my own nerves sometimes. I was married for 20 years to a man who was the exact opposite. He would never plan vacations. We just got in the car and ended up where ever he drove us. I have to say we had some of the best times that way. I was a mess worrying at times about things getting done. I even do laundry when I am on vacation because I can't stand to have things in the hotel room messy. I need help, I know.

I almost forgot I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. My boyfriend's parents met my parents for the first time today. They all got along great. My mom had a huge party for the 4th with karoke and a big bonfire and they came and stayed 6 hours and watched all of the fire works as well. I am glad they finally met. I was sort of sweating that one. I had a really great holiday. We played cornhole and I am very competetive so I had to stop. However I was the best at hoola hoop games. I won them all hands down. Love you all. Have a great night.

Hi Pals. I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th. It was a wet one here. My son Chris and his girls came over and we watched T.V. and had pizza.

I knew that you were a Capricorn and an organization freek

There should be a white envelope as well with a note and a surprise or two inside as well coming

HI Pals

Well I picked up the babies at 10 am and we walked to the park. They were the only ones there for a while so they got to test out all the equipment just the two of them and believe me they were not satisfied with staying on the baby toys.....they wanted the big slide and the jungle gym so off we went.

I gotta say for 2 1/2 they have no fear.....that little Ethan grap a hold of that rope swing and just jumped into mid air....what a stinker, good thing I was there to catch him since he didn't have the concept of holding onto the roppe for more than 2 seconds

by the time we left the park at 1:30 pm they were experts on all the equipment. We walked down to get ice cream which is about 10 blocks from the park and yep you guessed it the little buggers fell asleep.

Of course Mommy wasn't on time, she never is, so they finally woke up and got their ice dream as Sabastian calls it

Finally got home and went to take a shower when I realized that I never put sunblock on myself only the babies.......well I am so sunburnt that the white shower wall was glowing off my red skin

Boths sides of my arms, legs, neck and then my forehead, cheeks, nose and even my ears are sunburnt.....thank goodness for Aloe and Noxzema

was a great day in all

Doing great! My new job has been keeping me quite busy! I am now a court reporter...I jus love the courtroom... Glad to hear your doing fine

Mornin Pals

I forgot to mention I got a cute card from Sherry (DFT) wishing me Happy 4th of July! Thank you, it made me smile.

Dinner was fun. The fireworks really started late here for some reason, but for a small town they put on a pretty big display. Glad it's all over though 'cause all that popping and cracking drove Buttercup crazy.

Sure seems like the summer is passin' way too fast this year. We've had a nice little respite from the sweltering heat and humidity the past week, but it's fixin' to heat back up again.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

yes Wanda they had a blast....such little characters they are becoming

Hi Pals. Hope everyone has a good day,For Tomorrow is Monday. It is hard for me to get start on mondays.

Good Evening (((Pals))) I hope everyone had a good holiday! Yesterday, we had a cookout, and today we went to an Art and Heritage Festival --- Good music, great food, and nice crafts!

I went along all day thinking it was Monday. Man being off for the summer screws me up! I went back to school shopping today. I bought my neice 8 and my nephew 11 back to school clothes and shoes. My sister is limited on funds so I always buy their back to school clothes and supplies each year. I took them over to them and they were so excited. I bought my nephew a pair of Nike Shox because he is going into middle school and you know those kids can be ruthless! He will be going where I work. I have to keep an eye on him. I picked up 3 really cute tops for my 16 year old also. We are all going to an amusement park on Wednesday so I hope the weather is beautiful. I love to stay in the water park. My youngest loves the roller coasters. It will be nice to get out of town for a day or two. Yes, Todd is coming with us!
