Saturday

Saturday's just are not long enough...or maybe I just don't have enough energy to get everything done that I would like to. This morning, I got caught up on computer things for an hour...during which time Buddy put together a 300 piece puzzle (amazing!). Then we took off for the pool. Dinner out (Little Tony's). And to the movies (Ice Age 3). Tdawg is off on a church weekend event, so this is as empty nest as we get. It sure is quiet!

Purdy

Thanks to Cletus' faithful watering these are alive and blooming:

Fireworks!

I had a good fourth. Buddy and I were lounge lizards at the pool for awhile. Cletus grilled. What could be better! And it is nice to live out in the county where you can set off your own fireworks! We have quite a few neighbors who just live for this day!! So we never have to go further than the driveway to see an amazing show. One neighbor must have set off a grands worth of mortars. And of course, we had two jumbo assorted packs of our own. Tdawg was in charge of the show for the first time. He set the dead grass we call a yard on fire twice...ok, so it was just smoldering. Not his fault, it has been ninety plus degrees for twenty days in a row with little to no rain. I did have to retrieve some burning embers from the neighbors' yard. I was a little panicky when one of the embers bounced down the neighbor's roof. It was pretty exciting when Tdawg lit an artillary shell and it imploded in the driveway. He realized later the he had it upside down! Buddy was mesmerized by the sparklers and roman candles. A good time was had by all!

Patriotic

We had Patriotic Day at work. Of course, we outdid ourselves! Lunch was fun. We wanted to torture Miss Red's daughter, who just started working at Sonic. So, we ate outside and cause quite a stir. Poor Mason...he is forced to work with a bunch of lunatic women. He is such a good sport! He didn't think twice about being seen in public with us. He looked like he was either the lead singer or our road manager (or maybe a parole officer?).

I don't think that A. was expecting so much attention! We were called A's Angels. But I'm not sure how angelic we are. (hee hee hee)

Miss Red

Miss White

and Mrs. Blue (I can't help it...I'm a blinker!) It kind of makes me look heavily medicated!

Whatever shall we do for the next holiday?? Hey, at least we make accounting fun!!

Fun

Look! Some one has bigger feet than Tdawg. Ha ha!

Life in a fish bowl:



Pretty blue tongue!

Sad and Blue

Ahhh,, sad little fish. Looks a lot like the Irish Lord that I caught up in the Bering Sea. The Captain said it was bad luck to bring it onboard the boat. So, he cut my fishing line.

A blue spotted frog. Astounding!

Shark Cage

As usual, we just can not be serious about anything! But we do have a lot of fun!!

Bad idea

They have a tank where you can lean over and pet these amazing creatures.

Hey, I'm a cool Mom...petting the skate.

And they are gushy, gooey, slimy and slick. As my grandmother would say "slickery"! Where can I wash my hands...QUICK!!

There is much to say for NOT being the cool Mom!

Turtles!

Turtles are so cool! Tdawg loved them. He was disappointed that the sea turtle was hiding.
