SKATING BABIES

THIS IS GREAT YOU WILL LAUGH.. I SURE DID..

SOMEONE DID A GREAT JOB ON IT..

HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY!!

TUESDAY NOTES

Wonderful weather still stays around here so I decided to

mow the yard again before the rains come.. (IF they come

at all.) I wasn’t the only one either. I heard lawn mowers all

around on Monday.

City council gave the go ahead for the clean up in August, so I gathered

some more items in the garage.. which really needs a dump

truck!  I mean how do we gather so much junk??

All the sales we have had and we still manage to have tons

of “stuff” to get rid of.  It’s like it multiplies over night!

I am sure some of you know how that is!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The big big news is that of the memorial service for MJ. My

goodness they are going all out about it. I think one or two

networks might have been just fine. Having them ALL well

that is really something. A real “EVENT” like the superbowl only

bigger! Sis called and told me to record it because she would be

working. I will try but how do you record something you have no idea how

long it will be?  So many people performing and taking part it

seems like an OSCAR type event.  A real hardship for the city of

L.A., but then again a boom for all the hotels, restaurants and

merchants who are doing great business with the many people

who are staying in the area.  I am curious at how they will

pull this whole thing off so I will be watching it too.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

For all those who sent Birthday wishes

 

I appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and support!

 

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

 

MONDAY AGAIN!!!..

Saw this sign and thought of the flowers I saw over

the weekend at the flea market. TALL HOLLYHOCKS

I believe…

HIGHER than my head that is for sure. These used to

be in yards all over our neighborhood years ago.

NO one around here grows them much anymore. They

are beautiful to see though.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Monday will come in here nice and warm and sunny. We are loving it

but know that rain would be very welcomed right now. Everything is

pretty dry. Gas prices stayed at 2.69 the whole weekend but we managed

to find it for 2.59 too. So much better than last year when it was over 3.00

a gallon.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Back to the daily grind of laundry and chores today. City council meets tonight and the

fate of our city-wide clean up problem is on the agenda. Hope they have decided

where and when we can get rid of all our trash and junk. Mine is collected

in large bags in my basement and garage long enough. Time to get rid of the

clutter.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT   M O N D A Y !!!   

 

 

JULY 4TH VIEWS…

ON the Fourth of July we simply wanted to take something

back to the store out of town.. that’s all!! The stores were packed with

people. You would think they were running out of food the

way folks were stocking up. On the way to the store we

went through the city streets where an old time car

cruise in was taking place. WOW so many different models

it was amazing. Some people were just sitting

in lawn chairs right on the sidewalks watching the cars go

by.

I swear it was like going back in time hearing them rumble and

whiz by. You can bet my camera was snapping away!

The local drive in restaurant had car hops and was packed .. you

could hardly find an empty place to park. YES. I saw one of the gals on

roller skates too.. but we didn’t stop!  DARN!

As we went through town we noticed that a large BBQ for the whole

town was set up under tenting.  It sure smelled delicious.

We didn’t stop there either..SEE a pattern forming???

There was a method to this plan. WE bought gas for

2.59  the cheapest we had seen in a long time.

We decided to hit the freeway and go to the annual

4th of JULY flea market near by. The day was cloudy and

warm and just right for checking out all kinds of bargains.

!

I had never seen so many vendors and people EVER.

After we got parked finally, I heard loud booming. Scared us

because we thought someone was setting off fireworks in the daytime.

NOPE.. we got there right in the middle of a CIVIL WAR RE-INACTMENT.

Authentic looking costumes and all. It was amazing.

Most of the women had wonderful dresses on and when

they lifted the skirts to walk you could see the petitcoats

and stockings and shoes were all old fashioned. The

officer above had boots up almost to his knees under

those pants! I was so glad for them it was not 90 degrees!

I kept saying “camera don’t fail me now.. as I snapped

at least 75 photos. I will be placing more later this week

to show.

Inside the building there was fresh baked goods so I hunted

the apple pie that mom wanted. I settled on a streusel though

as a whole pie was just too much. Mom and I tasted some in

the car waiting for Sis to finish her bargain hunting.

I didn’t buy anything at all but I sure had a good time looking.

I kept thinking of all the stuff I needed to get rid of back at home.

GOT to get busy on boxing things up to give and throw out.

Got back home and made dinner of corn on the cob and steak

and hamburgers, potato salad and fresh yellow squash. It was

divine! 

 

AT 11:15PM on a street nearby a man set off a whole bunch of

sky high fireworks (which are very illegal in city limits). The light

and sound was so loud it set car alarms off and put out

the street lights. We had our own little fireworks display.

It was really something. I guess if the cops were in the area

the smoke left over would surely have given him away

 

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL 4th of JULY weekend too!!

 

 

 

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

Went shopping most of the day on Thursday. Spent more

time in one store than I wanted to. Found some bargains

and looked into a new camera. The clerk told me that

CANON’s were really rated HIGHER than any other camera

on the market. My camera is okay so far. but I sense that it

is getting tired of me..  It is beginning to not respond when

I want it to. Reminds me of the computer when it wants to

NOT DO what you want it to. It has a “mind of it’s own”

NOT GOOD. I gotta say I like to be prepared so I look

around and investigate before I buy. Limited budget

in mind .. I am just “looking” at them and checking

things out. Have you noticed that they are all different

colors now? Where have I been.. under a rock??

 The old silver or grey or black cameras are

gone and now they come in GOLD, GREEN,BLUE, RED, PINK

and PURPLE. QVC has been selling a lot of cameras of color.

Goodness I never even thought of buying one with

a COLOR. My favorite one so far was a Green Canon.

I think now that I will try to buy one with a color so I

will know it is MINE!! I like the idea of personalizing it.

Just think all those cameras we have that use kodak

film in rolls are now obsolete. I never thought I would

see that in my lifetime. We all have antiques! 

Amazing!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Anyway.. the day was gray, cold (60 ) and misty.

Wearing a coat felt good! You really could not believe it

was JULY!!  Gas prices are hold almost 1$ less than last

year at $2.69 and we have heard they are not going up!

We went to the local discount grocery store and noticed

they had bananas 3 lb for a dollar.

NOPE they didn’t sell them all.. Two carts full will make a lot

of banana bread or some hungry pigs really happy!!   Mom

will attempt to make bread tomorrow because I could not

resist getting some of these. Fruit salad too!

 

WELL HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A
