HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!~

 

 

There is something women like about a pickup man!~ :-)

Dear Journal,

We had the nicest weather today for the 4th that I think we have ever had here in the deep south.  The humidity was not anywhere near as bad as it usually is.  It was so pleasant, Hubby and I spent the earlier part of the day working in the yard, cutting the grass, weedeating, pulling weeds by hand too, and raking.  The yard looks sooooooo much better.

We grilled out in the afternoon.  My son handled the grill.  He cooked some hamburgers and hot dogs and seasoned them with Dale's Seasoning Sauce.  It is distributed in Birmingham, AL and let me tell ya, it made those hamburgers and hotdogs.  They were delicious!~

 

Afterwards, we watched court TV for a little while as a family.  I forget the exact name of the show, but it is something like Shocking Moments caught on tape or something like that, and Cops.  We couldn't believe some of the ummmm....is there a way to say this delicately?  Nah, I don't think so.  We couldn't belive some of the big dummies who try to outrun the police.  They make it worse on themselves by heaping up more charges on themselves and put not only themselves and the officers in danger, but lots of innocent people as well, but then, most of them even when the police caught up with them, THEN they resisted arrest.  I mean how stupid can one be?  I think the one that upset me the most, was the woman driving a school bus full of kids DRUNK!~ 

 

Close to dark, we went to my MIL's for the fireworks with my Hubby's family.  My son and some of my nephews shot them off.  We got sparklers for the little kids.  That was so much fun.

 

Mom came home from the hospital yesterday, so she was able to enjoy the festivities also.  She looks really well except for the edema, but they are giving her an antiinflammatory medication for that, so hopefully it will be under control soon.  It was caused by a medication they gave her while she was still in the hospital that she had an allergic reaction to.  That medication, whatever it was, nearly did her in.  Thankfully, she was able to tell them and they were able to counteract it somewhat.

All in all, it was a nice day.  Hubby and son were off and it was really nice spending the day as a family and then going to spend time with my MIL and some of Hubby's family.

Hope everyone had a nice time with their families as well.  Gotta get in bed now.  Have to go sit with my MIL in the morning while my niece who cares for her goes to town and then it is back to work. 

Nite!  Nite!~

 

  

P.S.  THE ONLY BAD THING ABOUT HOLIDAYS IS THEY DON'T LAST LONG ENOUGH TO SUIT ME!~
