Happy Independence Day!

A Day for Celebration in America...





It's raining here in OK. So plans will go from swimming outside to sewing inside! I made brisket yesterday and yummo it was so delicious and just melted in your mouth. Add some sweet corn and sliced tomatoes and you are in food heaven!

I am making a cuuuuute little summer shirt for moi and also one for Son 2's sweetie L!

I might even make one for my niece in Houston. Lets see if she reads this and leaves a comment. If so, she gets on too, I can even make one for my sister if she read this too! hahaha, stay tuned.

In between sewing I need to go get some more chalkboard paint at Lowes. I love that stuff. I am painting the door in the craft room. I also will put a layer of magnetic paint .

Have a great relaxing day and enjoy the rain if its in your area. We always need rain, but maybe not today... :(

Son 1 has a Southwest Airlines ticket that needs to be used by the end of August! Its for anywhere SWA flies and he will sell it for 1/2 price. Its only one ticket, so if you are planning to make a round trip you will need to pay for the way back.

If you need a ticket... leave a comment and we will get back to you lickety split!

What's up

What a busy week so far. We had company- hubs cousin from Nebraska. They used to work the pipeline together in Wyo.
Today I had my CASA interview. Boy do they ask every question known to man. I start the "training class" on Monday. for a month. I think it will be interesting. I will assigned a case and meet with all people involved in their life, then make an report to the presiding judge on the childs behalf. I have always wanted to do this!

I can't believe that son 1 will be 27 yrs old next week. Seems like not long ago, I was bringing a little tiny baby home form St. John. Now he is going to be 27. Where do those years go?

Im trying to decide what to have for the 4th! burgers or brisket... potato salad or chips... corn casserole or on the cob! Guess I better figure it all out and get to the store!

Off to dinner, going to Jalapenos! yummy

I finally book everything for our trip north.
We will stay with Hubs brother in Issaquah WA for a few day and then go to
http://www.lochaerie.com/christie.html . Be sure to scroll through all the pics. After we leave there we will go to Seabrook and stay here http://www.seabrookwa.com

I have always wanted to go to a cabin and sit and watch the ocean roll in and out after retirement! Hubs loves the mountains and I love the ocean, so this way we do both.

We have the pool full of water and shiny blue water. I was out a bit today and cant wait to lay around on hot afternoons. Yummmm, lemonade, book, and floating on the water. Summer bliss!

Have a great weekend and stay cool ya'll. Its only 101 here! Geeze we never had spring this year.

Saturday night excitement

I have gotten my craft room put back together, so I was able to get a bracelet made for a friend. She was just diagnosed with Diabetes and needs to wear that ugly bracelet. So I took off the clunky silver thing and made a better bracelet.

Fathers Day is tomorrow. Hubs want a bike, so I saw these at the grocery store, cam home and made one for hubs. He loves his chocolate. Guess he will need that bike soon. Pardon the clutter. Does your breakfast table look like this too?

Picture from my retirement party. Hubs, me and son 1. Son 2 had a class at work. I had lots of fun and dressed like a queen.

Food Handler

Yea, I am not a moron. I went to Tulsa today to take the food handlers test. We sat for 1 1/2 hour to listen to a guy talk and watch a video, then took a test. I passed , not even missing one. However, did you know that its ok to leave mayo out. It doesnt even have to be put in the fridge. Hmmmmmm, I didnt argue. I remember the steadfast rul that you dont eat a sandwich that has mayo on it unless its been in the fridge. Guess momma was wrong!

Think I will go to OKC tomorrow afternoon for a couple of days. I need to visit Grammer. Son 1 is there for Youth Force, I m sure he will need cookies and a watermelon too!
