Happy Homemaker Monday

 

The garden is getting a good soaking this morning.  It's hot and humid. Hubby is off work today, but not much will be done outside with the heat today.

I took my wedding ring in to have the prongs checked.  I cannot find my paperwork, so they are working on that.   I mean it's tough trying to find us in their system when it's been 22 1/2 years.  I just hope they can re-print our paperwork.  They said my ring looked as if it was brand new and complimented me on it.  One more thing off the to-do list.



Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

Ugh.  I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I will be glad when the kids move out and my house stays "guest" friendly.

Happy 4th of July!


Happy 4th of July!  We had a busy day yesterday, so today it's all about getting outside stuff done early and relaxing indoors with the AC.  It'll be a dozie of a hot one today.

We took a nice weather motorcycle ride with friends, ate somewhere new (new town), and ended the evening at another graduation party that was also his send off (military) party.  Another family member is going in the marines.

There were no fireworks to see off the front porch last night, but we may see some tonight.  It's always nice to watch them from our own comfortable home.

Have a wonderful Sunday today!  I  know we won't be doing too  much with the heat returning.  I am going to plant my cherry bomb plants today.  I'm sure they'll love the heat too.
