HBD America

What a lovely weekend we have had so far. We did a BUNCH of work around the house after the owner of the painting company came to "fix" up the paint job that I was less than happy with.
It is now acceptable and I will spend the next week dusting the tops of my cabinets and returning all of the art and collectibles from our world travels to their appropriate places.

We headed over to St Pete last night so that mil could get her new cell phone. Best Buy was on my lift of things that I wanted to do this week and they happen to have Verizon in there. So, while Nanny got her new phone programmed and running, i ran over to the tv section. We walked out of their wth a 42 inch LCD tv for my master bedroom and oh my gosh, it is amazing.
Three years interst free payments on their cc and off we go.............yeah, i sat in the way bakc of the SUV curled in a ball, but heck, there are not all that many times when being my size(short and little) pays off. Last night happened to have been one of them. Small suv, 4 adults and child in booster sear all in same small SUV with HUGEEEE tv.

It is installed in my bedroom and I am luvin it. WOO HOO.

Today was so unusual for me. I am often, okay nearly every single day, awaked by my favorite lil man at no later than 7am. TOday was no different except that I told him I was not ready to get out of bed. And, I didn't. I rolled over again at 9:37 which is something that never happens and I must admit, I quite enjoyed it.

We worked together with Johnnie outside and me in the kitchen preparing burgers, salads, veggie dips, corn on the cob, and other assorted condiments ........then it was time for our own little parade. We decoted joshy's bike that I had never seen him ride and we all walked around the block with him honking his horn and it was a hoot. Note to self, if I am on the BOD we have a community bike/scooter/wagon parade for the lil ones. It was so much fun.
After that we jumped into the pool which was hugely refreshing and then we had some school friends join us.

Lovely lunch, great swimming, 3 lil boys, 5 pups, one parrot, and many proud mommies and daddies enjoying the holiday.

We are so thankful to have so many brave men and women serving to allow us to celebrate a day such as today. THANK YOU-ALL OF YOU.

Our day ended with a phenominal display of fireworks best displayed from our upstairs master bedroom windows and then a tired lil man passing out downstairs on the couch with his daddy.

I am off to watch something wonderful on my new tv. Just think although it sure feels like it, TOMORROW is Sunday and we get another day torecuperate. Nanny did all the dishes, I finished the laundry, no grocery shopping to do and AUNT SUE called and is back in the USA having had a fabulous time in Aruba. Can't wait to see her on Weds..

Hope everyone enjoyed.
