Busy Day

We are having fun on our staycation...we to a second show in two weeks...We went to see the "Lone Ranger".  We really enjoyed the movie..,Johnny Depp is an absolute hoot as Tonto...good entertainment and a clean movie.

Sam went out with his Dad to his Grandpa Grahn' house and was ble to pay Grandpa's new set of drums...he had a ball...plus he is getting really good!

Happy Day After

We really had a very awesome 4th ...kids over and friends...ended up being a fun day.  Cindy, kris and Sam ended up be our host and hostess...kris cooked delicious ribs.

After the part we want up to our friends driveway and watched our city firework display...it was one of the best in years...lasted 30 minutes and our friend served homemade vanilla ice cream...an old family recipe...it is the first I have had that even comes close to Grandma Powell's

.  By the way do any of you know that recipe she had?  also I long for three childhood tastes from our grandma

Apple utter

Blackberry cobbler

Angelfoo cake

She would make them for me on each visit...and her biscuits were the only ones I ate or have since then...I remember the lightness and balanced flavor...OMG with that homemade apple butter❤

Happy Day Sistas!!!

What???

I am worried about Helen and Patsy...anything I should know???

League Camps

Paxton's baseball team just won league championship...whoot whoot

We just got home a little bit ago....taught the little ones at Sunday School, then went with another couple for lunch at a Liberty restaurant...came home for a little bit and iced my knee...then off to the ball game..sure glad it was not beastly hot...it was beautiful outside.

Paxton is the one on the right...he is Paul's oldest and he will be in High School next year.

Sam

Sam had an awesome time at camp.  It didn't rain on them even one day. He swam every day, he learned to ride a horse, archery everyday and he even zip lined.  They keep them very busy...he sure enjoyed sleeping in his own bed last night.  They stopped and ate sushi on the way home from camp.

Home

We went out to eat after the Dr and then went to the show....this was a real treat for us...we sure laughed out loud at the new Sandra Bulloc movie "The Heat".  Crude but absolutely hillaous.

I am scheduled for out patient surgery on Monday   July 8th and if he has a cancellation...July 5th...a couple of weeks and I should be fine...I'm ready!!!

Dr tomorrow

Have been doing so much sitting...have been really pissed about this Paula Deen thing and have been doing a lot of research as I sit here icing and resting the knee...I have my own real conspiracy...President Obama is out of the country with his family and this whole unraveling of Paula Deen starts and it just like a cancer....

I found out tonight from some pretty hiGh sources in the Democratic Party that Paula has been a huge supporter of President Obama and had many different endorsement parties...I don!'t think that this unraveling is a coincidence ...but instead a well orchestrated plan to undermine her.

This is absolutely ridiculous!!!!  She is not a racist !!!!

Sam

Sam is attending a week long Autistic camp and this is a picture of him when Cindy dropped him off today.  This is a big adventure to stay away without a parent attending. I just know it will be an awesome experience for him.❤

Dreams

Now I will probably have dreams about snakes.....YUCK!!!

I always have my eyes out for snakes....I hate the water moccasins in the water when I fly fish!!

I go for myMRI at 11:15 today.

Blooming Flowers

Blooming Flowers really make my heart sing...Hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday afternoon❤

All finished!,,

Making My Famous Jello Salad

Putting my cane aside for a few minutes...I made my famous Jello salad for a cookout tomorrow.  I'm one lucky gal to have to gorgeous aprons to wear during the process.  Also...I have my MRI for my knee scheduled for 6/25...X-rays show knee is alright...just have to see now if it is the meniscus on the outside of the knee...not too much pain 

Home Again

We had a great time and worked hard around the outside. I fished one day ...then a lot of folk came in.  Tweaked my knee pretty good.. Have an appointment with Mike's orthopedic Dr on Thurs..I feel real old using a cane!

Helen

June Gwaltney Reunion

Susie's niece posted this picture from their June family reunion...I told Sue that this is the first time I thought she looked like her Mom.  It sounds like they had a fantastic time and their family group is growing each year!

Me.

I kind of accomplished taking a picture of myself...wrinkles and all.  I am so excited to not be wearing glasses.  Everything is brighter and I see more bright colors.  Now if the rain would ever stop...we put off going to the camper for a week...the report is that the water is really high...no fun fishing!

School is out!

Sam and Tanner spent the afternoon and night...Sam is now in 7th and Tanner is now in 6th!   mike took them swimming yesterday afternoon...then CIndy and Kris came over and we ordered pizza.  When we order pizza we can also get a free movie rental..They picked Hotel Transylvania..it was funny!

Sam had to say good-bye to his Resource Teacher because she is moving to Florida...he has been with her since 3rd Grade...he is now full inclusion in regular classroom...what a blessing!

Below are picture of Sam with his Resource Teacher Jenny Forst and then he and Grandpa eating breakfast this morning.
