My Birthday

Well today is my birthday, Jack made coffee for me and gave me a cute card with a chicken playing an accordian on the front of it, when you open it, It plays the chicken dance cracked me up they played that dance at our wedding. he also gave me money for my birthday which I appreciate as under the present circumstance I could really use the green. LOL He is going to take me to dinner I think tonight.

Well not much to report I actually hooked up with some girls from my past on face book yesterday. dating back to the 70's I feel old, as their children whom I remember as infants are now married and have kids of their own. It was great to hear from Dianne and Wendy again hope they keep in touch.

Nothing else really to report only that I will probley go to walmart today and pick up a few needed items. and maybe take a ride over to my aunt's house to see what she is up to today.

Tomorrow night, I think I will be attending a wake as my friend Wendy Whalen from elementary and High school years lost her sister Mary so I should go as I know her mom and Dad and love them very much. RIP Mary.

Well I guess I am off for the day
til I write again

4th of July,
Well didn’t do anything exciting went to see my aunt and visited with her for a few hours. Jack had to work until 1:30 and by the time I got home around 3:30 he had taken Thena for a ride. He didn’t get back until about 4:20. I went through my usual routine of making BBQ chicken for dinner. A holiday dish, which we don’t cook outside. We watched the fireworks on TV they were beautiful. Our town didn’t have the big fireworks display at the point this year for some reason. So watching on TV was the best we could do.

I started a surprise for Melissa’s new baby that will be arriving in January won’t be done for a while so will keep working on it. NO hints Melissa!!!! Lately I have been feeling like sewing again but not sure what I should sew LOL I have actually gone downstairs in my sewing room the past few days something I haven’t done for a long time. But it feels good to actually feel like doing something again.

On to my Casey, this little dog amazes me constantly. He was diagnosed with the cancer back in September of 08; Vet only gave him 6 to 9 months to live. Other then the fact that he is blind in one eye and only has partial vision in his other eye. He is nuts. He has been playing and goofing around everyday. He nose dives into the couch and rolls around on his back I love to see him play like that. He acts like he is a little puppy again. He recently got his haircut so I think that has a lot to do with it. He feels like a puppy again.

I hope he continues to play for a long while. I love him so much. Jack is out in our garden weeding, I keep bugging him about bringing in some vegetables so we can eat them he says they are not ready just yet. Hurry up!!!! Thena is sitting on the sun porch watching her dad down below. When she is outside she can open the door to come in by herself so when she opens the door she sits in the sun porch with the door wide open and lets all the bugs in. I tell her in or out you decide she usually picks in so I have to close the door on her. She is a handful sometimes. She has already gotten into a bag of garbage and licked out a can of dog food that was in there for Casey took out an empty butter container and licked the paper of the butter. Why this dog isn’t sick is beyond me she so can’t be trusted. Jack told me she actually drank my coffee from my mug that was on the coffee table yesterday. Imagine that. The dog likes coffee.


Well not much more to report for today, hope everyone had a safe 4th.
