    Tired Tuesday

    After a fun filled, busy weekend… it’s hard to believe that it’s already Tuesday.

    We over-indulged…

    Enjoyed a carnival both from great heights…

    and with our feet firmly planted on the ground…

    The people watching is always fun…

    Of course, we still had more fun to pack in yesterday…

    A car show…

    Parade…

    Tractor rides for the kiddos…

    We never even made it to fireworks. Everyone was tired, sweaty and slightly sunburned. A shower and bed sounded like the best option.

    This morning the kids and I took my mom out to visit my dad’s grave. He would have been 84 today. We left red, white & blue flowers and placed little stones on his marker. I think it would have made him very happy. He always said he was a late firecracker.  He always treated the 4th of July as part of his birthday celebration too. Time for family, friends and fun. Makes me happy to think of it as that way as well.

    Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday weekend!  I think I need a nap now!

    8th anniversary swap

    Since we had a totally open theme this time around for the annual abc_alterbookclub anniversary swap…I decided to use this photo of myself and my grandpa that always makes me giggle. Neither one of us looks to happy about the whole deal.

    Here’s the original photo…

    We both look so crabby.  I did have a cute little dress though. *grin*
