Go baby!

Today temptation set in! We were running erands in Idaho Falls, when we happened upon Broadway Ford. There happened to be a blue Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500 on the lot. So we happened to stop by to look. And then Gene and Chelsea happened to go for a test drive! The picture above is of Gene pulling out of the parking lot. He tells me they got it up to 145 mph! Glad I wasn't there. Anyways, they both came back drooling and sold. Chelsea was ready to sign on the dotted line! (Yea right)

I did take a picture of her in it! I told her I was going to make a poster of it and she could hang it in her bedroom to remind her of why she should go to college and get a degree!

Happy 4th everyone!

Kaboom!

Fireworks a couple of days early! These are over Arlington Cemetery and I got the picture from National Geographic, one of my favorite magazines!

So hope you have lots of things planned for the weekend! We don't exactly have anything planned, some family members have other plans so I don't if we will see them. Hope so, hope they know they are always welcome!

Anyways, I love fireworks! The kind that shoot in the air! This is the one time when I bend the law a little and shoot some off, even though they aren't legal! A girl's got to have a little fun sometime! We are going to fireworks tomorrow night, Saturday night, and shooting our own off on Sunday night! I am so excited and I plan on taking pictures this year! Trying to figure out this whole Aperture thingie on my camera! :)

Hope you have tons of fun and lots of family this weekend! I will check in periodically!

Be safe!

My flowers have really struggled this year, with all the rain! But in the last week, with a little sunshine and heat, they are starting to snap out of it!

I kind of feel like them, after a week of warmth and sunshine, I am snapping out of it!

Hope you are enjoying all of Heavenly Father's beautiful gifts today!

You go, girl!

We own the ground behind our home and rent it to Gene's cousin, Doug, to farm. Doug and Ty (his son) have hay on it. This year has not been good for hay and we are about 2 weeks behind when it should have been cut. Ty and his wife, Kari, also just started building a house, so Ty is doing double duty right now. Well, last night they started to mow the hay behind us and didn't go too far. Then this morning the mower started up and away it went. I didn't pay too much attention to it, until it got right behind our house. Kari was driving! Woo hoo! You go girl! So I had to grab the camera and take a picture or two! Kari has become a full-fledged farmers wife!

I love Sunshine!

Today is gorgeous! Hot, but gorgeous! After all the rain, I appreciate the sunshine!

I didn't have a cutsy title today! Just a lot of little things to post. We spent the entire weekend hanging siding in between rain storms. It went really good until yesterday. After church, we came home and it rained. No, correction. Poured! and hailed! rained more! hailed more! My flowers and garden are in shreds. We got over 3/4 of an inch! For Pete's sake! We have over 3 1/2 inches for June so far! June! 14 days! Enough already!

Anyways, Jeremy finished the back of the family room! We are so greatful! Don't know what we would do without him!

I will try and get more sleep tonight and be back to my perky, quirky self tomorrow!

Productive!

It has been a productive couple of days, even dodging the rain! Our house has been in the process of being sided for 2 years. One son started, then had to bail because of personal problems. Another son and son in law promised help, but after asking over and over again for the past year, Gene and I started on it in April. We haven't gotten far, about 1/8 of the back of the house. But yesterday we started in earnest, and got the entire back our house where the deck is, done. At least the first 9 feet. The rest our son Jeremy is coming to help us with tomorrow, in between rain storms! This is the hardest part, and we two old people don't have good enough balance to attempt it anymore! Twenty years ago, Gene and I would have tackled this, no problem, but now it is overwhelming. Add to that that all of a sudden we have the plague in our family and no one wants to help us, because they don't need help. They have short memories, don't they. Oh well.

Tomorrow, another goal met!
