I know, if you're retired, you don't care about 3 days off in a row. But us worker bees really enjoy them. We got so much accomplished this weekend. Our July 4th menu was a do-over of Memorial day...for Mom. Since she was sick and missed it. We had pulled pork and potato salad. Mmmmmmmmm. Oh, and 3 different flavors of homemade ice cream - peach, vanilla and banana coconut. I didn't use to be a big ice cream fan, but I'm lovin' the homemade stuff! Aaaaand I made jerky. I just love yummy things.
Last night was the big fireworks show. I know what you're thinking, but it was the 5th. Yeah, we all thought the same thing. Seriously, who was the bonehead that said we should have our towns celebration on the 5th??? I am completely stumped by that one. So we got home late and had to get up early. Not cool. But...I got my elephant ear :-) It was delicious too.
Mom is settling into her new home nicely. I know she's frustrated that she can't do stuff, but it already seems just perfect for her. She has the most amazing neighbors. They've all introduced themselves and have been downright lovely to her. Just like in the good 'ol days. I love that for her. I can't wait to take the little rascals over to see the Grams new place!
We're expecting some miserable heat and humidity this week. Ahhhh, summertime. I don't mind though...we have AC. I do wonder though, how did people live without AC? Uh huh, I'm a sissy. I could live without a lot of things; dishwasher, ice maker, garage door opener, a mulching mower, a cell phone, even a microwave. But go without AC???? No way man!
