4th of July

DianaB · 07-02-2010, 02:24 PM

I'm going to Oklahoma in the morning to my Aunt Marva's house. Her granddaughter is getting married and since I'm close to her I figured that I should go. Marva called today and they need servers so I guess that I'll be needed at the wedding!! Several of my cousins will be there so we'll have a good time I'm sure.

I WAS planning on coming back home early Sunday.....and we have an invitation to go to a Fourth of July party.....like we do every year.....but Glen balked at going.....so we really have NO plans. I'm pretty ticked off at him so I may just stay at Marva's until Monday. I invited him to go with me to Marva's and he balked at that too so he can just spend the weekend alone.......well, with the dogs anyway!!! He just doesn't want to do anything any more......and I get so tired of it.

We will just spend the weekend getting the house back in order after having everything out of the two bedrooms. We'll probably end up grilling something on Sunday with the kids and driving out to watch some fireworks at the local baseball diamond - but that's about it. It is supposed to be rainy and cloudy all weekend - which is fine by me. It is usually wickedly hot over the 4th of July, so I'll take rainy and cloudy any time. But I do feel sorry for everyone who wants to be celebrating at the lake.

I had the kids yesterday and today. We were at the pool, and it was a hot sunny day...not a cloud in the sky! I'm going to the pool again tomorrow since it's going to be in the 90's. Jessie may bring the kids over again. They have such a great time in the pool!

There was a street fair today, but I missed it because I had the kids. I could go to the Festival tomorrow night for fireworks, but I don't know yet.

I'm just enjoying having the family over so much. I complain when the kids are here a bit because 3 children are a lot of work, but I really love having them here.
I also know that they won't always be young and so cute, nor will they want to hang out with Grandma so much, so I remind myself to cherish the moments with them. They really are very well behaved, although they don't get up to get things for themselves! I am having a sciatica flare up from running around getting them water, food, etc., etc. Mackenzie, on the other hand, cooked dinner last night. She is such a pleasure!!!

Can you tell I'm a proud Grandma?

Enjoy those kids, Judy

My across the street brother Jim and sil Teresa took their camper to the local lake, so we went out there today for hamburgers. Their 2 kids, one dil and 2 little granddaughters were there. Also my other brother, his son and dil and their little boy were there. We are all together a lot, but it's always still fun! We may go back out there tomorrow for fireworks.

That sounds like a lot of fun, Betsi! Don't hamburgers taste so much better cooked at the campground!!! I bet you really had a good time.

We went to Luling, watermelon capital of central Texas. Gary has a friend with a truck garden and huge vegetable stand. We bought two black diamond melons, one for us and one for the kids. Then we got a yellow melon and another striped red melon that is supposed to be really good. If we eat all this melon, we'll turn into a melon! LOL!

Melons taste sooo good! Enjoy!

I could die eating a good watermelon and be a happy woman, lol!
