Edgewoodfest faces

Friday night was great, but the heat was just unbearable Saturday. The heat index was 107.5, and the humidity was 79 per cent, still it did not rain...just horrible. Also, it cost $15.00 per adult to get in and then they had to spend $12 on a wrist band for the kids to ride the carnival rides...so all in all, I made more money in 2 hours Friday than I did all day on Saturday. I'm pretty sure I will not be doing this event again, but still enjoyed the wee ones an the face painting...

Edgewoodfest

Well, I was a big hit at the first night of the festival last night! I was planning on leaving as soon as the sun went down because I have no lights, but I just couldn't say no to those little faces and ended up painting by the lights on the tilt-a-whirl....lol...I really ejoyed it so much, even tho we are in the heat... and humidity of the summer...off I go again today for a LONG day...

When there is nothing to watch on TV, you can always depend on a Rambo movie to be on, right?

Happy Birthday, George!

Only in Kinmundy....

Only in Kinmundy...I was outside tonight and kept hearing music, pretty soon it got closer and it was the theme from the Lone Ranger...yep, some guy had a huge boom box in the back of his pick-up riding around town with the Lone Ranger theme blasting....I can't make this stuff up....I got quite a laugh out of it and made me appreciate my crazy little town.

Foster's , where are you?

Mom and I went on a wild goose chase today looking for Foster's Bar and Grill who called an want me to face paint there this Saturday at their summerfest...the original place burned down and I had to go into Mamamia's pizzaria and ask where their new location was, turn here, turn there, drive there...lol...finally made it!! Had to have caramel frappes too!

Lunch with the girls

Heading out to lunch with Jeannell and Teresa today. Always a fun time with those two... :-)

We had a great time with my bro Kent and family last night! So good to see him. I just picked some fresh basil and dug new potatoes, gonna have some roasted in the oven with basil, garlic and olive oil...yummy!.....where are my Mentos?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wasn't feeling well this morining, took some strong sinus/allergy meds and am better now. I made myself go outside and take a bike ride and walked the dog. I felt better so I baked a chocolate cake with icing and sprinkles. How exciting....I think I hear people snoring out there....

Free Willy

Bill saved a turtle from a horrible death by weed eater today. We named him terri and kept him as a pet for about 15 minutes then released him at Kinmundy Lake...yep...a real
"Free Willy" moment...I know...we are insane, right?

Chipmunks running amuck in Haltermanville

Chipmunk house..........

We have been outside having coffee , watching the chipmunks run around the trees and across the grass. A nice cool morning.

Summer is definitly here!

has been outside working in the garden, listening to my favorite music, tried to think of it as a tanning opportunity........but yikes...it's too hot for me! Bill is downtown selling lemonade shake-ups today, so I think I'll just stay in the AC....stay cool!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my son, Darren, today! Hope you are having a great day, son!

Aliens vs Predator

My mother-in-law just came over here to get us, something has left huge foot prints in her garden, I mean ALL over the garden, and dug up some potatoes in the process! My guess is space aliens.......Bill thinks it's a family of foxes, I'm voting for the aliens.

Take me back to the 60's

Bill Milam sent me this and it really took me back to my younger days:

Memorial Day

It'sMemorial Day, I would like to thank all of the soldiers who have
served and died through the years to keep our wonderful country a free
and safe place to live. On a personal note, I would like to thank my
many family members who have served also:my dads, my uncles, my
brothers, my son-in-law, my sister-in-law and a special thanks... to my youngest son,
Preston, who has made it his life's career to serve our country every
day. I love and salute you all.

Mother's day, 2009

We took the moms out Saturday night, to Smokey Snow's, in Salem. We had a great meal and a fun time. All of my youngin's called yesterday too..enjoyed the day just relaxing.

Avatar...what a cool movie

We just finished watching "Avatar", wow, wow, wow, James Camerson outdid himself this time, just fantastic, I highly recommend it.

I have been out hoeing the garden, and hilling the potatoes and feeding the tomatoes and blueberries, I guess a storm is coming this afternoon, otherwise I wouldn't have to work so hard this morning..... :-P....I'm having a great day though, and am wearing my ridiculous straw hat that makes me look like Mother goose....

The Fourth Kind

just finished watching "The Fourth Kind"....very disturbing docu/drama...with actual audio and footage...has anyone seen it, and what did you think?

P.S. after some "wickipedia-ing"...found out this movie was all fake, as far as the "actual video" which was also done by actors...boo!
