The 4th of July is finally here. Firework sales have been very, very good this year.
Every night the sky around our house has been lit up. And there have been lots of cities that have had celebrations on different nights.
There are flags flying everywhere. The Rotary Club in Rockwall puts flags out and takes them up on every holiday for those that pay to have a flag in their yard or subdivision.
There are parades and parties going on everywhere too. Some pets don't seem to mind the loud noise and fireworks or even dressing up.
Wherever you are, I hope you ate lots of good food and had fun with others! The party is almost over! Now it is almost time for me to get ready for work again.
But I will probably be wearing red, white, and blue the rest of the week. Happy 4th of July on this wonderful Independence Day!
Good afternoon to you. Its warming up to another hot and humid day. I already have the air conditoner on. My husband and I worked out in the yard most of the afternoon yesterday. We were cleaning up the tree limbs from the wind storm we had a week ago. It was a hot and humid day yesterday. We usually go and get groceries on Sunday evening and eat out. But we didn't last night as we were tired and sweaty from working in the yard. Do you have anything planned for the 4th? We do, we are going down the street to Tony, my husband, sister's house for eating out in the yard and then watching the younger ones pop fireworks later after it gets dark. I'm just taking it easy this afternoon. I did go to Walmart and get the stuff we needed since we didn't go yesterday. Enjoy the rest of your day my friend and take care and stay cool. Many hugs to you, Cheryl
Happy Monday! Do you have family or friends around for the holiday weekend?
I have a friend on a cruise out of Galveston. Beautiful picture in the Gulf of Mexico on their first evening aboard.
My son called Saturday night on FaceTime. The whole family ran a 3K at Texas Motor Speedway and then went to the Foam Party. I took pictures while we were on FT. This is Michelle asking me to take a picture. They had so much fun.
This is a picture I took the morning of July 1st. I hope it is still this pretty by the 5th or 6th after everyone in our neighborhood has shot off millions of $ in fireworks. From 10 to midnight Saturday night, on and off were lots of BOOMS. Our dogs were not happy. Last night there were some but not too many going off.
I did get a video from my family in Bowie, Texas. They had friends and family over to watch from their yard since about 3 different places near them shot off fireworks all around the lake. Just 2 more nights to go.
Sunday... July... Summer... Vacation... I hope you are enjoying all of these even the hot and dry days ahead.
Whatever you do this summer, make memories with others. Then you will both always have them to share.
Remember that doesn't just apply to couples but to friends too. I am blessed to have friends with totally different opinions than mine. It makes us both stop and think.
If you Love him, this applies here too. And it too, is also meant for friends. After all, love is what it is all about.
Friday afternoon and the weekend traffic has already started. The lines to check in at the airport were very long as shown on TV early this morning.
We both smiled this morning and visited with everyone we encountered as we were going from store to store checking things off our lists.
My question is... who let the sunshine in? This summertime heat is a killer. Just getting the eggs from next door and putting out fresh water for the chickens had us dripping with sweat.
Long Story... I will shorten it. Kelly hired a Senior BOA from another Edward Jones location. She has been there 7 years and wants to be closer to where she lives. She wanted to start July 17th, however, the FA, financial advisor, she is working for is having a new baby and wants to take 6 weeks of paternal leave. So she is not transferring until August 16th. I am there for another 6 weeks. I am off for 5 days, Friday-July 4th and go back Wednesday. I will probably work M-F the next 2 weeks because Kelly is on vacation. Then 3 weeks of about 3 days a week before the new girl takes over.
This will be such a BLESSING for KELLY to have someone that is already trained and can just walk in, take over, and help Kelly build her business. God is Good and He always has a PLAN.
Oh my, its a humid afternoon here. Its only 84 but feels a lot warmer than that. Its cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms later today. Hopefully we won't get anything like last time. More wind than rain. I hope you are having a good Friday afternoon. I'm late getting on here as I went to a Thrift store at noon today, then when I got home I had to go to the pharmacy and pick up a prescription. Time seems to fly by in the mornings but drag by after it hits 3 pm. Well have a good weekend my friend. Hope it isn't to hot there. Take care, hugs, Cheryl
Good afternoon to you. I hope it isn't to hot where you live. Its a warm afternoon here. Its 91* here but feels hotter than that. Not much going on here. Just wanted to drop in and say Hi. Hope you are doing good. Take care my friend. Many hugs too you, Cheryl.
