Thursday means that we are closing in on the weekend.  So time to polish your dancing shoes.  

It is almost time to go "Boot Scootin'" all weekend long.  Turn up the music baby!  Let's get the party started.  

Don't be shy.  If words fail just dance and sing it out loud along with everyone else.  

Music is love... Dance is love... Dancing to music with the one you love is the greatest happiness and that makes everyone beautiful.  

Now come on... who wants to go and have some fun?  Follow me!  Now... Do as I do... 

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!  

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.

hope your week-end

is as happy as this

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.  

Happy Caturday!  My girls came over Thursday afternoon with a new maltipoo puppy.  Nothing like a baby to love!  

Learning to be kind to animals and people is a must for children and adults alike.  

And puppy kisses, yes puppy breath are the best - OK all babies.  Any body have a new baby around, human or animal?  

So this Caturday, let just sit and remember the times we had a new grandbaby to hold or a new puppy or kitty to lovel  

And then let's look forward to the holiday celebrations coming up on Tuesday!  What are you cooking?  

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.  

I had a good day off.  Got the backyard watered, showered, ran errands, bought groceries, and ate Mexican Food at our favorite local spot.  

So do you have any plans for the "maybe" long weekend?  Oh, the beach would be so nice.  

Have you ever seen or been in water this clear?  I know one of my friends has been but I have not.  

Have you been to Arkansas and seen this glass Church?  It is bound to be surrounded by trees.  

Maybe you have been to Ruby Fall in TN.  My kids were there recently and Hubby and I were there in 1982 after we went to the World's Fair.  

What are some of the places you have been or that you are wanting to go see?  Just know that wherever you go you are safe under the protection of God's arms.  

Good Morning Wednesday!  My day off and I will be outside watering plants this morning.  

I saw this picture and what memories it brought back of just over 20 years ago when we lived in South Texas.  I had a 3' tub planter of Bird of Paradise with lots of blooms that I left behind when we moved.  

What?  You left a plant behind?  Yes, I knew it would not survive in this colder weather.  It still breaks my heart.  

Now before that Texas sun beats down on us again today, I really need to water the plants I do have growing and wilting daily.  

After all, they are all lined up waiting for a refreshing drink this morning.  Then there is the grocery list that is waiting too.  

Seems like everyone in this house wants to be fed... dogs and humans alike.  

Happy Tuesday!  Another day and another decision.  What do you make of this day?  

You never know where a compliment will lead.  Maybe to a lifelong friend.  

They might turn out to be someone who will always be truthful with you and make you laugh.  You know, a lifelong friend!  

After all, you never know the path a smile and a kind word will take you on.  

Last Monday of the month and then we have a fresh start on a new month with FireWorks!  

So get your Sparkle on and Stand Out today so everyone you meet sees the Love that is inside of you.  

I hope you have a wonderful day everyday this week and share the light inside you with others.  

Make it the best week of your life so far this year and the blessings will be the best yet too.  

I miss you so much and your daily bulletins.  I am praying for you, Lee!  

Sunday is here and I will be working on Monday and Tuesday.  I was so busy on Saturday that I didn't get to visit each of you but I did post a bulletin.  

So it is a new week and I am still playing catch up.  Can you believe this is the last week of June and that half this year is over?  

When it comes to housework and trying to get things done that I don't like doing, I always want to run away.  

But then in the middle of grumbling, you look around and the Blessings just are all around you.  

Something so beautiful is right there in front of you and it puts a smile on your face.  

OK, it was only a flower and maybe a hummingbird too but they both put a smile on my face.  

Work, work, work!  Now it is Friday!  Can't wait to get home even though the day has just begun.  

Amazing how we can smell the weekend.  Any big plans for you?  I am anxious to rest up for work again on the last Monday of June.  

I am waiting on quitting time.  I know it is just around the corner.  I can see it.  I can feel it.  

I am Sherlock Holmes after all.  I am quite the detective and have a very good nose for sniffing out things.  

However, it might cost you several bones for me to divulge this information.  

Now let us all get on with starting the weekend off right.  Line Dance, anyone?  

Thursday, enjoy today.  Friday will be here before we know it.  And the weekend will come and go too fast.  

So get your jam on today because after all... You Rock!!!

That is a daily requirement.  You never want someone to forget it!  

Love is the most important and to have love in your heart that you share with others is vital.  

Remember it is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.  

You are beautiful for sharing your friendship and your love with me.  Thanks so much!  

This Tuesday is my last day off this week.  I will be at work for the next three days.  

Last day to check and see which plants need water and other chores around the house.  

Of course that means it is my last day to run errands too.  There is always so much on my list.  

So today I will put on my tap shoes and get after that list of things to do.  Do you have anything special planned?  

Now where is that list and where is the sunshine?  I really do need sunshine and Vitamin D to make it through the rest of the week.  

Oh what blessings today brings!  Smiles and thankfulness are at the top of our lists.  

You have the choice to be happy or let something or someone change that for you!  

There is not one of us that doesn't have a mess going on in their life.  I choose to let God help with those things.  

While all of us have problems, all of us also have Blessings.  Choose to concentrate on the good things for which we are thankful everyday.  

If I don't like the first picture I take, I take another one and just delete the first one.  You know how I love pictures.  

Make your choice!  Find out what Blessings upon Blessings are in store for you this week!  

I miss you lots!  Prayers for you are being said.  Pam

It is Father's Day after all.  So what's up?  

I hope it is a peaceful and relaxing day and you make fun memories.  

Do you grill Hotdogs and Hamburgers or Chicken and Steak?  Or do the kids take you out to eat?  

I hope you all sit around and tell stories, relive the past, and make memories to remember forever.  

Whatever you do today, do it together.  Be happy, kind and have fun with each other.  

Blessings for a peaceful Father's Day.  Make it a wonderful time together that no one wants to forget.  

Are you cooking out this weekend?  Are you celebrating today or tomorrow?  Are you kids coming to see you?  

I hope you have beautiful weather.  Maybe you will be out on the water. sailing!  

Do you have a cabin on a lake somewhere that you are going for the weekend?  

Are you going camping with the family or just a Father/Son get away?  I hope it isn't too dry to build a fire for Coffee and maybe a cookout.  

Maybe you will see a Kiskadee or some other rare bird as you are walking through the woods.  

I hope the dog gets to go too because after all, he is man's best friend.  A father, a child, and a dog together would be a perfect weekend with BBQ of course.  

Whatever you do, make wonderful memories to share for a lifetime!
