I finally have been able to work on my blog.....just a little!  

I know that the 1st of July is not until Wednesday, but I decided to go ahead and switch over to the Red, White  Blue month.

Who is ready for some good ol' Watermelon eating?  As you can see......My friends sure love their melons!

This picture was taken a couple of years ago.....on the 4th of July!

I'm ready to eat some myself!!   

Friends make life Grand.......

Sitting here this evening, watching one of my very favorite movies....."Sweet Home Alabama."

I'm guessing that I have seen this movie at least  20 or more times!   I never get tired of it and it is so amazing how each time I watch it, I see something that I never noticed before!   

What do I love about this movie???   When it comes down to it..... It's all about TRUE LOVE!  As much has I like Patrick Dempsy.....this is one movie that I'm glad he wasn't chosen to be "THE ONE."

Josh Lucas, who plays Jake Perry....has the prettiest Blue eyes and he has my heart in this particular movie!!   Lol.

One thing that can be learned in the plot of SHA is that one always needs to be honest!   Honesty can sure save a lot of heartaches.  

Honesty and true love......2 things I love !!!!!

Hugs y'all...I have a show to watch!

almost back to normal

I am happy to report that my back is so much better.   I still feel stiff, but at least I can now stand up without feeling like I have a knife jabbing into my back.   I've been to the chiropractor three days in a row now and I can definitely feel the difference. 

Bless my poor grand kids hearts.....they were looking forward to stopping at Duck Dynasty on the way home.....and stopping at the boardwalk in Shreveport,  to shop at the Bass Pro Shop.   

You know..... I think we underestimate kids at times.   Trey and Mylee were so understanding and so very helpful.  Both of them catered to me. They placed one of my bells (from my collection) on my night stand.   I think they both were so eager  for me to  ring it when I needed something.

This is so cool!   And it is simply made from wood pallets!   It is so amazing how many neat things can be with these things.   I saw several of them at the Pecan Growers show and as you can imagine.... My mind was racing with many decorating ideas.   

I can't wait to post a picture of our new fence!  I saw a fence in an outdoors magazine that I fell in love with.  Sam purchased all the supplies and went to work on it.

I am one happy camper.....as it turned out just like the one in the magazine!!!!   Thank you sweetheart!!! 

Wow.... I just looked at the clock and its almost my bedtime!!!!!!     I'm not a late (nighter)!!!   Anytime between 9:00 and 10:00.....you will find me crawling into bed.   

So....I must say "night, night, sleep tight.....don't let the bed bugs bite."

BACK....from Mississippi

We are home from Mississippi and I have no pictures to post of this trip.   Very disappointing for me.   

Sam had a good show at the Pecan Growers meeting......Mylee and Trey had a great time in the pool and they enjoyed seeing the Mississippi river..... For me.....it was quite an interesting trip!

For about three or four months now, my hips have been hurting and my back has felt out of place!  These things make for good signs that exercise is important.  I believe that the older we get, the MORE exercise we need.

Have I been paying close attention to my body and to my beliefs on the exercising thing???  No...the answer is NO I HAVEN'T.

All it took for me was a very hard bed for two nights in a hotel....and lifting a suitcase.  Not a heavy suitcase at that....just a simple bag, and suddenly......my back goes out!

I can definitely testify that having to ride for 5 hours to get home, with a back that is shooting sharp pains all across my lower back....was not FUN!

Could not have happened at a worse time.   I've had grandkids since last Wednesday and they will be here until tomorrow.   Don't get me wrong....the kids have been awesome.   I just feel so bad that we haven't been able to entertain them the way I had intended, while their parents were away.   

Poor Sam.....he had to cook his own Father's day meal.  I must say, the BBQ ribs, baked potatoes and baked beans were totally awesome!  He did an excellent job....   

I went to the chiropractor this morning for an adjustment.   Hopefully, in two or three days....I will be back on my feet!

I had no idea that it had been 2 years since I had seen my Chiropractor.   My....how time fly's.   I intend to do keep up with my monthly adjustments from here on out!!

Hope you all have a day filled with much joy...
