• Today is Jake's 20th birthday.
  All I can say is Wow!!!!

  He has to work tonight, but we are going to have a nice birthday supper before he does.

  He chose strawberry trifle for his birthday dessert...and Alli is going to bake him a peanut butter sheet cake to take into work and share.

  He's sleeping now. His sleeping gets all messed up when he has holidays off.....working 3rd shift does that. 

  We were woke up very early this morning when some strong thunderstorms moved thru.

  There are lots of branches down.  Bob said trees are down, wires down...and limbs everywhere.

  He said some traffic lights were out in town as well.

  I saw on the news that power is out all over.

  Ours blinked out once, but came right back on....thankful for that.

  I will have Nikki get some pics of the branch that fell right next to our car...again, thankful it didn't fall on the car.

  Huge walnut trees surround our yard on all sides, so I always worry about downed limbs during storms...makes me 

  so nervous...thankful again, that mostly just small branches fell.....

  Guess I will call today, "Thankful Thursday."

  We had a nice 4th of July.

  We hung around at home.

  Very hot and humid.

  Gotta say I'm most thankful for our air conditioners right now.

  Bob and I made a trip to the grocery store.

  Nat tagged along as an extra cart pusher, lol.~

  We had hotdogs/coney dogs and sloppy joes, deviled eggs, sweet macaroni salad.

  Red, white and blue cupcakes for dessert.

  Ice cream cones later.

  The kids did lots of swimming, played games, watched some tv...

  nothing too exciting.

  Bob took some of the kiddos and went to the fireworks....the rest of us stayed home.

  We only have the 1 car...and it only seats 5 of us.....but that was okay, because not everyone really felt like going anyhoos.
