Sunday Night

Well...Tony and I are both feeling the effects of the Sunday night blues after a long, holiday weekend. The 4th was so-so as expected. The rain did stop just long enough to enjoy the parade but started up again and showered off and on all day. We went to the booths briefly to have some lunch but once the dock got crowded...we were out of there! We had hoped to go back on Saturday but the weather was even worse so there was no way we were going to do that! We ended up taking Jake to see "Wall-E", which was a really cute movie and a good way to spend a rainy afternoon.



Here are some cute pictures of the kids on the 4th (above). We had Jackie and Lily with us from downstairs. It was fun to have some extra kids with us. Man! They got SO MUCH candy at the parade!!















We, once again, we didn't get a fireworks show. They decided to light the fireworks but the cloud ceiling was so low you couldn't see anything. This bit of info I heard thru the grapevine as we could see ourselves there was no way we would be able to see anything. We weren't about to drive into town at 11pm to NOT see fireworks. LAME!!!!

On a brighter note, the 4th does bring a lot of people back to town. There are always a handful of people we know here for reunions and such. It's nice to see folks that have moved away that we haven't seen for a while. :) One such fellow is my friend, Eli Stewart. He is here with his wife and baby from Texas. They are missionaries down there and so we don't see them often (not in the budget) so it is a real blessing when they do get to come. I've known Eli and his family for many years and he has grown into a wonderful "young" man. Check out his blog under Eli, Mandy & Ava that I've listed under "Favorite Bloggers". They are a wonderful family!

Anyhooooooo...not much else is happening. It's back to the grind tomorrow. Personally, I hate Mondays! Oh well....as Eli said in church this morning, "It's OK to be tired...but NOT OK to have a bad attitude!" That made me smile. :)

Well...I had some video to post of our bagpipers in the parade but it's too long so Tony is trying to edit it for me. I'll add it later. It's getting late and tomorrow is the beginning of a very busy week for me. You may not hear much from me the next several days. We'll see.

Blessings to you all~ Nanette
