Lost puppy found

Well, I really was lost but can now, after more issues, post! Apparently I have a problem with my cookies. I never had a problem with my cookies before, unless it was perhaps not getting enough of them when I wanted them :)

You know, I am sure I felt tremors here Saturday but blamed them on a passing truck. Micky obviously has more power than I gave him credit for! I'm sure they will catch up on the back pay. Thank goodness they finally got the ball rolling huh?

Wish Jayme the best. She IS happy isn't she? I mean David and Mischa pointed out the lack of smiling. At the time I bought the whole they are too cool to smile thing, but with too cool to shout about the wedding....I don't know :) You think she is just trying to enjoy the moment and not let the crazy neighbor lady mess it up by her monotonous squealing? Luckily you have 3 daughters and between them I bet you go into mother-of-the-bride shock and have to delegate before it's all over. Think Steve will pop the question too and they can have a double wedding and save $$$? :D

So, Wal-Mart called. You'd think I'd feel more grateful. It's after 5 and unless the bank calls before 10 a.m. tomorrow, Wal-Mart it is. Perhaps it is meant to be. A paycheck would be nice and at least Wal-Mart is familiar. Not quite as close but the exercise will do me good. Mary suggested I try to do both, that's assuming that we believe the bank is just slow acting and not just not offering me the job. I would have to see if Wal-Mart would allow me to change my availability. Like Mary said, at least I don't need to buy new clothes to work at Wal-Mart. :D

Dave's birthday is July 1st. Mary and I talked about Saturday and since the 4th is on a Sunday we thought we'd have a patriotic cook out and go see the fireworks. So we invited big Matt, Michelle and the kids and Terry's daughter Jennifer cause they moved to Kansas recently. Well Jennifer called yesterday and said they were renting a cabin at the lake that weekend and invited us there instead. So we are waiting to see what Michelle says. If she already as plans with her sister we will go to the Lake for the Sunday. Jenny said if it comes right down to it they will go to the lake Friday and come up here Sunday so they get the best of both. Would be nice if Michelle would go to the lake with us but I can't see that since there are too many people to go in one car. Mary and I are just hoping for the Lake. :D

One of Eric's trip buddies posted pics on Facebook today. I was so thrilled to see Eric looking happy and rested. Haven't seen him look so good in YEARS. If anyone in the world deserved this trip it was him. He's quite the cutie too if I do say so. I don't understand why he can't post his own photos, maybe he just doesn't want to.

It has finally stopped raining. I get to sit on the deck and enjoy the Nasturtium's for a while. Did I tell you they bloomed? I love those things. They are almost glowing they are so bright. I had them for the first time in our first place in England. They are just so cheerful. My rose bush has doubled in height since it first bloomed. Time to look for a trellis I think! I am so thrilled that the fruit trees are taking off. And most of the Morning Glories survived. (along with some poison ivy too) I am trying to decide what evergreen I want to plant in a corner flowerbed. I keep alternating between American Holly and a blue spruce. And I can't figure out where to put the weeping willow, although I have a spot for the Mimosa.

Did I tell you I signed up for a free online drawing tutorial? I have had three lessons now. The instructor is slow but explains things very well and since I have never had formal instruction he has already given me several helpful hints just for the right tools and the mechanics. (like how to keep oils from your hands off the drawing) I did a drawing your Mom would've liked a few years ago. When we were in Tennessee we helped Larry with the cotton fields and I took some photos that I ended up using for a composition. It was an old barn that I put in the middle of a cotton field, with some of the bolls in close perspective. Eric used to have it, I don't know if it has survived.

Guess I better go do something to earn my keep. Don't you just love laundry :D

Be good, love ya!
