Boy and Dog, Wordless Wednesday

Perhaps I should say, almost wordless Wednesday. lol Little guy next door romping about in his jammies (Mickey Mouse Jammies), and his dog, Heismann. Heismann is always just a hair away.

10 Thoughts for Tuesday

1. One of my favorite lillies for today is My Mother's Birthday. RIP and know you are remembered
2. The Japanese Beetle problem has lessened. YIPPEE
3. Darling Daughter is getting nervous about not yet having a job lined up. Keep your toes and fingers crossed, please.
4. Happy to report Hubby's feeling better (he's really been under the weather)
5. Sad news learning about the recent death of Walter Cronkite, he was really quite an icon.
6. I've not been feeling my best, allergies have been bad; though I think the meds are helping now.

8. Hubby's and my 40th class reunion is this wkend. Yikes, we're getting old.
9. Jan, my SIL is working hard preparing for a big horseshow this wkend. It's a shame it's the same wkend as our reunion. She and I and hubby all graduated together. Good Luck Jan, hope things go well for you.

Traditional 4th of July Celebration

To the right in my side bar you'll see a photo widget I made with the pictures from our 4th of July Celebration. We had more food then we needed (nothing new), drink a plenty, and games. There were 14 of us, and for awhile my 3 neighbors joined us making 17. We had corn on cob, salad, potato salad, marinated chicken breasts, a variety of drinks both soft and adult.

A good time was had by all. We played corn hole, had 2 games going at one time, badmitten...lots and lots of badmitten. Had the croquet set up; but we ended up not playing that game.

After the family all headed their separate ways, hubby and I walked down to our neighborhood fireworks display. It was wonderful! One of the best we've seen. We were up close and personal, loved it.

It was odd not having Mom with us this year, her favorite holiday and all; but she was in all of our thoughts as we enjoyed each others company.

***Question:
does anyone know if you can put one of those picture widgets in the actual post? I tried, but perhaps I didn't do it correctly?

Child Labor Laws, should this be reported?

See first, you gotta turn it on here.

Sometimes it takes more then one try.


Then you push, push, push.

"Jake, our you mowing in your PJ's?" The only thing as cool as Thomas The Train is Mickey Mouse.

He loves to come early in the morning. I was drinking my morning coffee, and had to run get my camera. If I could write, I think lots of fun short stories could be written about this little guy.
