A visit to Grandpa

Picture Smorgasbord

Here are a bunch of pictures for you! (if you want to see any of them bigger, click on the image for more detail)

I am caving and posting the mural for all to see. That is how nice I am. A few of my friends made it over but the rest are slackers. And I know there are some people who won't be able to come and see it.

The rest of the pictures are what I purchased with my birthday gift certificate to the country village. I love you guys for getting that for me. You rock. I spent about 90 mins in one store, surrounded by beautiful things, with a ton of money to spend. Bliss!



Have a wonderful week-before-school!

The Fair

Lucas and I went to the fair over the weekend.














World's biggest and most questionable corndog



















Such a small guy on such big rides!





















Meeting a police officer

Friendship

We attended the 40th Birthday of a good friend yesterday. It was "adults only" so I went on a quest for a babysitter. Our friend's 11 year old son was then hired for his first babysitting job. We knew he was young but he is a great kid and the son of wonderful people.

We dropped Lucas off (Ellie was with Grandma), and off we went to the party. It was a surprised and she was indeed surprised! It was a wonderful night with friends.

As is usual at our parties, the women and the men separate and I sit with my girlfriends and talk. I love those girls. They are such good friends, the type you can just be yourself with and relax and have fun. The type that are more like family than friends.

When we left to pick up Lucas, our babysitter needed to be convinced to let me pay him. I finally got him to take it. Lucas had a fun time full of Star Wars, Transformers and Bionicle play. Dream come true!

We are off to Canada today for one last trip before the end of summer. Can you believe it is already here?

I said I would never do it

Buy my girl Princess shoes:


What can I say, she wouldn't even entertain the thought of trying on anything else. It was that or I am a sucker.

Yummy Dinner

A big shout out to the seafood haters who read my blog! Hi V and L!

But dinner was so good the other night that I had to share:


It was "New England Seafood Bake" and it was so easy and so good.

You just put sliced red potatoes on the bottom of the foil, put the cod next, then the shrimp, corn on the side, top with sliced lemons.

Then you add a dollop of butter mixed with salt, pepper, chopped dill and chopped garlic, wrap in foil, put on the grill at medium for 14 mins.

I loved it and it was a hit at our house. Definitely adding this to the menu options.

Looking to the future
