Friday Funny

And sometimes we do it just to annoy our children!

What a weekend!

Had our bestest friends Nurse Nancy, Fly Boy and Junior Bird Man here this past weekend. What a blast. I'll start with Friday.

Nurse Nancy and I traveled to St. Martin a few years ago for a girls weekend. While there, we took a bus from the French side of the island to the Dutch side - Sint Maarten to the town of Phillipsburg. On our trip, which included jewelry shopping and souvenir shopping, we popped into the Guavaberry Store. Guavaberry liqueur is the island's specialty. While browsing around, the store salesperson offered to make us Guavaberry Coladas to sample. Of course we felt obligated to taste then as to not offend the lovely woman who was kind enough to make them. We were offered a small cup to sample. They were delicious. Had there not been other people in the store, I might have begged asked for another sample.

After making our purchases, Guavaberry Liqueur included, we started our trip back to the jewelry store to pick up our purchases and meet the bus back to our resort. About 100 yards from the store, we simultaneously looked at each other and began laughing as the drink hit us at the same time. And knocked us on our butts. I have never in my life been hit by a single drink so fast.

Back to the weekend. So, five years later, both our bottles of this sweet goodness remained unopened. Until Friday. I made two pitchers of Guavaberry Coladas. Nurse Nancy and I drank all but one glass which Fly Boy sampled. Shortly after our first few sips, our feet became numb. And we started laughing. And didn't stop for a long time.

Needless to say, dinner was not served until after 8:30.

More stories to follow.

Three Words

These three words say it all.

Spending this Fourth with Nurse Nancy, Fly Boy and Junior Birdman. Enjoying the good friends, the pool (finally) and some baseball. It doesn't get more American than this!

Have a wonderful Fourth! And God Bless America!!!!!

One Wonderful Weekend

We spent the weekend with our good friends Nurse Nancy, Fly Boy and Junior Birdman, attending their annual picnic. We were blessed with good weather - sunshine, low humidity and comfortable temperatures.

We enjoyed visiting with the family and friends of our friends, people we have come to know over the past 18 years of attending their picnics.

Next weekend they will be visiting us to celebrate the Fourth of July with baseball, hot dogs and hopefully some fireworks. Oh, and some Guavaberry Coladas, reminiscent of the trip Nurse Nancy and I took to Saint Martin/Sint Maarten!

Friday Funny

My son is king of the grill in our house. Most times he's way more experimental than me. And the results are always good.

Rain, rain go away!

Is anyone else starting to feel this way?

How's your ark coming?

This and That Thursday

Random thoughts going through my mind:

• Real Housewives of NJ - OMG, NJ has a bad enough rep with out this show adding to it
• Rain, rain go away - the mold is killing me! And I'd like to get into the pool too.
• Swimming bunnies - who'd have thought they could swim?
• Tasted the new Frosty from Wendy's, the toffee one. Pretty good!
• Has any one ever gone into the Wal-Marts and bought only what was on their list? Is it even possible? I've never been able to do it.
• Ironing - is it weird that I don't mind this task?
