Great Holiday weekend at my in-laws. Rod's Dad is recovering nicely from his hip surgery--they have moved back upstairs into their lair. He says he still has pain, but, my sources have found him working out under a car, crawling around the garage and getting ready to re-caulk the house windows once again. Cody is going crazy with him asking her to repeat things. Maybe, just maybe he will get that hearing aid one day before she is driven completely around the bend. Rod Sr. says he will be getting the cataract surgery too! That's a big surprise, but I am sure he will love it once he's done.
Thursday evening we were at Deb's house. We munched on ham and then took a great walk around the development after dark. They are in the process of painting their house--a cute beach blue with cream trim. That project is on going, but, the painters are doing good work!
Friday morning I worked on the computer while Rod helped trim some plants. Then Jan dropped off a new grill that we were in charge of putting together. Deb ran to pick up some last minute things, while I finished up...and then we made a liquor run and picked up a couple more things at the grocery store. It was busy in the Publix...almost every register has a cashier!
We ate early as Jan had to work, but, the grilled burgers, brats and dogs were delicious. I started getting a headache about this time...which kinda nagged me the rest of the day and into the next day. But that didn't stop us from going out when it got dark and enjoying the fireworks!
We didn't get any pictures--you all know how those fireworks pictures turn out! Fireworks at the beach are awesome. You could see all kinds of public and private displays running up and down the coast. Any direction you looked--more fireworks. Rod and I marveled how far home fireworks have come--from our days of smoke snakes and sparklers--the people around Rod and Cody's house (the in-laws) had fantastic displays. They were being shot off until almost midnight.
Had two great walks with Bonnie...the first day would have been a great day for pics, but, the camera battery was dead again. I saw a striking cardinal, sitting up above us on the power line. We crossed the big grassy area at the main beach and walked on the boardwalk. Not too many people out. The second part of the walk is nice and shady. We have gotten to meet some of the dogs in the subdivision back here. Joey a little terrier mix and Marlin a big pointer. Joey's Mom said he was part Jack Russell, like Bonnie, but I sure couldn't see it in him. He was cute and CALM....so, nah, I don't think there's any Jack Russell is in there.
Hope you all had a great Fourth of July, too!
