Just a little Monday post

Greetings dear friends and blogging buddies!~ I hope you are all having a wonderful Monday! I also hope those that celebrate, had a terrific 4th of July! We went and bought a few fireworks and combined them with some we had leftover from last year. My husband works with a guy who owns a fireworks stand and he gave a big ole fat discount which made the fun spread further. We took a friend along and he had brought fireworks as well. He brought some cherry tomatoes and strawberries and put firecrackers in them and blew them all to pieces. Does that sound all male or what? LOL!

Here is a picture of our son. I can't for the life of me remember what in the world he was doing when I took this picture ,but I remember we all busted up laughing. Ever have those moments when you just knew without a doubt you'd remember something and then forgot?

I didn't get a whole lot of pictures when the fireworks were actually going off. I am not good with timing that sort of thing . Besides , they go kablooie so fast!



We had several of these ground type things and I was actually able to get a picture of one.

There were also all sorts of the balloon things with lit fireworks attatched to them that were floating across the sky from somewhere. It looked like we were being invaded from Mars! My husband is going to ask the co-worker that has the stand what they are so we can get some for next year. They were really cool.

Ok, ya'll know that I have spoken many times about not being able to grow anything. Well I thought I would go ahead and try to grow some Cosmos this year and low and behold one of them actually came up! Not only that , but it had several blossoms on it! I was excited so naturally I had to take a snap of it.

I have a little more progress of HoHRH to show. I haven't gotten much more done as I have been devoting my time to other things besides stitching.

Ocassionally some of the other homeschool parents are in need of services for their children that they themselves can't provide. One of the dad's had that very situation this past week and was looking for someone to teach needle arts to his daughter and that led him to me. That same day I had a mom who doesn't do that sort of thing, contact me about teaching her daughter as well. I am so excited, I will soon have two students to pass on needlework skills to!! I think that is going to be lots of fun!

Well I am off to gt myself another cup of coffee before I start buzzin' around here for the day. Hope you all have a great day! Thank you so much for the comments and continued friendships. It meas a lot!!

'til next time,

don't be a stranger,
