Ten Things to Smile About July

Where did July go?  It came and went in a flash for me.  And now it's time to start thinking about school starting??  Before I do that though, I am going to link up with my BFF Emmy and name ten things that made me smile this month!





Living in a free country!
Spending a week with my oldest and dearest friend...
Going to the beach
Sure I got totally pummeled by the waves but it was an awesome day
Learning a new trick with Paint shop Pro....being able to turn this picture..
into this....
Knott's Berry Farm

Discovering new places to play and keep cool...
Sharing Knott's, The Beach, and new places with Busi* (Boo-shee) and Grandpa!
Playing games with family and friends

Getting to see Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 2.  HOLY COW!  And I am sad now.  It's all over.  Guess I need to have a marathon.  ;)

And number ten has yet to happen....we are waiting on the arrival of my (grand) nephew.  He is due TODAY!!!  My niece is more than ready to have him.  We are rooting for him and her to make the list for this month!!!!
Yep she is ready--this picture was taken last week.

* Busi is Polish for Grandmother*

It's not too late to link up with Emmy!  The linky will up all week.

You did have a great month. We haven't made it to the beach up this way yet- one of these days we will.
Glad you had fun with all your company and yes- here is wishing that Nicole does not make it to August.
Thanks so much for linking up

That's a cool grandmother name! My niece calls my mom Mimi. I don't know where that came from but my mom likes it better than "grandma"

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
