LAST WEEK RECAPPED
Good morning dear friends. Last week is a complete blur for me. YAY the cribbage tournament is FINALLY over. Before and during the tournament where I had to get up at 5 AM every day and work 10-12 hours straight. That’s in addition to everything else that’s going on around here. My girlfriend and I had just agreed this was probably going to be the last time we did it. We absolutely LOVE the players and really enjoyed the work, but it’s a TON of time and work that we do as volunteers!
We did decide that if we did it again we’d do it as our own catering company so we could make the money to make it worth our while. But, to our surprise, the guy that runs the tournament announced that he was moving next week and handing the torch to a younger guy who lives quite a ways away. So, it looks like this was our last job anyway.
That said, I will finally have the time to get caught up around the house as well as with blogging visits to all of you!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
We’ve been quite cool of an evening for this time of year. I even wore a heavy sweatshirt during the fireworks on the 4th, but that all supposed to change this week with highs in the mid 90’s! At least the night time lows will still be going down into the 50’s to give us nice mornings and evenings.
ON MY MIND
I’m praying for all those people and families devastated by the flash flooding that occurred when the two tropical storms merged and stalled over central Texas. It sure seems like the weather is changing all over the country and for the worse in so many of those places!

FAVORITE PHOTOS FROM THE CAMERA
I didn’t get much time off for the 4th of July, but I did get home in time for my neighbor’s fireworks display with all the grand kids. You can tell from the picture why she’s their favorite 🙂 These were my 3 favorites, the HOT Burger, the ALIEN and the SHOW OFF that we saved for the grand finale.
