July 4th 2009


Well as you can see I am not one that keeps up with blogging. I forget about it but I keep up with my daughter's blog usually every other day. I don't know how she has the time to blog and take care of 3 children. I just got back after a week of visiting with her and my two wonderful granddaughters and my new grandson. I had a grand time seeing the girls and got to attend Annie's 6th birthday party. It was so interesting watch her interact with her friends and I loved watching Ella as she played at the park. So independent at age 3 1/2 years old. Annie acts so grown up and Baby Jack is a beautiful baby boy. He is a sweetheart and is such a good baby. I still don't know how my daughter manages so well. I admire the mother she is and how well she manages each day's surprises and everyday things.

I came home on 4th of July and it was an uneventful trip home unlike my trip to Atlanta. After I got home and it finally got dark outside Jamie and I sat outside and watched the neighborhood as many families set off fireworks. It was pretty to see but very noisy. Our dogs didn't like the noise very much. But it was all over by 11:00 pm. It was a good day. I love the 4th of July and what it represents. How fortunate we are to live in a free country to speak freely and worship freely. God Bless America!!!

I tried to take some pictures of the fireworks but my battery was dead in my SLR digital camera so I tried it with my new pocket digital. I didn't have a lot of success with the new camera. I am still learning how to use all the bells and whistles. I took this little camera with me when I went to see my new grandson but I wish I had taken my better camera but I didn't want to lug around a backpack on my trip. But I learned my lesson. Next time I will take it and just deal with the inconvenience of it. I also learned to pack me an extra set of clothes when I travel if I check my suitcase. I did without my suitcase for 3 days after landing in Atlanta. What a nighmare but they did finally get it to me. Thank goodness for Walmart's.

So it is back to work this week after a week off. What a long week it has been but tomorrow is Friday! I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th. Mine was great and made ever better because I got to spend time with my daughter and granddaugthers, grandson, son-in-law and my mom all last week.
