My Saturday


We went to Town yesterday. We brought the puppies for their 3rd vaccination. They are now fully vaccinated until next summer.

It was a gorgeous, warm, summer day. We did a little shopping and drove all over the island just enjoying the day and each other. It was so nice to have a change of scenery for a few hours. hehe

I don't know how many of you remember the posts I wrote about being a foster mother. I had my cousins kids for 5 months when they were 1 yr. old and 5 wks. old.

They live in Town now, and I hadn't seen them since December. Yesterday while shopping for groceries, I ran into my cousin and she had her kids with her. Lexi, the older of the two, crawled out of the cart and came to give me a big hug. When we left, she yelled "See you! Love you!" as we were crossing the parking lot. It was SO good to see them. Brady wouldn't stop smiling, but didn't say a whole lot. That's fine, though. I'm just glad to see that they looked happy and well. I wanted to take them home for the 4th of July but Carmen wasn't up to a visit and wouldn't let the kids come alone. :o(

That was my excitement for the day. Other than practicing my text message skills on my cell phone. hehe That was a lot of fun.

Today I think we're going to cut some firewood for the smoke house. Tomorrow is Michael's birthday. He's requested spaghetti and chocolate cake. Every year he tells me he doesn't want a party and every year I get pressured into having one. Nobody's said anything yet so hopefully, he'll have a quiet, peaceful birthday for a change.

That's it for now. You all take care and if I don't post again before then, have a happy and safe 4th of July!

Happy 4th!!!!

I pray that M's birthday goes off quietly for you two. Sooooo glad you were able to see "your babies"... isn't it amazing sometimes how, not being a parent, these kids seem like little parts of your heart walking and laughing and playing?

That's how I feel sometimes.

**hugs**

I remember the post about you fostering the kids. I know it's totally none of my business, but it seems so disingenuous that Carmen won't let them come to your house without her there. It kind of pisses me off.

But I'm so glad you got to see them, and I hope M's b-day was wonderful and quiet. :)

Big hugs,

Here I have been... gone for a while and I get to a photo of two lovely children, with these words printed below, "We went to Town yesterday. We brought the puppies for their 3rd vaccination. They are now fully vaccinated until next summer."
You can imagine my confusion. ;)
I'm glad you and your family are having a great summer!
