4th of July...
is my new best friend!
It's not even officially here yet, but I already love this holiday this year. Our center is closed on Tuesday, but I went on and took Monday off for good measure. (It's always a good idea to plan ahead!)
Friday night, Clay took me to dinner at the Come Back Inn across the river. I hadn't been to that location, and we really enjoyed it! It's really funny to go through downtown Louisville and cross right over a short bridge into a town much like Mayfield. After dinner, we strolled through the antique-like streets of Jeffersonville, and had a really nice time.
Saturday, we decided to be beach bums and spent part of the day at the pool. We were only hour or so, but I still managed to turn a nice shade of pink. After pooling around, Clay and I headed to a birthday gathering for a friend, and then to see the new Superman movie. As most of you can probably imagine, Superman was not my first choice, but I got over that for Clay's sake. In my opinion, though, the movie was crap. Oh well. I made him pay, so no loss there.
Sunday came, and we decided it was another splendid pool day. We planned on staying about and hour or so again, but plans changed. Some of Clay's friends showed up, so we hung out a bit longer. Then more friends showed up, then more... After about 3.5 hours at the pool in the blazing sun, I finally begged off. I already knew I was fried. Sure enough, by the time I got home and took a cold shower, I was beet red. Oh well. It's the price we pay for fun in the sun. After a long nap, I made Doug and Clay take me to dinner. Perfect day!
It's now Monday, and I'm being really lazy! Clay is at work for the morning, and I just polished off a nice bowl of watermelon while watching a movie. Life is good. I'm heading off now to toss in a load of laundry and start some lunch for when Clay gets off work. We have a picnic planned at a friend's house tonight, and if lucky, another planned for tomorrow...with Cooper!
I simply adore the 4th of July!!!

Hi! Lori, Sorry I have been so long in commenting. There was a mix up. I thought I was the first one to comment on the 4th of July, but in talking to Mom and wondering why she had not responded, she said she had. I couldn’t believe it until I went back and looked. So the jest of the story, there is another message in cyber space somewhere. Any way I was so glad to see another posting so soon, and glad you had such a nice 4th. I like it too. I love the fireworks and get-to-gathers and what the day stands for most of all. I think clay is spoiling you and that you deserve it. “Thank you Clay.” When are we going to see you again? Remember “not so long between visits” ok? Love & Hugs
Whew...I was starting to worry about you Granny! Glad to know you were slacking, but just got lost in Cyberspace.

Lori I didn't mean for you to think you didn't have to post again just because I was lost in space. You know me well enough to realize that's where I stay most of the time. If not lost in space then at the mall, in the yard, in the house where ever I think I can get away Ha. Did you know this is no longer July, and August will soon be half over? Time to blog again don't you think? I LOVE regardless of whether you blog or not but sure love to hear from you.
