$0.25 wings, all you can eat shrimp and football

We spent the day working in the yard, well, Chris did most of the yard work, and I started cleaning out the garage. I didn't get finished, but I feel good that I made some progress.

On one of the trips to the dump we saw a sign for $0.25 wings and all you can eat shrimp, with the ballgame on at 8. So... we decided to go. We got 8 wings for an appetizer, and then got the shrimp. We shared the two re-orders while we watched the game. Food was great!

The dangerous thing about this, is that it is only 3 or 4 minutes from the house! We could make a habit of this! I ate more shrimp than I should have, but it was sooo good. Shrimp has to be one of my all time favorite foods.

Mushrooms

Some mushrooms sprouted up in the yard, so Chris and I went out to take some photos, I took the top one, and Chris took the bottom one. After I took my photo and handed the camera over to Chris, I went and put my McCain sign in the yard. As I was walking back, I looked up and Chris was taking my picture.

Machines

Okay, so we all know machines are going to malfunction at some point. My question is WHY do they always have to tear up at the same time?!?!?! My car air conditioning went out, got it repaired, and did the brakes while we were at it, then uh oh -- a few days later, we had to put a new set of tires on it. The air conditioning at the house went out, they are still working on it. Yesterday, the lawn mower acted up, and so did the leaf blower.

Thank goodness the TV, computers and Internet are still working!

party, it was a party fit for a princess.

Eron

My long time friend Eron moved out of the country a few months ago and doesn't have Internet where she went. Also, I didn't have an address for her, so after almost 30 years of friendship, I was sad to think we might have lost touch forever. She left to get married, so I don't think she's coming back to the USA.

She is home to take care of some business, so she sent me a short message, and we got to chat for a few minutes. So glad to hear from you. Take care of yourself! We'll talk again before you leave again.

Lynn

Lynn, my online friend from Down Under - it was great to see your post on your blog and to have a comment on mine from you. Glad to hear from you. Take care of yourself!

A day in the country

Ants! Ants!

KB, AG and Ty

We went over to my parents house for supper yesterday. We all walked out to the pasture for some target practice. The only shooting I did was from behind a camera. Ty practiced some paintball.

Mama cooked a great meal. Chris got some veggies! I'm not a vegetable eater - meat and potatoes for me. I keep telling him he can cook veggies for himself - but he doesn't (well, sometimes he does - but not usually). Mama sent him home with some greenbeans she picked out of her garden.

We had a great time.
