Rain on 4th of July?

Good thing we changed our 4th of July BBQ to the 3rd.  We had a freak storm.  So much water came down it flooded the backyard!

Our 3rd of July

Last month our friends invited us for a 4th of July BBQ.  Well they decided to change the day to the 3rd.  Reason being since they like to "celebrate" so if they had it on the 4th, people would be going to work on the 5th with hangovers....LOL  So having it on the 3rd gave people a day to chill out.  We had a blast.  It was hot, the kids had fun in the pool, and we ate great BBQ.  Then at night fall we had our own little fireworks in the street.

I Love Lucy

We have been purging in the garage.  Lots of junk and treasures....LOL  Guess what I found hidden away? 

We moved to this house 10 years ago, and this was still in the box packed with other items.  I still watch "I Love Lucy" shows and I do not get bored watching them over and over again.

Twizzlers!

I entered Twizzlers Landmark Summer giveaway over at Resourceful Mommy.  And I won!  I got this great prize package.  Look at all the goodies!  I really love the tote.  It has an insulated bottom and really is large. Plus the candy is yummy.

My Miche Bag

I entered a contest over at Macaroni Kid Torrance for a Miche Bag.  I have a friend who has one and really thought it was a neat idea.  Low and behold I won!  I was so excited when the package arrived.  Now I am set with my handbag wardrobe.

P.S.  Of course, since they included their current catalog in the box, I want more shells!  LOL

EWF Concert

My friend J invited me to go see our favorite band, Earth, Wind & Fire.  They were playing at the lovely Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.  We were sitting front row, but off to the right side of the stage.  So when the lights grew dim and the music started to play, I put my camera up to take of a picture of the group coming out on stage but ending up with this....

Yes, J's hands! LOL 

It was all good!  We had a good time singing and dancing the whole show.We were so close we could touch their feet!

My momentos for my scrapbook.  I really love the water bottle (which I will not open in order to preserve the label).  Thanks J and N for a wonderful time.

Brother's Birthday Cake

This is my oldest brother's birthday cake.  He just loves the Angel's.
