Somebody really should have reminded me about that firecracker under the toilet seat trick.
It's a tradition now......

Morning All11 Hope everybody had a great 4th of July. We had a family get together. The fireworks were even better than usual. Lots of excitement when the cousins set the field on fire and husband had to go get the Bobcat to help put it out. The little kids thought that was the best part. Now back to enjoying the rest of the summer until labor day.
Everybody have a good day although it seems like Monday. Will we be happily surprised tomorrow.

Jane, that is a great story and one I'm sure the little ones will never forget. The Fourth of July is always good for family, friends, fun and frolic.

I don't know whether any of you saw or heard the story, so here it is, from this morning's Washington Post:
American Chestnut Sets Record, Crowned Hot Dog Champ
NEW YORK, July 4 -- In a gut-busting showdown that combined drama, daring and indigestion, Joey Chestnut emerged Wednesday as the world's hot-dog-eating champion, knocking off six-time winner Takeru Kobayashi in a record-setting triumph.
Chestnut, the great red-white-and-blue hope in the annual Fourth of July competition, broke his own world record by inhaling 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes -- a staggering one every 10.9 seconds -- before a screaming crowd in Coney Island.
Follow the enclosed weblink for the rest of this story:

Mornin' all!
Yes macca.... I "sat" for the same ol' trick this year! This time it was Wheat Thin who pulled the trick on the unsuspecting parent...... Wish you could have heard the twittering that was going on outside the door!
We had a fireworks show last night too. The kids lasted about 10 minutes before they were off playing "Mother may I". The big kids (the ones who were lighting the fireworks) outlasted all of us!
It feels like Monday to me. Those holidays in the middle of the week mess me up.
Ya'll have a great day!!!

I don't know, Pappy! Last year, when we all thought Crackah might have a body to hide, himmer actually thought it was a hilarious prank that the spoose pulled off!!!! Sounds like Crackah wasn't TOOOOO ticked this time!!! (Although I believe I'd open doors carefully, sit down carefully, and generally TREAD LIGHTLY if I was the spoose!!!)

If I'd a-done that to Mammy, I thnk I'd be treadin' quickly! Hee hee! Me an' Mammy's sense o' humor differs on some subjects. I'm thinkin' toilet seats an' farcrackers would be one o' them subjects.

By the way, I wish I had a Bobcat to play with! Pappy could do some serious weed diggin' with a Bobcat! I could spread mulch, carry sacks o' corn mash down the trail in the bucket, even carry groceries in from the truck after widenin' the back door usin' Bobcat power! I could dig a pool hole an' fill it up with buckets o' water from the crick!!! Now that I think on it, I don't see how anybody can live without a Bobcat! We're just savages playin' with stone tools without a Bobcat.
"It's a Bobcat, Mammy! It follered me home, can I keep it? Pleeeease?"

Morning All!! Pappy you are exactly right about the Bobcat or at least that is what my husband says. He loves his Bobcat. First dump truck he ever bought which was about 15 years ago was a 1952 wooden sided truck. He was so happy. Kept inviting me to ride in it so one day I did. As I went to climb in the truck a mouse ran across my foot inside the cab mind you. I told him I did not knowingly ride in vehichles that mice lived in. I think I only ever rode in it 3 times and that was only because he wouldn't go get the mulch on White Street unless I rode with him. Most disgusting vehicle I ever had the pleasure of knowing. He just loved that dump truck. I figured it must be a man thing. Same thing with the Bobcat. He taught me to drive it and everything. I just don't see the fascination.
Hey y'all it is Friday. Have a great week end.

A man and his dump truck. It's a beautiful thing.
Jane, my first ripe mater looks to be ready today or tomorry. It's been a long struggle between ripe an' wrong, but ripe finally wins.
