A Salute to the Olympics

I'm so P.O.'d

I got a letter in the mail with a check for my trip. I had just called them a week ago and they told me my papers would be coming. She had my money for 5 months, there was no credit or phone call, poor customer service. I will cross them off my list. We now are free for the month. I just think of all the things I bought to go on the trip. I personally think with the gas prices and the exchange rate, they weren't making any money. When I signed up I asked her if this trip will go and she said, yes, it was going.
We're anxious to see how Big Bubba does tonight. I thought Hillary was o.k., she didn't really fire anyone up.
The Big H handled my depression by taking me to Hayward to look for a truck topper, but I did lunch and a few geocaching.

Convention Junkie

I also watched the convention last night, much to my surprise. I'm hoping for more entertainment tonight. Hillary better not screw it up, tomorrow night with Bill should be interesting. They seem to hold grudges. You lost, move on. I thought Michelle was inpressive.

St Peter's 100th Anniversary

Mass and picnic in the park.

Goodbye Big Red

The Big H sold his truck tonight, so now he will be staying home. It means hours & hours in car dealers. Anyone know of a deal with good gas mileage.

Silver Medal

In honor of the silver medal for the women's gymnastic team, I'm posting this picture of Jen at age 6 and Bela Karoli. I love listening to Bela commenting, he gets so involved and excited. Those Chinese girls sure don't look 16.

Blueberry Pie

It looks like we got enough for a pie. It was slow picking, only a few berries. I wanted to get enough to make a pie for the big "H's" birthday on Wednesday. There was a big, fresh bear dump where we were picking, but we didn't see him.

Another One Bites The Dust

What is it with these politicians, don't they ever think they will get caught. It's always more fun when the other side gets caught, but at least our side gets caught with women.
Just finished watching Anne of Green Gables. I will now be prepared to visit the museum on Prince Edwards Island. I figured the movie would be easier than reading the book.
Opening night of the Olympics, it should be spetacular.

It Must Be August

I Want to Be a Dancing Girl

Also a Super Trooper. I loved " Momma Mia". Eight of us went to Hayward on Tuesday, and saw the movie, we all gave it two thumbs up. I bought the ABBA CD today and listened to it all the way home from Wausau. I met #1 & #2 daughters in Wausau to do some shopping. I got some good bargains. Beth needs a First Communion dress for spring and I am going to make it. We got the material, so now I have a project.
Tomorrow I'm going to work for a funeral, which will be a big one. I need to make two salads tonight.

The Older Generation

We had a good time on Sunday at the park. There was a good group there and lots of good food, of course lots of good desserts.

My project is to make a family cookbook for next year, so I'm going to need the donation of alot of terrific recipes.

Happy Birthday Beth

Happy 7th Birthday to Elizabeth Theresa, Roses from Grandpa Howard
