Just 'bout over...

Sunday that is. Another hot one here in Dallas. I'm sure it was over 100 degrees F today. Just summer in Texas. You get use to it and drink lots of water. Today was good. The whole weekend has been good.

Tomorrow is Independence Day, here in the United States. I hope I finally have independence on my terra cotta pots. At least more than I have. :) I've chosen the shade of white I will use for the pot's base, while the rims will be colors to accent what is in the photo. I do look forward to doing this. Excited really. My rule is less is more and that makes a statement. I'm glad I do have Monday and Tuesday off. This oughta be good!

In the meantime, as Sunday comes to a close, I am gonna hop in my jammies and watch another episode of "True Blood." I don't have HBO, so not ever seen any of this show. A co-worker loaned me Season 1-3 before the long holiday. I am hooked. Something about a vampire named "Bill" intrigues me.

Stay tuned.

Ponderings on The 4th of July 2008

I remember a rockin’ party in my hometown, on our city park’s tennis court in 1976. Whole town partied. The hometown rock band jammed crazy all night long. No better Bicentennial celebration happened than in a mall town in Central Iowa.

I love James Cagney’s “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” Annual event, just like “The Ten Commandments.”

Will Smith will rule the 4th of July ---again, with “Hancock”. Enjoyed it, even through the holes. Soundtrack was great! Does leave the door open for a sequel. However “Independence Day” reigns supreme. Cue Jeff Goldblum.

Wall-E stole my heart. Tugged it too. Must see Wall-E.

Watermelon, ice cream, bar-b-q ,brewed ice tea and air conditioning…yep, Texas in July

Food. Friends. Good Times. That’s what I had today.

……and NFL Training Camp is just a few weeks away….Brett Favre, we love you however stay retired—your family loves you too.
