Middle

The middle of the week that is.
And it's not 11pm. Nope. Tis a Wednesday Eve-
With the sun still shines.
Cats perched in open windows.

Breeze. Nice.
This is when I love Texas.
Not to hot.
Not to cool.
Just in the middle.

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.

Thoughts...

Did errands tonight. When did I fall in love with thrift stores? Not that long ago I called em 'junk stores.' For some they may be, yet I love the treasure search. Or maybe I know I need them more and more after the $45 filled my gas tank.

Croutons. The best...and I mean the BEST yum-yum croutons are New York Original Texas Toast Cheese and Garlic Croutons. Big (just like the state of Texas!) Crunchy and all around dee-lish-shus! For the calorie conscious two tablespoons will weigh you in with about 35 calories. These babies enhance any salad! Croutons....when did I get to the point in my life where I'd WANT to talk anything that went in or on a salad?

Thunder. Lightening too. Don't think the Dallas weather people predicted this! Hmm. One summer evening, while I was grade school age, I watched a softball game with my parents. We were at our town's park, along with half the town. Thunder started to roar. Lightening graced the sky. I announced to my parents that thunder was Heaven's door opening for the people. Lightening was to show them the way.

When did I ever stop believing that?
