What a great weekend we had. Spent all day Saturday fishing. At sunset, the tide was on it's way out and a school of dolphin came within about 10 feet of us. (We were wading at the time)We caught enough trout for few meals and we caught a few snook which we sadly released as they are out of season right now. We would have stayed later but they were closing the bridge for the Midnight Run and we didn't want to get stuck out there. Watched the fire works from our front yard last night and watched movies all day today.

I don't wanna work tomorrow. :-(

We had a great time last night. We lit a fire in our little covered firepit, and shot off a bunch of fireworks. (uh, most of them were legal!)

A bunch of neighbors came by, and the kids had a great time. It was just a very nice, relaxing evening. Perfect weather, and we were creating enough smoke to keep the mosquitoes at bay!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!

(I too, am wondering if Sanfran has still got all his fingers!)

Lost, sounds like a heavenly day and a wonderful place to live. If I let my son see this, he would be packing his bags to move in with you!!

Ok, I am renaming our family 4th of July party to the Shit happens party. There is an annual party here by that name and I am stealing it!

For years it has been a joke with everyone in the family and everyone that knows us that something is going to screw up.

I am a stickler for detail and I call everyone several times before hand to discuss what we all need to bring. No one in my family cooks but me so I am always elected to do most of it and they go to the store and buy the rest.

Last party my sister forgot the buns so this year everyone brought buns! We had 25 packs! Ok then huge storm comes up, rains like a son of a gun. BIL goes to light the grill, no gas. Goes to fourtyleven stores nobody has gas. My niece's husband goes to his house and gets his tank, grill still won't start! Grill dead. We go to the neighbors and cook on theirs. BIL comes back with burgers, raw, have to nuke em. Ice cream time, my sister brings out her machine, her hubby proceeds to start it (electric). My hubby and I run over a couple of streets over to visit another party we were invited to. Got back and BIL still working on ice cream, my hubby takes over. For four hours those big dummies work on that ice cream while I am telling them to take the top off and check to see if it is freezing, they don't listen. Finally my hubby determines that the reason it is not freezing is the water keeps pouring out the cracks in the wood, wood sides do not seal. You can't make ice cream if the melting ice water does not drain SLOWLY from the machine. NO ICE CREAM!!! Kids screaming and pregnant niece whinning cause no ice cream!!! My sister and her husband say "well we have had that machine for three years, paid $40 for it and it has NEVER made ice cream". Speaking of shock and awe! My first impulse was to smack the snot outta both of the dingle berries!LOL I swear my family should have our own reality show, Ozzie's don't have a damn thing on us.

We must be Lost, that is toooo funny!

Oh, oh oh, I almost forgot the funniest of all. Sister that hosted the party just put in an above ground huge pool. She and her hubby finished it on Friday the 2nd,(they did it themselves LOL!!!! Well the big dummies decided they didn't have to bolt the last support pole at the bottom because all the others were secure. PS they jump into the pool, side caves in, floods the yard and all the surrounding neighbors yard, hence party in a rice paddy. Sat the 3rd they fix the support and start filling it up again with water hose, hence a foot and a half water in pool for pool party LOL!!!!

PLUS sister that forgot buns at last party stands at front door threatening anyone entering that if they have any buns she is going to slap the shit shit out of them. All of this you guys and everyone of my sisters had wine in paper cups so their husbands wouldn't know they were boozin. Their hubbys won't let them drink cause they screw shit up if they do, well my god can it get any worse.

Me I just drank my whole damn bottle of Asti and forgottaboutit! I have never laughed so hard in my whole life.

Sounds like you had a great time Kristy.

I went over to one of my neighbors, they are really into the fireworks. I ate like a pig, drank a few beers and watched them blow off all kinds of fireworks, making sure I had an easy get away for when the cops showed up.

Heck no Cassie, we ate the raw, soaked in rain, bloody things!! Hell one of them fell down the steps of the neighbors deck. The good Lord only knows who got that one. I just took them to the sink washed off a little, dryed them, put them in the microwave and served them right up. If we refused to eat stuff like that we would all go hungry at every family dinner we have! Believe me that aint nothin. It will get worse I promise I know them. Hell I'm still fummin about the silver dollar biscuit my sister bought for the Christmas dinner for the slabs of ham I sliced and cooked to go in them (family tradition at that). Thing was she saw how large the slices were and still went to biscuitville and bought silver dollars!LOL
