A Fun Day

Fun In The Hot Hot Sun

My little diver...Colby
I have to share the story behind these photos...The 4th of July pool party was all planned by my sister and her husband. "Bring a side dish and we have the pool and everything else" Pool? What pool? To our knowledge they didn't have a pool, my bil Steve had purchased a 4 ft above ground pool for this party, try as he might he could not get it to stay up and full! LMBO
It kept collapsing on him! When we all get there it about wading pool height, THAT DIDN'T STOP OUR FAMILY! HA we got wet anyway! Take That Mr.Pool! The pool was being filled with icy cold well water and it felt so good, it was enough to dunk our heads under and swim around a bit, Colby was cracking me up with his snorkel in about 1 foot of water, but he kept it on the entire time. It may not have been full and it may not have been deep but it was cold and we had fun anyway!

    Ethel,
    Oh my gosh, that is so funny. And I bet you had a great time too!!! Sure sounds like it. See, when life hands you lemons . . . well you know how it goes. I seriously am thinking I should go get a little round wading pool. It would be so nice to sit out in when it is like today, 90s and humid. I don't have a bathing suit anymore, but I could go out in shorts and a tank top and just sit in it. Hey, I could bring my knitting. Well there's a picture, me fully dressed knitting in a wading pool. :)
    Great story and pics, thanks for sharing. Take care and hang in there. Still praying for you.

I miss my Blogging Girlfriends

 Life got busy. Even during all the mess of 2020. I miss blogging, crafting and all the friends I made doing SWAPS, Pink Saturday, Commenting on others posts. It's been too long. My guy keeps telling me I need to do what I love, and what I enjoy. He is right. That's exactly what I need. So I am gonna visit the still active blogs of all the lovely ladies I have missed and hopefully we will reconnect. I hope to talk to you soon! Jenny

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make
