Ok, now that I'm on a "real" computer I'll expand on the contents of my plate.

(I find it very difficult to type on my tablet!)
Our daughters seldom get to come home at the same time as one of them lives in Louisiana. She picked our Sat activities (St.Jo Michigan..walking on the pier...a beautiful day at Lake Michigan and then lunch at Redamaks in New Buffalo) all great choices. I picked getting into the hot tub that night and it poured rain on us!! But we were already wet and ended up laughing so hard that our neighbors must have wondered what on earth was going on.
The bushes.....multi flora on one side (stickers!!!) and honeysuckles on two sides (8 ft tall at least) and the back row is a little bit of everything. We have disappeared in here and I'm trying to cut everything back....they
love to be cut and grow twice as fast coming back.
So thankful that our dog isn't afraid of fireworks!! Looking forward to an old friend coming Sat. for a trip down memory lane.
Have a safe and fun 4th of July!
