WHERE HAVE I BEEN ~ ~ ~

I wish I knew the answer!!  I decided to post tonite sans pictures ~ just so you'd know I was still kicking!  Last week was a quiet one for me ~ I was home most everyday ~ working in the office ~ doing laundry ~ going to the kids games.  It was a great week for me ~ no pressure  ~ no deadlines.  It's probably how many people live their lives.  It felt good!! 

Saturday, we went to the Cleveland area to a baby shower for my friend's daughter ~ that was fun ~ saw their new grandson who was born a week or so ago ~ saw our lake friends ~ it was nice.  Then came home to go to a gathering of Sonny's classmates last evening.  They get together once a year for dinner and chatter and next year will be his 50th reunion!!  Woo hoo!!!  We're getting up there!!!

Today, was a gardening day ~ when I finally got out there.  We did have a fun Memorial Day weekend ~ I kind of forgot about that!  We had a surprise cocktail party for one of our friend's from here at home and then all went out to dinner on Friday night.  On Saturday, we went to Put-in-Bay ~ it was kind of uneventful ~ good grief, I hope we're not losing our touch!  Sunday we had an impromptu feast of shrimp, left from our Friday night soiree and artichoke dip that Karen brought and margaritas   ~ you know the kind you buy in a bucket and add tequila and freeze?  Not too bad ~ it rained on our party, so we moved it onto the patio under the deck and it was fun!  All of our neighbors squeezed into a small area with our lawn chairs and buckets of juice!!!

I hope everyone is doing well ~ enjoying their summer ~ and I'll try to post more often!  I still have not hooked a loop on my Rooster Pair ~ I'm kind of coasting right now.  Talk to you soon ~

Glad you're still alive and kicking, even if your not hooking. I was talking about your rooster rug to my mom earlier today, and said, "...my hooker friend Alice..." My mom came back with, "You know a prostitute?!?" So then I had to explain the term hooker to her. It was too funny.

Good to know that your still kickin'! I miss it when you don't blog.
I got a bit of yard work done, too, and I don't have nearly the yard you do. I don't know how you keep up.
Pug hugs :)

LOL!, Alice. Your not very exciting week still sounds pretty hectic to me!

Alice,

With all the crazy weather, you never know when your favorite blogger is absent. Your posts always light up my day and are missed when they are gone.

Glad your quiet week appeared to be pretty filled! It has been so hot and dry here, we almost have to water the plants every day. Lots of green tomatoes but none that have started to turn yet.

Am so looking forward to my first tomato sandwich with my own home-grown tomato!

I agree with others here...your quiet week sounds busy to me! I haven't hooked a loop in a while either. Your get-togethers sounded like fun.
Good to hear from you again!

There is nothing wrong with taking life a little easier now and then. I think that is what I should do to.

It's nice of you to touch base with your Blogger friends so that we know that you are OK. Have a great summer. JB
