Did You Dress Up?

So many adults are claiming Halloween as their right to party, that I wonder if this is about the kids anymore? I mean, so many people are going out to parties tonight – will there be anyone home to hand out candy to the trick or treaters?

I am dressing up and going out – but I am staying home to hand out candy until after 9:00. I think there will be at least 40 or 50 kids coming to my house this year. But 9:00 is late for little kids, so that’s when I’m cutting out the porch light and stopping the giveaways. Then I will head downtown and find some of my friends at a club and have some adult fun, too.

Happy Fourth of July

I want to wish everyone a Happy fourth of July. I hope everyone has a good time and stays safe. Remember not to drink and drive. Be careful with the fireworks as well. We don’t want anyone losing body pieces and such. I am off to have a lil fun myself and no I am not driving as I intend to get a lil crunk.

Summer fun

This weekend is going to be a blast. There is the county fair as well as the CMA Fest in Nashville. We are going to try to go to both. Friday night we will go to the fair as it closes at around ten o’clock. We can get there around six and spend plenty of time riding the rides and such. We may go back on Sunday to see the animal shows, but I doubt it.

Saturday one of our favorite singers is playing on the Riverfront stage. The concert is free and won’t cost us really anything. We can take sandwiches and drinks, so long as the bag is small. So we will take several small bags, one per person. Each will have what we need for ourselves, instead of one big one like we normally do. The prices for the vendors are way to expensive for us to eat and drink there. This way we can buy a few souvenirs to bring home. I know that the kids will want something, so I am planning accordingly.

By the time we are done with all of that, I am going to assume we will be sunburned and ready to rest on Sunday. I know that I will be. It is going to be so much fun. Hope to see you there !

Camping fun!

As I’m am still up at the lake cabin, I have been thinking a great deal of having my nephews come stay with me here for a few days or even a week.  “My boys” are ages 8, 10 and 11. I know they share my love of fishing, hiking and nature. They, unlike me also love to rough it outside. Of course, when ever we have “camped” they have done the camping and I have provided the “must haves” (that they no doubt could do without, but groove with since they are goodies and really cool items that I know they love). This place has two bedrooms, kitchenette and living room with a large fireplace, and yes of course indoor plumbing, but boys are boys and I know they would want to stay in a tent in the yard.

I called my sisters to find out what the boys may like or need for this adventure, and the hands down, the answer was Sleeping Bags!!  Apparently young boys go through sleeping bags quickly. At least my rough tough ones do, so their moms say. I personally love buying the boys things that they want and need, and also spending the money on items that are well worth the price when it comes to durability.

I’m really looking forward to having the boys with me up here at the lake. It will be a riot and I’ll even have some fishing companions! I’m starting a list tonight on the “goodies” I’m going to shop for and have to go through the shed to see what kind of shape the life jackets and such are in. It’s been a while since the kids have been up here, and I know I’m going to have some restocking to do.
