Happy 4th of July

Independence Day (free clip art)
There is a local semi-pro baseball team that has the best fireworks every year. It doesn’t cost much to go watch the game either. I love taking the kids every year to see the ball game and the fireworks. It’s almost become a tradition with us. Before the game, we go to the park for a cook out with my family. We have hamburgers and hot dogs, potato salad and make home-made ice cream too.  By the time it’s time to go to the ball game, we’re all stuffed and so that helps save money at the game. Hot dogs are EXPENSIVE at ball games.

Crowded with Easter Shoppers

I have a bad feeling that when I get to the grocery store this afternoon it will be extra crowded because of Easter. I know that a lot of people like to have a big dinner on Easter Sunday, and so do I.

Most of the time I do the cooking and go all out with the big meal. We get a half ham – I make sure to get the butt end and not the shank – and then we have all kinds of side dishes and desserts. But this year my sister in law says that she wants to cook and the deal is that if I go do the shopping, that she will do the cooking.

That sounds great to me1 I’d love to have a day off from cooking and cleaning and just enjoy myself for a change. I’m really looking forward to Easter – now I just have to deal with the crowds at the grocery store and buy all the food for tomorrow’s dinner.
