I love the Fourth of July. We always get to gather around family and friends, eat good food and celebrate the night with fireworks. I only remember one Fourth of July that is rained. I believe they just shot off all the fireworks the next night. So we got an extra day to celebrate our country’s birthday!
Too Hot
The weather forecast for this entire weekend is Hot Hot Hot. The temperature will be at least 100 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. Then when you add humidity to the air, the temperature will feel more like 106 – 110 degrees.
This is too hot for me to do anything outdoors unless I really have to. The yard needs mowing and weed whacking, but I’ll have to do that very early in the morning or wait another day or two. The problem with cutting grass early is that it not only disturbs the neighbors but the dew on the grass makes the cut uneven and clogs the mower.

Craving a Hot Dog
Most of the time I only want a hot dog when I’m at a ball game. but for some reason I have been craving a hot dog today. I want a big one, like the Oscar Mayer bun length all beef franks. I want the bun to be fresh and soft and steamed with the dog in it. Then I’ll put a stripe of ketchup and a few dabs of yellow mustard on top, and enjoy a serving of pork and beans on the side. Now, that’s a great lunch for a summer weekend!
Happy Memorial Day
Today we thank our soldiers for serving their country. It is a somber holiday for people who have lost a loved one to war or accidental death while in the service. We lost our father many years ago to Cancer, but he served our country in the war and I think of him fondly on every Memorial Day.
Good Morning
Hot coffee is the best way to start a morning. Humans do well with a set morning routine. Mine includes making a small pot of coffee with my fresh ground, custom blend of coffee beans. I sip on it while reading my email, Facebook and newspaper links. Then, as I’m waking up, I can deal with putting on makeup, choosing the day’s clothes, and fixing my hair. An hour later, I’m ready to tackle the world!

Something different about a regular guest
There is this one couple that has been coming here for the past 4 years. I see them several times a year in fact but there was something a bit different about the lady this time. Come to find out, she had plastic surgery done. It was absolutely amazing how much younger she looked.
Now I’m not as old as she is but it sure started me thinking just a bit. If you are going to have something like this done, please make sure you find a reputable plastic surgeon. We have all seen and heard about the nightmares of a bad plastic surgeon so what ever you do, make sure you find a good one and not some fly by night doctor. I sure will if and when I have something like that done. In fact, I’ll ask Mrs. Thompson who did hers since she looks so good.
Happy Labor Day weekend
Well it looks like it’s going to be a great Labor Day weekend for us. Every room is booked and in fact, I had more calls for reservations than I had rooms. Luckily some of them took dates for next weekend and some went ahead and booked for Halloween weekend and even Thanksgiving.
I hope that each and every one of you has a safe and happy Labor Day. Unfortunately it’s also the sign of Autumn beginning but that’s okay. All things must change!!
