Missing Designstar!

Cable has been out since 6:00 PM and we are getting buckets of rain. All of my landscaping work will be washed away, it is down pouring....2 inches per hour. The rain isn't going to stop for awhile but at least now it is a gentle rain. Of course the garage is flooded again with rain water, I am going to give up and just use it as a garage for the car and no storage! So now I am busy doing laundry until the power goes out next and then just may go to bed!

Today was the day!

I had to give in and turn on the A/C this afternoon; the humidity was just too high! Not bad to wait until after the 4th of July for expensive utility bills! Max is very appreciative....he lays by the vent ....to nap! and only goes out unless he really needs too! We really do need some rain; it is in the forecast just hope it comes. I did go to the garden show this afternoon...some people have so much talent! They were just beautiful!

Max checking things out!

As you can see; I have to keep him on his leash because he has a bad habit of running through the neighborhood....so much for puppy school! But I guess that was 4 years ago and I didn't follow thru like I should have; and he is a little bit spoiled :)

Moved the Perennials!

I told you I would post pictures of my hard work the last few days! I am not completely done yet! But I will post these again when the flowers bloom. Do you love my little cat? I wished I would have volunteered to paint the neighbors garage....still may - but needed to have the plants moved so they could get a start on growing before fall....yes fall; will be here before you know it! Duane and Joann stopped over in their new "Corvette" it is pretty sharp! Joann was excited she got to drive it to my house....Duane was holding his breath the whole time! They told me that I shouldn't of worked the whole holiday....but I do think it was worth it! And it will look better when they start blooming...time will tell. Today I need to find a garden flag that is colorful....that will brighten it up a bit. Will post again at the end of summer and this should look awesome!

New information released to the Globe Gazzette

I am adding an updated report from the Globe Gazette. This is more detailed, they still aren't released names. The TV crews and the investigators have left for the day...I may have to try to watch the 10:00 news. It still gives me goose bumps to talk about it.

This is the link to the Globe Gazette........

Only 12 people injured but I do think that several were minor injuries and didn't go to the hospital. Otherwise my day will be power washing the deck and transplanting plants.....wished you guys were here to help!

Fireworks accident!

I just got a call from a friend that is downtown and she was down where the accident happened. One of the finale tipped over and was shot sideways. The have had 8 ambulances and one helicopter taking people away. The area was the parking lot by the court house (also where the concrete had given way from the flood! She was on the bridge when she saw it coming her way).....she said everyone was screaming and running to get away. You know she invited me to go with her; and thank you Alyssa for talking to me instead of me going to meet her. Yes I do believe in Guardian Angels and mine tonight told me to stay home; I would of been on the bridge! The radio was having people call in to give their account of what happened....telling that fire was shooting right by them and just missed their head....to telling of helping people that were hit in the chest, foot and head! People were knocked out of the lawn chair they were sitting in. Everyone at this time have been taken away to the hospital that needed attention....won't find anything out until probably Monday now.

The 4th of July

I would love to be in "New York City" for the 4th of July some year. This year our fireworks was nice, but they had the finale didn't go off like it was supposed to and shot into a crowd of bystanders and everyone was diving for cover. They are clearing the main street bridge for emergency vehicles. The radio station is giving updates. Very sad....have no idea how many people were hurt. Will keep you updated!

Poor Max...

Someone in the neighborhood is shooting off bottle-rockets and some kind of fireworks! Max is scared...he is shaking and hiding under my new table in the TV room. This has never bothered him before....he looks so sad! I need to pick up the house of Max's toys and shoes; because Dick is coming tomorrow night. The sad thing is all of the 4th of July stuff doesn't start until the 3rd.....but his plans are to be with his buddies. Thank goodness the beer tent doesn't open until 3:00 PM on Thursday. I did think of Joe; he would love the beer tent. You may have to come over the 4th just one year!

I am invited over to Terry & Holly's; Tom and Kim are here from San Francisco....we always have interesting conversations.
