Life on Thursday

*Took G to school

I quickly call a friend yelling, "Where are the trucks?" Panic was setting in and then the thought "what if they do away with the recycling trucks!" Could I actually go back to throwing away milk jugs and cardboard? I just went into the land of denial.... it just couldn't be! I took my recycling to the friend's house, since the town recycling is going to be picked up tomorrow! She saves me again!

We interupted this life for PAPER!

The past few days I've been dealing with paper, paper and yet more paper.

TAXES
FAFSA
TERRACYCLE
LABELS FOR EDUCATION
BILLS

I can barely move my computer chair due the mounds of paper piled around the computer area!

I've filed my TAXES
almost done with FAFSA
Boxed up TERRACYCLE
counted and packaged up LABELS FOR EDUCATION
written and mailed BILLS

(Hopefully) we now return you to your regular scheduled life

Beautiful grounded day

My school Terra Cycling stuff was getting out of hand and with the weather so cold and rainy (earlier this week) I didn't want be cold in the garage messing with it. Today when my plans got grounded by G's illness and the warm (60's) sunny weather I conquered the recycling. We've already collected about $30 for the school.

Then I headed out to hang up G's beautiful bright red bird house.

Picture to come later.

Hubby found a little tree that looks like a Deer had rubbed on it. If only our dog weren't afraid of the night he could really be more effective!?! When he is out (during the day) he's busy digging for moles in the field. He's driven one into the edge of the yard. I was looking at the 'mounds' in the yard one day when he attempted to start digging for one. I scolded him and he stopped, got that pitiful look on his face and thankgoodness hasn't dug in the yard since. I believe I could become Bill Murray from Caddyshack if this mole gets further into my yard.

I brought up a box of old movies (from W's days) for G to watch. Aladdin is currently playing.

Thursday in Pictures

We (or maybe I should just say I) are really into this recycling. I try to take a load every week or at least every week and a half. Today was the day. Most of this is cardboard and a few plastics. It has really cut down on our trash.
you were going to get a What's for Dinner?" but all I'm going to get is the before picture because as I got ready to put this on the grill the Propane ran out. Oh well, I just rub Olive Oil, garlic powder (or salt) and Parmesan cheese all over the chicken and then grill on the top rack of the grill until done. It has a great taste. FYI ~ the chicken is now being baked in the oven. We'll see how that goes.
Has I was stepping out the door to put the chicken on the grill Skipper took off across the field. He's spotted a lone turkey! The turkey didn't fly but did slip through the fence. I heard the turkey call a few times but Skip (thankfully) came back pretty quickly empty handed.

AFter supper G started our fireworks with some Smoke Bombs and a few bottle rockets! Yes, of course the bottle rockets were shot off with ear plugs! Poor hubby was having to yell the instructions to G! I don't know who or what was louder the fireworks or the instructions!

And poor Skip hiding in the garage scared to death!

Then we headed into town to watch the firework display!

Our little town and it's traditions!

The 3th of July tradition of Fireworks!
