Holidays in June!

What kind of blogger has only one battery for her new camera, and then within the first half hour of her first visit to Ft Sumter in Charleston lets the only battery run out?? Me, what a dummy!! So this blog has no pictures of the many dolphins we saw on the boat trip over to the Fort, the really neat people we met from Cincinnati's Underground Railroad Freedom Museum, nor the actual Fort, which has a really neat Museum, ugh, so mad at myself!!

Suzie's comments regarding my craft room - "this is sinful". Luckily, she tends to be very blunt, so her comments didn't faze my need for any new sewing gadgets or the right shade of fabric!!

Before my camera battery went down I did manage to document are "holiday meals". Suzie and Austin never get to celebrate with us or us with them, so....we did Christmas at Mom's the first night, including decorations, music, finely set table, holiday clothing, and gifts; Thanksgiving at Aunt Julie's with tacos for dinner the next night; turkey was consumed, there were turkey tacos (which helped those of us with the weight problems), lots of her fall decorations, including a small sample of her turkey collection (approx 47 for the June version were displayed) and I did a Birthday party for dessert after the turkey tacos. Half of my table was decorated in appropriate 9 year old boy theme (pirates of the Caribbean) and the other half was appropriate for a 40ish Mother (spring flowers). We had cake, decorations galore and again..... presents! Me being the lazy bum in the family, still had some red around from Valentines day (I have red in my living room people!) so we really have also did that holiday and some large pieces of Easter are sitting in a spare room still waiting for the climb up into the attic, so we paid homage to Easter also!!! All we haven't done is Halloween (I keep telling people I've been wearing a mask, my real face doesn't have this many wrinkles or fat lines in it!) and the men folk don't know it, but today is Father's Day, not next week!! We've had the best time with this, Austin has loved it, mainly for the presents (duh!) and we've all always been dorky for our Holidays!! It is a treat to be such close sisters, I'm glad I have them, and really glad I'm the best of the bunch and don't have some of their weird habits!! Poor Ken thinks we are crazy, but he loves me and goes along with this "dorky" stuff". I keep reminding him I the best one and he keeps telling me, "Yes, dear!" Now, Bogie, he loves all the commotion and the extra people and he does love a good party!!
footnote, yeah liz has a new posting!!
