rainy independence day

I'm enjoying some much deserved time off from work. ahhh

My boys
think cooking is fun. Here they are today trying to take over cooking lunch for the family. I have to wonder how eager they will be in a few years..........hmm?




I spent all day Saturday with my little sweetie shown here. He was lonely after his sister died from an illness so he spent the entire day either on the back of my computer chair (shown here) or on my tummy when I took a nap. Unfortunately, my heart is now heavy because he is no longer with is, either.



On a good note, I finally finished the testing for the new certification for the contract work I do. I have one last piece of the training then I can start scheduling for that project as soon as I get my log-in info. Hopefully it will prove to be less stressful than the last project I've been working.

We have family coming over for brisket, bbq beans, cole slaw, cornbread, cakes and other goodies, and no telling what else James or my mom have come up with........It will be enough to make the tummies happy, that much I do know!!! We may try to find a firework display later, depending on the weather.

Happy 4th of July!!!
