Enjoying the lifestyle

This weekend was fun filled. Stinky's been practicing his driving skills on the cart, and he's getting really good. We did the bbq thing with hot dogs and hamburgers on the 4th. Took a spin around the lake, and wondered where everyone was. Then went home and set off a few fireworks. We headed back to the lake and then we saw all the people! Carts and people everywhere. What I wasn't pleased was seeing dogs out. Fireworks people! Dogs don't watch fireworks like humans do. They don't necessarily understand what all the noise is about. We parked the cart off the path and headed up to meet Neville and his parents. They had marked a spot on the lake shore Thursday morning! Holy smokes! And to top it off, someone had moved their tarp! Seriously, next year I'm gonna have to stake out a spot too. So the fireworks show was lots of fun. I tried to film some of it, but it didn't come out as well as I hoped. What got us giggling and I tried to film that also was the traffic jam after the show. A sea of humanity and golf carts! I'm not used to seeing all those carts jammed up trying to get around. Goof, said it was like that when he took a quick drive to see the parade that morning. We decided not to get up early to see the parade, and I'm glad we didn't. Saturday was another fun filled night. Well it was for Stinky. We went to a drive in movie at the conference hotel above the lake. It was filled with golf carts and people in chairs. We thought it would rain, and we missed it. Unfortunately for Goof it was the movie Transformers. Very boring for him. Stinky was hoping to hang out with girls, but no go. We didn't do too much today, just hung around the house and did chores. I wanted to go to the library this weekend, but Sat, a T storm came in right after I left the house, so I just returned a book and jammed back home, missing the rain by 3 minutes. Today, I wanted to go, and just as I got ready... BOOM! Thunder started. Tomorrow I'm heading off to the library that's for certain.

I'm still working on my quilt, it's rather time consuming cutting the sewn squares into smaller squares. Hard to explain unless you saw what I was doing. Now comes the sewing again. When I'm done, I should have 80 blocks. Enough for two quilts, and then some. Then the placement of the blocks, and finally the quilting of the batting and back fabric. I have some smaller projects I need to get done this next two days. Have a friend that needs belly bands for her mom's dog, ASAP, and a pair of manly jammies for another dog person. I just can't seem to find many manly prints right now. Or we have different tastes. How manly is a male IG in jammies? You can only go cute, hilarious, and some what tough, but come on, the dog is wearing jammies! Moo, loves his jammies, but he's a sweet clown. He's not tough, nor does he want to act tough. This breed has silly, very loving males. The tough ones are the females with their outgoing personalities.

Wohoo! Is this 3 or 4?

Heard the rumblings of a lawn mower outside. I didn't get to see the jiggling saddle bags from Babymama. Kioskman took over the task this time. Temps are gonna be in the 90's, and they have their mower on the the lowest level. The grass will burn, and die. Hmmm, some point you gotta realize that a lawn grass is better than haphazard lengths of weed grass and it's seed heads.

Still can't think kindly of them, so I'm snickering as I see Kioskman has been home for at least 4 days. Nothing to it huh? Sales huh? Yea, we just came back from a mid week trip to SC. Goof had to conduct interviews for a new project he's undertaking. Stinky and I spent the time in the Hampton pool. The wifi in the hotel was rather weak. Had a fantastic seafood dinner at the Blue Marlin in Columbia. We had Chilean Sea Bass. Yea, yea I know it's not a sustainable harvest and it's being over fished. We caved. But I did pay double for wild harvested Florida pink jumbo shrimp, and wild caught sea scallops this past weekend. I don't know if the scallops were dry frozen though. I've got a few recipes I've been looking over to try.

Wish me luck, tonight I'm slow cooking dry rubbed St Louis ribs for dinner. If it doesn't work out that's alright, I also picked up some T bones for later in the week. Grilling is great when it's hot, forget turning on the oven. Though, I may have to for the southern grown peaches(it ain't from GA, probably FL. I may grill these with brown sugar and a bit of lemon juice on the grill. Otherwise, it's fruit crisp/cobbler time! I got some Ranier cherries calling me too.
