We are heading up north to Adrian's boss's house on the lake for his annual bash. But, it's on the 3rd. My parents & Jazzie are kind enough to come up & stay with Harlowe so we can go. So appreciative about that, especially with all of the fireworks going on already. They make her anxious. We should be home late that night/early Thursday, and then we'll celebrate the 4th with my parents! We got some steaks to grill, and I will also make some cheesy au gratin potatoes, and corn on the cob. I'll be making my taco dip to snack on, as well. Mom is making my favorite Magic Cookie Bars- we aren't going to go hungry
Sounds like you are going to have fun!!!!
Magic Cookie Bars? We need the recipe for those!!!!

I almost spit my coffee out this morning when I looked up and saw this. I didn't know if his head was going to be stuck or not. Don't worry, it wasn't, lol.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our dominion within thy loving care;
Help us to find, O God, in thee
A lasting, rich reward,
As waiting for the Better Day,
We ever stand on guard.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Today, I need to go grocery shopping, and stop at Menards & pick up a few more lawn chairs, and then study.
It's supposed to be sunny & nice today, with a high of 82 degrees.
Hope you all have a blessed day!!
- Canadians consume more macaroni and cheese than any other nation on earth.
- The Canadian motto, A Mari Usque ad Mare, means "From sea to sea."
- Canada did not have a national flag until February 15, 1965, when its maple leaf flag was adopted by its parliament.
- The average life expectancy at birth for a Canadian is 81.16 years, the eighth highest in the world.
- Between 1984 and 2008, it was illegal to sell pop in cans in PEI. All carbonated drinks had to be purchased in refillable glass bottles.
- The 1964 animated TV movie “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was filmed in Japan, but the entire soundtrack was recorded in a studio in Toronto, Ontario and most of the cast were Canadian. The people who voiced Rudolph and Hermey are neighbours in an Ontario retirement community.
- Our Parliament Has a Sanctuary for Stray Cats... a colony of strays have lived just behind the Parliament buildings since the 70’s and are cared for by volunteers.
- Canada is the world's largest exporter of mustard seed, 80% is grown in brilliant yellow fields in Saskatchewan.
- Canada's Royal Mint has produced coins for more than 60 other countries.
Thanks for the facts...pretty cool! I hope you have a happy Canada Day! Enjoy the celebrations!
Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!
Prayers going out to Ryan. I'm so sorry for your loss, my friend.
And healing prayer requests for Merry's Mr. I hope all goes well for you both.
Jacob finally came home from the Christian retreat, and is very, very intense about his convictions now. He got out of the car and hugged his mama and hugged me...in public...for longer than 1 second! It's all he's talked about since he got home. Bless his heart.
Our family vacation keeps getting pushed out for other things. Now we can't go when we planned because Elizabeth has auditions for the Nutcracker. Last year, she missed the audition and went to late auditions and only got a small part. She wants a larger role this year, but has to be here that week to get it. I doesn't look like vacation is in the cards for us this year. Oh well.
I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hello all.
MerryCarey-what's the latest word on Mr.? Praying for you guys!
Well, I have to throw something out there...
My grandma's husband is in the hospital recovering from a surgery related to prostate cancer. My great-grandma went into the hospital last week. My cousin had her twins four months prematurely, and yesterday we lost one of my other cousins. So, my grandma has her husband, her mother, her great-grandbabies in the hospital, and lost a grandson yesterday. Prayers for grandma would be appreciated! She's an amazing woman and I have a tremendous amount of respect for her and love her dearly. It breaks my heart all that has gone on, and breaks my heart to see her with so much on her. She's strong and is surrounded by family, and she's one tough woman!
I'll move on but just had to give a shout-out to grandma because she's my hero!
Well, in spite of everything, I am excited about July 4th! We bought things for our annual cook-out over the weekend...and I can't wait to make some boneless beef ribs, brats, hot links, and some other stuff. Our neighbors come over, and we can see a great fireworks show from the front lawn. Moore is continueing on with the celebration and I think it's awesome for the community since this has been such a hard summer with the torandoes. Moore needs some fun and by golly we're going to have it Thursday come hades or high water! :wink:
Alright, sorry to rant. Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

I hope Elizabeth gets the role she wants this year!
LittleCS is auditioning for a role in the play "How to Succeed in Business without really trying" being put on by the community players.
Some things are just more important than vacations.
Thank you for the prayers.
Awesome about your son! As a parent, I bet there's nothing better! Have a good day!
that's right ,here in England the kids only get 6weeks starting at the end of July.

HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ALL CELEBRATING:merry:
I'm not working right now, just preparing for my exam & helping Adrian out with his charity work when he has things for me to do =]
We are going up north on the morning & afternoon of the 3rd. (We are driving separately so he has more time there) I will wait until my folks get here so I can show them a few things. So, we'll just be gone for the day.
Thanks, we'll have fun I'm sure!!
Hope you're having a fabulous Canada Day!!
