Bell Buckle

A couple of weekends ago we went to a Shakespeare play in Bell Buckle, Tn. I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to go. I have never liked Shakespeare, I thought all of his plays ended with everyone dying. But the one we saw was a comedy. So I was pleasantly surprised. It was still difficult for me to understand. I was amused that the actors spoke hillbilly Shakespeare. And I was doubly amused by the dog who licked his privates, which got the audience to snicker. When the actor noticed the audience snickering he looked down and cracked up and then put his hat down to try to hide the act.

But we left early in the day so that we could get to the show in plenty of time. We thought we would eat out nearby. So we headed to get some dinner and found that there is only ONE place to eat in the whole town. I'm not kidding you. So we waited for a LONG time, maybe even over an hour, to get in to this Bell Buckle Cafe. The lemonade was worth the wait, but I can't say I liked what I ordered and I was so excited about it. I ordered a chicken salad on a croissant. But the chicken salad was FULL of celery, mayonaisey and mustardy. BLECH! The homemade pizza the boys got was really yummy though. I did get a piece of that.

But while we waited we looked around the town. And thankfully it was beautiful and I think I got a few good pictures.

We didn't stay on the tracks for long, because it was a working railroad.

We went into one of the antique stores that was still open and
Ashley tried on a few hats.

It was a pretty little town. I'm glad I got to see it.

Now I can say I've seen Bell Buckle and I never need to go back.

Water Balloon Fun

It is HOT HOT HOT outside. So we decided to have a little fun.

They always target me first! I don't mind as long as it doesn't hit the camera.

I got Ashley good!

All of us were drenched, but it was a great way to cool down.

Chick Fil A more pictures

Yea! I got my laptop back yesterday. I had a little scare when I opened it and it said the mainboard has been replaced. But when I turned it on I still had everything on it. So today I have been backing up all of my pictures onto disks, just incase I'm not so lucky next time.

Here are two more pictures from our Chick Fil A madness day!

Twilight of the Gods-Teaser

My pretty girl

I love my baby girl and I love it when I can find outfits to match her and her doll Sarah.

Today my daughter wants to get out of the house and go bowling. She is bored as her brothers are playing video games.

The kids have been really getting on each others nerves. Aussie and Ashley especially pick at each other.  But when Aussie went to a friend's house the other night Ashley missed him terribly.

I suppose I'll get ready and take them bowling. Kids bowl free all summer long at a near by bowling ally. Well you have to pay for the shoe rental.

Climbing the walls

At the Akron zoo my kids got to climb the walls. Since we've been home from vacation they have been climbing the walls here. I just can't keep them entertained 24/7.

Fireworks on the lakes

One of my very favorite things to do is go out on the boat and see the fireworks for the fourth of July. We got to go to Ohio where my parents live and go out on Dad's boat. Here are just a few of the amazing fireworks we saw. Oh how I wish I could do this every year, but unfortunately traveling is expensive.

Blog hop for Bella

Forgive me I still don't have a computer so I am trying to post from my phone.

There is a sweet girl named Bella who is struggling with a bad sickness that caused her to have her limbs amputated. She is 8 years old and you can read her story at WWW.bellatucker.org.

My friend Rachel (www.onmybackporch.blogspot.com) is participating in a blog hop starting here at WWW.denisesstampingpage.blogspot.com. and ending at Erin's blog WWW.scrapstampandbemerry.blogspot.com. Each person is making a card and sending it to Bella. They've been at it all month long but I just heard about it today. So I decided to make a card and send it too. Maybe you'll join me?

Many of the ladies along the way are offering prizes.

Chick Fil A madness

So yesterday was cow appreciation day at Chick Fil A. Crazy crazy crazy but we sought out three different Chicks for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have to admit that was too much. I'm hoping the picture posts. It is a picture of my kids and Ashley's friend Abby dressed up like cows. If you dress up like a cow you get a free meal. We ate free all day long.

No computer

Well it is quite frustrating. My laptop died last week and I had to send it back to the company. Luckily I still have a warranty on it, but who knows when it will be fixed and sent back to me. Well today our home desktop computer died. Ugh!

I have been wanting to update my blog with vacation pictures, but it will have to wait.

I am typing this from my phone, so I dont think I can upload pictures.

Anyway that's what's happening around here.
