The Eagles

I've really been slacking when it comes to
blogging. I find I'm too busy taking care of the necessary things and
don't ever get around to doing the fun things.

One of those FUN things
I DID get around to was this ---

Last Saturday daughter Dana and I went to see

THE Eagles !!!!

Not the "bald" Eagles as Lily Kate has been calling them for a long time now.
We think maybe she got a trip to the zoo where she saw bald eagles
a bit mixed up with the Eagles her Pops and Pie listen to
and so -- for us, they will forever be
The Bald Eagles ------------
She asked for us to put The Bald Eagles in the cd
player when we are on the road.
And you can't fool her either.
We've tried to branch out and play someone
else. Nope. That girl knows her bald Eagles.

This concert was.....well.....I've been looking
for the right words ever since. And I'm not finding
words to tell you just how much fun this was.
Or how great the concert was.

I just kept saying "This is so fun!"

Inside I was squealing. A Lot. And often.
But a mature woman of my age
shouldn't squeal. Out loud. So I kept that to myself.

We travelled from downtown Fort Worth to downtown
Dallas
on the train, which was a great and fun experience
in and of itself.
We will definitely be doing that again.

It was smooth, fairly cool, very crowded
and very cosmospolitan. Now there's a word
we folks in west Texas don't use often -
cosmopolitan.

Our stop was literally across the street
from American Airlines Center.
Our seats were great !!! As you can see by
the picture.

Such FUN!!!!

The Eagles played from almost 8 until almost midnight
with only a short intermission which Glenn Frey said was so that
we could all rest.

He started off the concert, after they thrilled me by
singing Seven Bridges Road,
by welcoming us to
"the Assisted Living Tour".

Those guys are all my age or older and
the tight harmony they are known
for is just as it's always been --
phenonmenal !

This may have been my first Eagles concert,
but it will not be my last.
I'm going again next time they are
close and taking people with me.

Just get ready friends!

Summertime and the livin' is easy

Ice cream freezers crankin' up delicious
vanilla, strawberry cheesecake and Mexican chocolate --
WOW! So good!

From now through about mid-September, maybe even early October---
this will be a constant on the backporch clothesline.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

We three gals stopped
in at Wal-mart over the weekend because....
well........it's a weekend, a holiday, all kinds of craziness
breaks out in a Wal-mart on weekends. And especially holiday
weekends.
And we couldn't miss the action, right?

They had fresh cherries for a ridiculously low
price.
We all three bought a huge bag,
pooled our resources
and everyone ate to their heart's delight.

Look at the cute tin beverage
dispenser I found at.......you know I'm gonna say it.....Wal-mart.
It holds 3 gallons which is just the
amount of iced tea this family consumes
on a typical summer day.

I bought 2 of them. One sweet, one not.

Around the house.......

Summer arrangement in bathroom.

New color in the kitchen "alfalfa".
Replaces "lobster".
I'm lovin' it. Waaaaaay brighter than my usual m.o.

Out on the porch.

Parade !!!!

Early morning pre-parade prep--
Pops takes Blake a cup of coffee
and then the parade can begin.

Here's a good shot of some of our
little town. That's the baseball field just across
the street from our front yard.
And beyond that in the distance are
the grain silos. Shiny towers, I think
is what Lily Kate calls them.

When they are coming to Mereta,
she knows they are almost there
when she can see the shiny towers
in the distance.
Of course, every little town around here
has "shiny towers" so it can
be a little confusing. And frustrating
for a 3 year old.

Well......it wasn't a very long
parade. Only 1 float.

They won!

LOTS of this went on over the Memorial Day weekend!

Swim to the ladder.
Repeat.

The Tractor

Memorial Day Saturday William, Colin and Blake set out to go get "the little tractor".
Tractor has been off visiting and it was time to get her back home.

As soon as it was unloaded guess who
??? bolted right out the door and made a beeline .......
Jigsy

He jumped up on the seat and just sat there.
He watched the horse grazing.
And surveyed what little action was going on in town.
Nothing! would convince him to get off that tractor seat.

Doesn't he look like he is just coming
in from plowing the "back 40"?

Funny, funny dog boy.

Keep Calm and Carry On

The night of the party ( 3 weekends ago),
we were hit by an incredible storm. Just as everyone arrived, the bottom fell out.
Claps of thunder.
Buckets of rain.
And I'm pretty sure at one point,
lightning struck in our back yard.
THAT will get your attention.

We all kept our "party" attitudes though
and decided to

...........and we did......Carry On.
