Oh my gosh, I'm embarrassed to be me. Really. When you say you're a blogger and your July posts equal 2 and one says Hi July and one says Bye July you know you are being a blog slacker! Have we not done anything this long month? Vacation? Nope. No vaca here. Family reunions? Nope again. Anything really blog worthy? Maybe but just didn't take pics I guess and maybe just didn't blog. Anyway, I'm here now and before this last day of July is over I will give it a shot! I had to look at my photos to see if there was anything worth mentioning. Here goes:
Jack got a really cute shirt from our son in Oregon. Craig started working with a new company called Pacific Seafood. He's a human resource director there. Jack is always kidding him about sending us some good fish, or shrimp. or lobster. So this shirt with the company name on it and pics of fish was his answer! It's really a sweet shirt with secret pockets and everything. No hidden lobsters in those pockets though! Besides, lobsters aren't the what they sell anyway! Today we went to a new to me store called Pop Shop. It had a lot of things that were fall and Halloween related and I'm getting things for our October family reunion so this was right up my alley! Prices are super good too. Jack took one look around and said, "I'll wait in the car. Take your time." And I did! This is just a few pics of some of the stuff they had. I grabbed a few things but will have to make a return trip I'm sure!
I like this sign but didn't buy it. I bought a little sign for my kitchen though:
This one fit nicely on my pantry door! Because we're having this reunion here in October we've been busy getting the house "to do things list" done. One of those things was getting our driveway done. It's a stone drive but needed to be redone. We had a sweet gentleman stop by last week and we looked up his company and found them to be the real deal so we signed up for a chip and seal drive. We would have loved to have concrete but that's not in the budget! Here's a before and after:
BEFORE: Notice the grass median strip? Over the years we've had stones replaced and I often wonder where in the heck they all go over time. Is there a huge stone wall buried under the driveway?
AFTER:
Nice and smooth, no grass and hopefully it will last the 10 years they promised. We most likely won't be here in 10 years to find out but for today I'm happy with it!
After the driveway pic, I shot this one. See that white dot?
Yep, just silly Annabelle sitting there like she's waiting for a bus. She's a westie for sure with the "westitude" to go with her! On a final note, Jack and I went out for lunch after my fun shopping time. I noticed this vehicle in the parking lot of a restaurant we didn't go to. And frankly, I wouldn't go to any eating establishment with this parked in the lot.
I report, you decide. Bye Bye Miss July. It's been a blast!
