Good afternoon, everybody! Hope you had a lovely 4th of July holiday day. Our was pretty much like any other day of the year, except that we went to the park in Long Lane, MO and watched the fireworks show. Pretty good. The only thing that was disappointing was the finally. Usually, at least the one we attended there 2 years ago, the ending was a mass amount of BIG fireworks, this year it was a barrage of little to medium ones. Still very pretty, just not as intense as in the past.
We finally put the window air-conditioner in yesterday. The heat was really starting to bother me (zapping almost all my energy), so we just did it. Granted, the unit is really too small to keep the house super cool, but it does keep the livingroom at 80*F or a little below. At least it's cooler than the outdoor temps that have been above 90*F the last few days.
Got our major, monthly shopping done on Tuesday. Still need to buy some meat. We'll probably go back to Lebanon tomorrow, to Smitty's, and partake in the 5 for $25 deal on packages of meat. We don't like to buy meat at Wal-Mart or Woods because they both get the meat that's been injected with water or whatever that raises the weight of the meat so they can sell it for more. We prefer our meat not to be injected with anything, if we can help it.
Today we'll be going to the park in Buffalo to meet with other homeschooling families. Should be a good time.
Oh yeah, and we'll be filling our 5 gallon container with gas so that we (me) can mow this week. Since we've gotten quite a bit of rain since last week, the grass has grown A LOT. So, to keep any snakes that may be thinking about sneaking closer to the house from doing so, and to make it easier for the chickens to find any ticks that may be hiding in the grass easier to find, I'll be mowing.
Today a technician from CenturyTel is suppose to come and check the phone line and hopefully figure out a fix to the constant disconnects.
Have a happy day! Cheers! And all that! :-)

Sounds like a good day, Todd! You did a lot more than we did. Let's see, closed up the house because it got over 100 degrees (and will again today), barbecued enough meat for a family of 5 (there were three of us), watched the fireworks our neighborhood bought (they were the best illegal fireworks we have seen yet), then started playing Patrick's computer came, Diablo 2. Well, was playing that dang game until 4 am! That's one more game I have been sucked into.

Thanks, but all of that was over a few days, so not really on that taxing on our systems. *grin* That game you're now hooked-on sounds interesting. What's it about?
