~Born In Burrwood~

Ok I finally got my internet working after 4 days of messing around with them. I thought it was fixed one day then they next 2 days it still kept gong on and off. So frustrating I tell ya. Then when I think I can finally get on here William comes to stay with us for a week or so. His dad’s friend from New York is here visiting and those two are staying in Madison while she’s here and William didn’t feel like staying home alone. I think he just didn’t want to cook his own meals lol and besides, their pc isn’t working that great either. Kathy is thinking about moving here from N. Y. so they are checking things out in Madison to see how she likes it. Billy said Madison is a lot like Brooklyn where she lives. It would be great if she decides to move, I really like her. It will be awhile if she does though.

We are having another family party over at Terry’s again today. No surprise there right lol. In fact I should be making my coleslaw right now. I’m not even sure when it starts. Doesn’t matter though. The party really doesn’t start until I GET THERE hehehe. I hope it warms up some though and that the sun comes out, it’s kind of chilly right now.

Well I’m going to try to get around to visit some of you before I go over to Terry’s and before William wakes up. But if I don’t get there I want to wish you all and very Happy and Safe 4th of July.

Hugs

And it’s still going in and out today. When it first happened I thought it was our modem so we went and bought a new one. When that one didn’t work either I called our provider and sure enough it turns out to be in their system. I using live writer right now as I don’t know how long I will be on from one minute to the next. From what they tell me there are quite a few homes in our area that are also out of commission but they say it should be fixed sometime today.

Boy the weather sure took a turn. Our high today is only going to be in the 50’s or 60’s and it was that way yesterday too. Almost feels like fall. Tomorrow is suppose to start warming up again. It’s good for sleeping but I do prefer temps in the 70’s.

This afternoon I want to go see the movie Public Enemies with Johnny Depp. You know, it’s the one about John Dillenger and part of the movie was filmed right here in Wisconsin. The FBI thought they had Dillenger surrounded at the Little Bohemian resort up in Manitowish Wisconsin where they opened fire on the building. Bill and I were up there a few years ago and the bullet holes are still in it. It’s a restaurant now but they have kept things they way it was back then. It’s kind of interesting. So that’s my plan for today, especially if the internet keeps going on and off. 

Ok, I’m going to try to get this on. At least if it doesn’t work it will save in drafts and I won’t have to write it all over again…I hope. But that’s why I haven’t been around lately in case you were wondering. And why I won’t be around if it keeps up lol. Hope to see you soon.!

Update…

Well, since I first wrote this our internet went out again, then it came back, then it went out lol. It went like that all day and never stayed on long enough for me to get this posted so I gave up and went to see the movie. It’s pretty good. You can sure tell some of it was filmed right here. It sure looks like they filmed at the Little Bohemian because that building looks like the one we were at. I say it’s only pretty good because I’ve seen better but I’m glad I went. Besides, Johnny Depp is worth the money lol. Oh if I were only younger hehehe.

It looks like it’s working again so I’m going to try this one more time. Hope to see you soon!

Bill and I have been married 43 years today. I remember it was just as hot that day as it will be today. In fact it was so hot that our wedding cake started to melt and lean. We were afraid it was going to tip over so we had to hurry up and eat then cut the cake. We had the best reception though and was so much fun. The band was great and you all know how much I love to dance. Back then the bride and groom always left before their guests did to start their honeymoon and I hated to leave because I was having so much fun. Now days the happy couple stay for the entire time. We didn’t go on a honeymoon right away though, it was two weeks later. Guess where we went. We went up north fishing and I had never fished a day in my life before that. The resort was very nice though and the owners were great people. Not only that we went with another couple who I had never met before our wedding day lol. They were older and probably had been married at least 10 years by then. We had fun though and they were easy to talk to and and fun people. We shared a cabin and thank God she did all the cooking. It didn’t allow us much privacy though so one day while they were out fishing we snuck back in the cabin and locked the door. Well wouldn’t you know it they came back early. When they found the door locked they left and went to the little bar the resort had. Of course they knew why it was locked but I was embarrassed when we met up with them later. It is fun to think back and fondly remember times like that.

I’m not sure if we will do anything today or not. Maybe we’ll go out for dinner. I thought William would still be here but a friend of his called yesterday and wanted to hang out so I took him home yesterday afternoon. I was teasing him that since he’d been here so long that I was going to go to court to get custody and make his mom and dad pay me child support lol.

Well take care you guys and keep cool. It’s going to be another cooker today. 

Bri and I had a great time shopping together Monday. She’s getting at the age where she has a hard time deciding what she wants. She has enough dolls she said and didn’t really want another one. We wondered around the store when she saw a purse she just loved. Her favorite color is pink and this was was all pink and covered in sequins so in the cart it went. It was only $5.00 so I told her she could keep looking to see if something else caught her eye. She spotted this thing that beauty shops have to dispense hair color. It has red, blue, yellow and pink bottles and she’s a true diva at heart and loves to do different things with her hair so she decided she would get that. Later that night she was playing with it and did her hair with mom’s help. Isn’t she cute? I told her to do her dad’s hair too lol.

After a hard day of shopping we went for ice cream. She had a shake and I had a banana split and boy did it taste good too! We had fun her and I and I treasure each and every minute I spend with my babies. I’m a lucky grandma!

Speaking of grandkids, I think William is moving in with us lol. He’s been here almost two weeks now and doesn’t want to go home. He’ll have to go home pretty soon though, at least for a day. He has an appointment to have his senior pictures taken. I can’t believe he is going to be a senior in high school already, where has the time gone! What do you buy kids now days for a graduation gift? Probably money huh. Years ago people bought their kids suitcases. Do you think that was some kind of hint or something lol.

My daughter and her family are leaving in the morning for their vacation. They are headed to Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. I know they will have a great time. I wonder how Brody will do having to spend so much time in the car. He’s such a good baby though and hardly anything bothers him so he might do ok. All I know is I want them to have a fantastic time and come home safe.

It’s been really hot here and today is no different so I’m staying inside. I hope it’s nice for all of you but if it’s hot be careful and drink lots of water. Check on your neighbors too don’t forget. Yesterday our neighbor was mowing his lawn in this heat so I kept watching to make sure he was ok. Things can happen so fast in these temperatures.

Have a great day ya’ll!

To my daughter Deanna and her hubby Jon. They’ve been married for 12 years I think lol. I’m pretty sure that’s what it is. I also want to wish my Sister and her hubby Jack and their son and daughter-in-law a very very Happy Anniversary. Today is both of their anniversaries. They all got married on the same day lol. Lots of June weddings. I love you guys!!!

Bri and I are going birthday shopping today then out for ice cream. She called last night to make sure and find out what time we are going lol. the kids sure like doing that and so do I. I always ask them where they want to go and of course they always say Toys’R’Us. Where else would a 8 year old want to go right? I’ll be picking her up about 1 this afternoon and I hope it won’t be too hot. The AC doesn’t work all that great in my car anymore, the poor old thing. It is a 92 but it still runs great but the AC is tired.

Well I better go get my face on and get ready to pick up my peanut for our girls day of shopping. I will try to get around to visit today. William is here again so I’m pretty sure he’ll be on here by the time I get home but I will try. It seems I’ve been a slacker about that and feel bad about it. I hope you all don’t forget me hehe. Take care and have a great day and a wonderful week.

Hugs to all!
