1. Holidays in the summer are filled with so many fun activities, volleyball, badminton, croquet, Bar-B-Q, swimming, the list is endless!

2. Steaks, asparagus, squash, & zucchini,  are my favorite things to grill.

3. My thoughts are preoccupied with what all I need to finish before our party. worried

4. Partying party  is what I’m most looking forward to this weekend!

5. My favorite book (series) so far this summer is Karen Monings Highlander series.

6. Sitting on my patio with a cup of coffee and a good book is the best way to begin a day.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to our 4th of July party, tomorrow my plans include recovering from our 4th of July party and Sunday, I want to do whatever the day brings forth, hoping it’s being lazy in the pool! )

Monday Musings

We had a busy and wonderful weekend! ) Friday was Miss Priss’s 20th birthday, but because Big D had to go to class that night, we planned her birthday celebration for Saturday. Friday night, just us girls (Miss Priss, my niece and myself) did some major league shopping. Of course, something new for the birthday girl to wear to her party, and then we found the cutest sundress for my niece with the perfect shoes!  She looked adorable!!

Missy posing, Vogue style! innocent  

Had a fun dinner at “Logan’s Roadhouse” then we continued our shopping spree! We found some awesome decorations for our 4th of July party then headed home to rest up for a busy Saturday!

I spent the first part of Saturday working on the house while the kids were working on the outside. When I finished up I went out to help, and it was HOT! But the yard and flower beds look great. All the shrubs are trimmed, everything is weeded, and thinned out. Looks good! We had to cut it short so the back didn’t get done, because we had to rest and get cleaned up before Miss Priss’s party. But we’ll get it done early this week.

We had a wonderful birthday dinner, great time with family and friends! The food was absolutely spectacular! We started out with appetizers of Grilled Fish Tacos with Lemon Pico, Grilled Veggie Quesodillas, and Applewood bacon wrapped grilled Jalepenos stuffed with Chipolte shrimp and cream cheese! yum Is your mouth watering yet? I had the Salmon with mango pico, which I have to say is the absolutely most spectacular Salmon I have ever tasted. For dessert they brought out Miss Priss her favorite (and mine) the Chocolate Chili Brownie! I made the statement to my mom that taking a bite of that brownie which had cayenne pepper in it, was like having a mini orgasm in your mouth! embarrassed  She tried it, and agreed! mrgreen  

 The Salmon!! Yum!! yum

The birthday girl with the really special brownie! )

Since my dear sister is blogging now ( she’s SheeshinTx of 4ofakind)  I thought I’d share a photo of us taken Saturday night. It’s a pretty good shot of the two of us! )

The Sisters!! luv

Sunday was spent with Big D, we had errands to do in preparation for the 4th. We are replacing our patio furniture that was damaged when we had that major hail storm awhile back. Found exactly what we wanted and it was on sale! mrgreen Also bought some wicker furniture for the back porch, a love-seat and two chairs with two small end tables! Love having that out there, spent quite a bit of time already out there enjoying it. I believe my morning coffee time will be quite enjoyable! innocent  

Enjoyed lunch with Brandon and Brit, as they helped us pick up all the furniture from the store. They are so cute together! She fits in our family so well, we really had fun together today. I’m so glad my son has excellent taste! )

 So that was the gist of my weekend, it was busy and fun and well, you get the picture! :LOL: We have a busy week ahead but I’m so looking forward to the 4th! I would much rather be busy than not doing anything at all! )

How was your weekend? Talk to me, Monday Musings Style! innocent
