Saturday

Well we were once again awakened by the rooster, Chester who loves to crow at 4 AM on the weekends but thankfully calmed down enough that we could sleep in until 7, yikes whats with that bird? Anyhow we lounged around doing our quiet times then our social networking(on the Internet) before frying up some leftover taters and eggs for breakfast. We knew we were going to have a late lunch at a surprise birthday party later in the day so we skipped lunch altogether and decided to have a mountain breakfast instead of the usual boring oatmeal, oh yea!

Summer has arrived to Florida in a big way; Hot and humid, the fuzzies are everywhere from the big oaks and its to darn hot to work outside for any length of time after 10 Am. Last week it was in the 40's at night and this week the 80's. What happened to the 70's? Anyhow I set the sprinkler on the back gardens and pulled some weeds before we had to go check on GG as she never answered her phone. Seems she had a singing rehearsal and never told anyone she would be gone the morning, so we had to head over along with the neighbors to check on her. Nancy was afraid something happened to her so now we know to have her call every morning which will at least save us the trip over when she doesn't answer the phone.

We came back and got ready to head to Riverview for a surprise 60th birthday party for Jill's dad, Brian. We really surprised him and there were 30 or so in attendance. Susan had a huge jar of yellow corn balls and you had to guess how many were in the jar and Nancy guessed the closest number at close to a thousand she also was the first to find Brian in a huge class picture so she won both of the door prizes. I can't take her anywhere as she is always stealing the show, Ha!! There was potato and macaroni salads, hoagies or subs, dips, nuts, chips and a cake. We had to be there at 3 PM and then we headed out about 6:30 and got back home around 7:30. Its over a 100 miles round trip but we were able to see and play with Annsley and Gabe as well. It was a fun time and just a few family partiers were still there when we left.

We came back to watch the tube and read until it was lights outs around 10:30. Tomorrow we are heading over to Plant City after church in Tampa to a neat home cooking Fred's buffet we accidently found a couple months ago to celebrate both Nancy and Carols birthday again before heading to a blueberry winery to pick up their quarterly case of wine. On Monday Amy is cooking her mother a birthday supper, so let the partying continue, yikes!! LATER
