Saturday Rambles

Last night we had nasty storms. Tornado watch, thunderstorm watch. Good night to stay inside and eat jelly beans. Yes, jelly beans. (Mike brought out his Father's Day jelly beans...Jelly Bellies...our family are jelly bean freaks!) We also saw "The Book of Eli" with Denzel Washington on DVD. Good flick! It's rated R because it's pretty violent in places - some gruesome fight scenes - but it's a pretty good movie!

Tonight Shelly - my partner-in-crime friend is subjecting her family to dinner at our house bringing her family to our house for dinner. Mike is making his famous fish fry with some of the sunnies and blue gills we caught last weekend and froze (I tell you - he makes a MEAN fish fry!). Bridgette whipped up a great fruit salad...she's been balling melon and chopping strawberries and washing grapes and...um, opening Dole fruit salad cans (!) . :) I've been making Key Lime Blueberry cheesecake and I bought some bread. Shelly's bringing coleslaw and lettuce salad, so we're good! And, I cleaned yesterday - and Shelly's a friend that I don't have to be manic about my house with. Whew! So, tonight we have company! Yeah! I hope it's nice out, because I'd love to have a bonfire...and I even have the fixin's for s'mores (I replaced the marshmallows I've been munching on...). Our daughters are good friends and her boys are such fun! I'm sure Aaron will appreciate having somebody to play the Wii with... I'm just excited to have company...can you tell? We had company last weekend - I love entertaining! And, summer is the best entertaining season, if you ask me.

Now, if we can just keep those storms away so we can light a bonfire...

Hope you have a great Saturday!
