The neighbors are having one of their pool parties.  For the last two days, the girlfriend (I don't think they're married) of the youngster who owns the monstrosity, has been sunbathing topless by the pool.  It hasn't occurred to her that if you're in my house and happen to walk by the bedroom window you can see all of it clearly.

And you're complaining about that?

Happy Father's Day to all our HHW daddies

[bk]

All I want is a caramel
Soft and chewy would ring my bell
One bite, and I shall drool
Aowww, that's a lovely caramel

Some with chocolate
And some just plain
When I'm done
None will quite remain
I'll eat each one myself
Aowww, that's a lovely caramel

Oh, a caramel it's so absobloominlutely yum
I would never go a month, without one inside my tum

Keep your Mars Bars they're such a bore
Keep your gummies and give me more
Of caramels galore
Aowww, that's a lovely caramel
Caramel
Caramel
Caramel
Caramel.

Did I say Happy Father's Day?  If not...Happy Father's Day

No, I rather enjoyed the view.  Twice.

[Cillaliz]

I hear thunder....

[bk]

But not on purpose - never on purpose.

[vixmom]

I've been getting very burned out at work - with the Obama $8000 benefit about to expire (you must close on your new property by 6/30) everyone has gonme into overdrive trying to get these done -  I've been getting in at 7 and leaving at 7 and working nonstop for the entire 12 hours

I come home completely drained - 

[Laura]

I just didn't like the show. Rap and shouting. Doesn't anyone sing in musicals any more? Must they all yell?

[Cillaliz]

Sorry you didn't like the show, DR Laura

Saturday the Vixter and I spent the day working on the yard

there was a section that had previously been a vegatablegarden - in the past several years in had been badly neglected - it also had become the dumping ground for an overabundance of clean fill,which ahd been mounded up on a tarp. The entire area was also overtaken by vines

It has taken several weekends of hard work but we finally cleared the entire area and bought and installed sod - it is now a much more pleasant view from the piano picnic table
view  from our patio

[vixmom]

we finally finished last night just before sunset (about 8:45.... we started about 10 AM)

after showering we both just collapsed

[Cillaliz]

WOW!  That's a lot of work Vixmom. Sounds like you'll have a great place to hang out

[vixmom]

today we had invited my parents and my brotjer andhis wife over for a Fatherr's Day BBQ - unfortunately, due to the all engrossing yard work I had not actually cleaned the house or bought any food for the occassion

[Cillaliz]

LOL Vixmom, that sounds like something I would do

[Cillaliz]

We have a severe thunderstorm watch until 5 AM.  Maybe I'll start readung the third book, lol

[vixmom]

So this morning there was a mad bit of vacumming and mopping (I do so love my Shark steam mop!!) before heading out to church

The Vixter's choir performed at the 9 AM service and we are on Altar guild duty this month (setting up and cleaning up for communion)    then we had Sunday School (last day  until September!) and then a mad rush to the supermarket

[Cillaliz]

I'm hearing lots of thunder...think i'll sign off and unplug the computers.  Night!

[Cillaliz]

Hmmm maybe I should get a stem mop

[vixmom]

Ibought the makings for salad, mixed spring greens, fresh mushrooms, dried CRANBERRIES, smoked almonds, and I had left over crumbled bacon bits and crumbled bleu cheese from last week's Skip's egg recipe  - it made a very nice salad especially witha the cranberry viangarette dressing

[John G.]

Made Fried Apples'n'Onions for dinner. Actually did a load of laundry and I'm getting a little caught up on work on a couple of projects. What's happening?

[vixmom]

I also sliced some Vidalia onions and fresh mushrooms and dumped in some sherry and butter and let it simmer slowly for about an hour   (I love that my outdooe grill has a side burner so I can cook this outside where the delicous aroma does not become imbedded in the couch or curtains)

Sounds great.

Jane's Karmels have arrived and I just ate four of them and they are simply unbelievably unbelievable.

[vixmom]

and I bought 7 strip steaks so we would eachhave our own personla steak - I popped them into my tupperware marinating tray  along with some monterey steak season, and half a cup of sherry and some olive oil - it marinated about 3 hours before grilling and the steak was really nice if I do say so myself (which I just did - so there)

[vixmom]

For the "sides" I steamed some bay red potatoes and some fresh corn on the cob

dessert was blueberry pie and vanilla ice cream  and angel food cake  with whipped creama and fresh blueberries and sstrawberries

Now I'm really envious. Blueberry pie!

[vixmom]

The Vixter &  I uncovered the yard swing and put on the seat cushion and we  set up the  two popup canopies and put out the chairs - filled the cooler with ice and finally our guests arrived  -

of course just as the grill was heating up for teh steaks the thunderstorm  that had been forecast for the past three weeks decided to finally show up

[John G.]

I have to make a blueberry pie every year for a friend for her birthday. What a treat it is for me, too. I love that touch of nutmeg and the acid from the lemon juice mixing in with the berries. The butter richness of the crust. Guess I'm going to have to make one this week.
