Saturday Morning Rambling

Here I sit once again in a quiet household, I'm once again the first one to recover from a losing battle with that dreaded Sandman and I'm up watching Idiocricy on HBO and collecting my thoughts for the day.

Michelle is steal healing up from a couple of procedures that she had this week, she actually went in to work yesterday morning and they sent her home. She's too much of an asset they want her to get healthy so they sent her home to heal and rest. Did she? No, she scrubbed carpets..lol

No big plans  for this morning, but we are going to a birthday party this evening for Erica and Josh. Val asked yesterday about an ingredient she need for Erica's cupcakes, Apple Gummy Rings.You would think anyone who sold bulk candies would have it. She ran around yesterday to a half a dozen places and couldn't find them, we ran to Sam's Club, Giant Eagle, two CVS's and a Walgreens and had absolutely no luck at all. We stopped at Valley Mart across the street to play "777" on the daily number, I had a hunch, and guess what they had an abundance of? You guessed it, those Apply Gummy Rings or at least a similar product. We picked them up and Val came over and got them from us, mission accomplished.

It's going to be a pool party for the kids this evening, I know Val has been stressing and trying to get this organized and have everything ready. Should be a great day as I will have my camera and video camera in tow capturing the moments.

I did get a message from Brittany, she has finally received the flag (which for some reason I can not orient this picture correctly. We went through Congressman McKinley's once again and arranged to have the flag that flew over the US Capital on the day that she graduated from West Virginia University (May 17th) for Brittany to have to commemorate the day. It does take a few weeks for it to arrive, but it finally arrived yesterday and she messaged me to say thank you. She wants to get a picture with us and her together at the Picnic in a couple of weeks, and we will be honored to comply to that request. She earned it.

Today is the last day of business for Big Kahunas, my Sister and Step Father both have worked there but the new ownership is not retaining them. I think it is a huge mistake as the regulars are familiar with them and want them to stay, but the new ownership wants to take it in another direction.

We tried Morgantown's new Sports Bar the Green Turtle yesterday afternoon, we wanted to try it before the place got bombarded as every new establishment does and we were very satisfied. It will be a place that we go to again.

Have a great day and enjoy your Saturday.
