Hope everyone who celebrates the 4th of July had a safe & sane holiday. Ours was very nice. Spent the morning hanging around the house, then around noon headed out to the nursery for some garden plants. It is rather late in the season, which meant there were not a lot from which to choose, but on the other hand the ones we did get already had blossoms on them which means not much longer before we'll have fruit & veggies. We got two tomato plants, two artichokes, a chocolate bell pepper (sorry, Sis, it gets the name from the color, not the flavor), basil, a hot pepper, and two tomatillo plants. Today we will be planting them.
We had planned on going out to dinner & a movie with our friends Moon & MH2, however we remembered on Thursday night that duh, Friday was the 4th of July. Since Hali is usually pretty freaked out by fireworks we always stay home with her. Fortunately our friends were quite content to stay in as well, and we had a nice BBQ with carne asada, fish, and shrimp along with green salad, potato salad, and chipsandsalsa. There was also so-called iced cream but we were all too full to eat even a bite!
Moon & MH2 brought along a DVD that some co-workers of theirs had made for him of his last two "voyages" as a skipper on Disney's Jungle Cruise, and we enjoyed watching that. I also introduced MH2 to the joys of Flickr addiction. I was showing her the search feature; we looked up "renaissance faire southern" and amongst the hits for that were three pictures that had Moon in them (he plays a Puritan at the faire) so she was really jazzed about that.
I also took a picture of MH2's hair; she also works at Disneyland as a ride operator, and when people ask her about "hidden Mickeys" in the park she always tells them that they missed one--then turns around. She says it always gets a laugh.
They stayed until around 10:00, and surprisingly there really hadn't been many fireworks at all. We probably *could* have gone out without Hali getting too freaked; still, I'm rather glad we stayed because we got to chat a lot more than if we had gone to a movie.
Guess I'm hungry; my first thought when I saw the hairdo was "cinnamon rolls", not Mickey! Glad you had such a nice time on the 4th, and that Hali wasn't spooked. And what is that, hiding behind the chair? It should be prominently displayed on the wall.
ReplyDeleteI guess that should have been "hiding behind the couch", not the chair. But still...
ReplyDeleteIt's being protected from possible damage while we try to find wall space for it!
ReplyDeleteI know the pictures change as time goes by, but as of 5:25 today, if you type "mickey hair" as a Flickr search subject, your picture comes up first!
