Aw Mendi don't be embarrassed about showing up for work on a day off. Happens to lots of people when the schedule continually changes. Glad you get Sun. and Mon. off.
Thank you for the fire works Ditzi and have a happy 4th all my fellow Americans. We have our flags waving, both U.S. and Canadian.
Sounds like a fun filled life going on Ditzi. No sitting around bored for you this summer! Yea!

*blush* Tony and I had a wonderful evening at the ball park, even though the Bulls lost. We got to see a fireworks display last night there at the ball park, so we feel as if we have already celebrated. This morning, late..we ate out at Cracker Barrel. Now Tony is crashed and I have just gotten up from a nap. We were up too late.
I might not get out to the farm today, as it is getting late. When he wakes Iwill see what he wants to do. We might go for a swim.
Hope ya'll are having a great day

See any more "fireworks" after Tony got up last night??? hmmmmm....??? Just teasing, I am currently sex and romance starved at the moment and am living Vicariously through you, pat. I'm loving it. Well, not the starved part but hearing about your love life.[p]
Last night was dead at work, lol. I dreaded it all day because not only was it friday but July 4th as well. Thought they'd be swamped. I walked in and told Janey (the main manager) that I hope she appreciates me because I was missing out on steak to be here. She thought it was funny. In truth though Mom and dad started their cookout way early so I could eat some before work. Dad wanted me to call in sick but I was like, "They'll KNOW I'm lying if I call in on the fourth!" I wanted to though, so bad. But we were practically dead last night. Half the crew went home before seven and the rest of us had all the pre-close stuff done before 8 and still no customers, We probably had 20 customers all night long and they were before 8 so we sat around waiting on the fireworks to start at nine, laughing and kidding around with each other. When they started up town we could see them and I thought it was cool to sit outside on the sidewalk, smoke, watch the fireworks and still get paid, lol.

Did you get paid time and a half for working a holiday Mendi? That would be a bonus and it sounds like you work with some nice people.
Our fireworks on the 1st got rained out. Don't know it they got ruined or if they saved them for later.
My daughter's family was going down across the border and catch the fireworks in the States yesterday but turned out the two girls and their dad all had to work late so didn't get to do that either.
My sis-in-law in Michigan went in for surgery this morning. Screwy deal. She's been in the hospital for a few days having tests and in terrible pain. No diagnosis. Some doctor waltzed in yesterday and told her she was getting up and walking for a while and he was sending her home today. The nurses had a fit and told her to call the advocate. Don't know what happened after that but all of a sudden this morning her daughter got a call from a Dr. that said she was having surgery immediately and that she had a blockage somewhere but they didn't know where. Very strange. Her daughter was on her way from Fl. You'd think they would have waited until she got there. So I'm thinking something went terrible wrong all of a sudden and they had to do something quickly. She's almost 80, a widow and has had a lot of health problems for years, poor thing. I hate being so far away when these things happen. She and I were very close when we lived in Mi.

Praise God, my sis-in-law isn't awake yet but she survived her surgery. Had an ovary and gall bladder removed and has an ulcerated duodenum. Her daughter and granddaughter got to Mi safely too.

Praise God for the good news about your sis in law. I'm glad she got through the surgery alright and I hope and pray she continues to heal. I know how bad it sucks to be so far away from the ones you love when they need you. That's one of the reason's I hated Louisianna, I was so far away from everyone. Three Grandparents and my brother died before I could get back to them. My heart and prayers are with you guys.
I didn't get holiday pay for working on the fourth, I'm not considered a full time employee so they don't have to give me any of the perks or benefits and they make sure my hours stay under 35 to make sure I don't earn enough to be considered full time.
I have some great, great, great....did I mention great???? News to report today. Chris had a six hour pass yesterday and we had always thought I wasn't going to be able to go because I was scheduled to work Saturday and we neeeeeed the money. His mom and sister were going to go without me so he'd have someone he loved and missed there. Well, I couldn't handle the thought of not going the closer it came to time. So without telling him, I called work and begged out of it yesterday morning (me actually going was all planned yesterday morning, last minute), promised them two shifts to make up for the one I was going to miss and Janey (my manager) told me to go on. I never told chris this, kept it to my self and his mom (I love my mother in law) decided not to go so there would be room in the car for me and the girls and we all kept it secret that it was me coming. Which was HARD because he sounded so depressed on the phone to me when we talked about me not being there. But the look on his face and the HUGE hug he gave me when he saw me and realized that it really WAS me was worth everything in the world to me. Yesterday was great. The girls enjoyed their dad too and were excited to see him. Although they stayed with Tawney (his sister) most of the time because we were being too gross and mushy holding hands and kissing all day. Which was ok because when Tawney would take them off in one direction, we'd sneak off in another to find a cubby hole somewhere. We never got any real alone time or anything, but right before It was time for us to leave, Tawney and the girls were watching Harry potter in the day room and we found a long dark abandoned hallway. I now love long dark abandoned hallways, lol. Tawney thought it was the funniest thing in the world and kept teasing us and finding other things for the girls to do and look at all day long, smile .
He wanted to leave and come home with us last night so badly but he chose to stay and finish it out, he has 9 more days to go. I wanted to stay there with him, I hated leaving him so bad. It's all worth it though if I get my husband back. I keep saying that over and over again. I'm still glowing over yesterday but I can't wait until the 15th.

Mendi: That was a wonderful surprise for the entire family. I am so glad you got to go. 9 more days is going to fly by. How wonderful that Chris is sticking it out for himself and his family. The reunion will be worth the wait.
Shirley: Glad your sil is doing well
As for Tony, yes, he has a hunky body! He is a large chested man and has muscular arms and legs....*sigh* He stayed here for two days and nights. Now I miss that hunk. I know I know...it's too early in the relationship to miss having him around. My mind is cukoobonkers. Must be hormonicals acting up again.
Tomorrow I am going out to the farm to work on the buffet and to help him with some piddly stuff in his shop. He has some organizational things he would like to have done...just separating nuts and bolts kinda things.
Should be a busy day, then I will come home and if not dead to the world after working out in the heat, I will take my class at the gym. Gotta keep this girlish figure *snicker*
