Hope everyone had a wonderful 4^th of July.    Our’s was peaceful.  We had plans to go to a friend’s home for the festivities.  Sadly, she had to cancel because her uncle had a massive stroke and she thought she might have to catch a flight to Boston on the 4^th.

A couple of girls from my krewe and I had made joint hair appointments for July 5^th.  Unfortunately, we had to cancel the hair appointments.

On top of the cancellations it has been raining cats and dogs since July 4^th.

George and I watched the New York City fireworks show on TV and a couple of neighbors dropped by to visit.  It is always pleasant when these neighbors visit.  They are a couple of comedians, like Gracie Allen and George Burns.  They started telling jokes and between the four of us the jokes simply got worse and worse, until we were laughing because the jokes were so bad.

A lot of digitizing has been going on at Cajun Stitchery as well as stitching out some really cute Mickey Mouse designs. 

During the process of checking out pricing with one of our wholesalers, I noticed some adorable baby and children onesies, bibs, and tee shirts.  First, I saw the little onesies with the tutu.  These actually come in black, white, and raspberry.  They are completely out of the raspberry color.  I fell in love with these little onesies.  Then I saw the little red, white and blue patriotic onesie.  I simply had to buy some of them.  In fact, I also bought some of the little tee shirts with the tutu.  See the attached photographs and visit our online catalog at http://www.imprintit.biz/cgi-bin/cobrand/site.w?location=olc/catalog-home.w&top=catalog&frasmes=no&target=main&sponsor=000699.  Since I was purchasing the onesie tutus, the tee shirt tutus, and the red, white and blue onesies, what the heck, I went ahead and purchased some of their little white jersey bibs.   For the little boys, yes, they have camo onesies and tee shirts.  So, if you need baby presents, come see me.  Since my precious great granddaughter’s, Kayla’s birthday is August 4^th, she is getting one of each.

Kayla loves Mickey Mouse.  I’ve got most, if not all, of the Disney embroidery stock designs.  Mickey now adorns the little white tutu onesie.  I fiddled around with another of the Mickey designs and realized that it wasn’t red, white and blue and also wouldn’t work on the black onesie.  I was just compelled to stitch the design out, so, I made a bib with the design on it.  I’m not sure if it will go on Etsy or if it will become part of Kayla’s birthday.  There is a cute red, white and blue Mickey Mouse design that will go on the patriotic onesie. 

This morning we couldn’t get hot water.  Yep, the water heater passed away.  Do not panic.  We have hot water next door.  George has been diligently working all day on finding the best and most perfect water heater for us.  The problem has been that it has to fit in a closet in the living room.  These days the water heaters can be pretty big.  Initially we thought about the tankless water heater.  The problem seems to be additional circuit breakers are required.  Now we are thinking about heat pump water heaters. 

Whatever we get cannot come too soon.  I’ve been washing dishes by hand all day.  Since I was washing dishes I also cooked dinner.  It was just a homemade hamburger helper type dish but it was really good and I used bell peppers, tomatoes, basil, oregano, garlic, cayenne pepper sauce, and parsley all from our garden.  That mixed with ground meat and macaroni and cheese equals a big YUM. 

While I was in the garden harvesting dinner, I pulled up one of our carrots.  Wow!  That was a huge carrot.  The carrot was so big that I measured it.  It was nine inches of beautiful carrot.  I think I see George’s famous carrot salad in our near future.

Don’t forget the flour sack towels with the little mermaids on them.  They are $15 each.  There is one for sale in our Etsy store.  More can be made.  Get ‘em while they are hot.

Have a wonderful week

BUT, JUST BEFORE HE RE-ENTERED THE
LANDER, HE MADE THE ENIGMATIC REMARK
"GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY."
MANY PEOPLE AT NASA THOUGHT IT WAS A
CASUAL REMARK CONCERNING SOME
RIVAL SOVIET COSMONAUT. HOWEVER, UPON
CHECKING, THERE WAS NO GORSKY
IN EITHER THE RUSSIAN OR AMERICAN SPACE
PROGRAMS.
OVER THE YEARS, MANY PEOPLE
QUESTIONED ARMSTRONG AS TO WHAT THE -
“GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY” STATEMENT
MEANT, BUT ARMSTRONG ALWAYS JUST SMILED.
ON JULY 5, 1995, IN TAMPA BAY,
FLORIDA , WHILE ANSWERING QUESTIONS
FOLLOWING A SPEECH, A REPORTER BROUGHT
UP THE 26-YEAR-OLD QUESTION ABOUT MR. GORSKY TO ARMSTRONG.
THIS TIME HE FINALLY RESPONDED
BECAUSE MR. GORSKY HAD DIED, SO NEIL
ARMSTRONG FELT HE COULD NOW ANSWER
THE QUESTION.
HERE IS THE ANSWER TO "WHO WAS MR. GORSKY":
IN 1938, WHEN HE WAS A KID IN A
SMALL MID-WESTERN TOWN , HE WAS
PLAYING BASEBALL WITH A FRIEND IN THE
BACKYARD.
HIS FRIEND HIT THE BALL, WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOUR'S YARD
BY THEIR BEDROOM WINDOW.
HIS NEIGHBOURS WERE MR. AND MRS.
GORSKY. AS HE LEANED DOWN TO PICK
UP THE BALL, YOUNG ARMSTRONG HEARD MRS.
GORSKY SHOUTING AT MR. GORSKY
"SEX! YOU WANT SEX?! YOU'LL GET SEX WHEN THE KID NEXT DOOR WALKS ON THE MOON!
IT BROKE THE PLACE UP.
NEIL ARMSTRONG'S FAMILY CONFIRMED
THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
