Good Bye To Summer

I can't believe this is the last weekend of the summer.....decided to take off Thursday and Friday and make it a long holiday. Thursday I went to my girlfriends house in Bellmore and spent a great afternoon with the other women who became a grandma with me that wonderful summer of 2005!!!! The babies are now 4 years old and so adorable......My daughter could not make it because she is so busy with her blog "I'm Not Obsessed.com" so my grandchildren did not come but I had a wonderful time anyway...we had cheese and crackers.....fresh vegtables and dip....champagne ...... pizza ,salad and for dessert we had fruit..... red velvet cupcakes.and italian pastries.......the kids played in the pool and later my neighbor's daughter came out and drove us home (my friends' husband had drove us out).I am so happy I went!!!......My husband was back from upstate (safe and sound) when I got home that night.....so I slept downstairs.

Friday morning was just as lovely as yesterday..God is just so good......I am so happy with the great weather we are having!!!! My husband could not get up....he was just worn out from his stay at the trailer......I had to babysit the babies that night but I decided I'd spend the day with them too.....and sleep over so I packed a bag and left.....

When I got there my granddaughter announced to her brother that today is our lucky day.....grandma is here.....with gum..... popcorn......bubbles......red velevet cupcakes (I bought extra) and oh yeah....the best....I let them watch all the TV they want!!!!! But first we went into the backyard in pajamas and filled the little pool and water table and began the fun!!!! It was so beautiful back there......I just love watching them playing, running around and hearing them giggle and laugh .....I think I scream more than them......when they splash me!!! My grandson is just staring to talk .....so I don't really know what he is saying....but he always ends his sentence with "Right, Grandma?" and I just nod my head....yes you are right!!!!

I got home Saturday and found my husband having a hero and potato salad and a cream soda....after he finished he fell asleep on the couch for 3 hours and I walked the dog and enjoyed the lovely day....what a weekend!!!! The weather is just perfect.........Later he decided to sit on the stoop and drink a few beers and have a smoke........the lawyer told me that the papers will be served very soon.........seems like forever....but I'm hoping it happens after the holiday....... he went to the car trunk for his beer in the cooler (left over from upstate) and then went upstairs to finish the beer he just bought that was in the fridge......

Today promises to be just as lovely as the rest of the week was......I am going to my cousins in New Hyde Park for a BBQ.......I have a pork loin I'm bring and I'm heading for Martha's Bakery for some more of them Red Velvet Cupcakes!!!!!!

I am believing that Autumn will be just as lovely .......so enjoy the last weekend of summer ....with family and friends....good company, food.....laugh out loud and have a great time........remember, you have all day tomorrow to rest up.
