At 4pm sharp, we will begin the official screening of the long awaited western classic, True Grit. Everyone is welcome but you must come dressed in the regalia of the time. Get out your best western duds, saddle up the horse and ride on over. We’re having a hitching post installed in the front yard so all of you can tie up your mounts. Beef brisket, baked beans and biscuits (known as corn doggers in the movie) will be served. I’m doubly excited as my wife makes one fine looking saloon girl!
Today the misses works at 7:15am so we set the alarm for 5. I of course was up at 4 and then woke her at 5. She’s putting the finishing touches on her good looks right now and then we’ll get breakfast going. We splurged for some king crab legs from Costco yesterday as they were on sale and it looks like we’ll get about 4 or 5 meals out of $40 worth, not too bad. So, crab omelette’s for breakfast. The kids of course will want french toast or pancakes. It was hot yesterday, somewhere in the mid 90’s, thankfully we have air conditioning. Even Mojo slept inside last night due to the heat. Yesterday we took both dogs up to Grandma’s and they both jumped right in her pond for a swim. The misses pointed out this morning that it was Mojo’s first swim of his life! When we got them home we had to then shampoo both of them in the front yard to get the pond water off of them.
The boys set up a lemonade stand in the front yard and the littlest one took a large rectangular sign and was dancing for passing cars much like the kids you see on every corner advertising for businesses these days, he was pretty cute. He kept coming in asking for a quarter to buy himself a glass as his older brother didn’t want to let him have one for no charge. Obviously I corrected the older one right away and let him know that the little guy, who was doing all the work in the heat, could have all the lemonade he wants. With not a lot of action around 2 in the afternoon, the boys grabbed their la crosse sticks and headed down to the neighbors to play. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful and we all hit the hay around 8:30.
I have a meeting at 9:30 so Grandma has graciously agreed to watch the kids for an hour while I’m gone. I’ll then let them play outside while I work in the basement. Mom will get off at 3pm so she’ll be home mid-afternoon. There’s a ton of haze in the air from the huge fires in Arizona. You can barely see downtown or the mountains from all the smoke that’s drifted up from the southwest. Hope it clears out soon.
Ok I’ve tried to resist but can no longer abstain. Did you see Congressman Anthony Weiner on TV yesterday finally come clean and admit to basically sending porn of himself to multiple women, while married, over the past few years! Unbelievable, not that he did this, but that he lied about it so blatantly for the past 10 days! On top of that, he says he won’t resign. I mean come on, give me a break. How can this man stay in office, and his name is Weiner! In my book if you lie about one thing it makes me think about what else you’re lying about. Ok, enough politics for the day, I don’t want to get myself distracted with True Grit out today.
So have a great day, stay safe and keep your powder dry, God Bless
