• Our Independence Weekend

   7/3 - we saw 3 more houses.  one has potential and kids DS's age next door to play with but DH and I will have to either play the "honey mover your car" game or one has to park on the street.  so like I said potential.

   

  7/4 - DS and I made a craft and read a book

  

   

  then DS went swimming with my MIL and after that spent some time with a friend and that evening we welcomed Shabbat and  watched a movie.  No it wasn't the Bee Movie but I just wanted to say I really think that movie is funny.  And then we just watched the neighborhood fireworks

  7/6 -  up early to go to a local garden since we had tickets to get in with.

   

  

  

  

  here's a garden my dad liked

  

  here's the water garden

  

  which someone pointed out is perfect for some uncool guests

  

  And after reading Burgess' Bird Book for Year 1 we have really been noticing the fowl.

  

   

  and there was this set of steps that led down to the water

  

  

  Now we get to DS's fave

  

  

  After the garden we stopped at a Cafe

  

  That late afternoon til about 11:30pm we were with our HavDalah friends for oneg and Torah study.

   

  7/6 - up early again so we could go to a local amusement park and those who know me and where I am probably know which one I'm talking about...but shhh just between us - k?!!  DS has been there before but was only able to ride kiddie rides and this year was tall enough for big rides.   So we rode a non-upside down roller coaster and DS lost it .... back to kiddie land we went.  I did take him on another gentle adult ride and he lost it again so he did get several turns on some of his fave kiddie rides ... at least he had fun.  We stayed there about 5 hours and the rest of our party had ridden water rides and felt icky, hot and tired so we left...although DS could have stayed all day in kiddie land.  I didn't take my camera because I didn't know if we might ride a water ride, although I think my mom has photos from DS's first time there 2 years ago since back then she stayed in kiddie land while I rode every thrill ride with my 11 year old cousin.  and I do mean every ride, even ones I don't typically ride just so he didn't have to ride alone.  I had wondered if DS would either love adult rides and be done with kiddie land or if he'd be frightened and never want to ride adult rides....so I just played up the kid rides and how cool they were and how they were practice runs for the big rides.

  After we got home we went swimming at my dad's apartment pool.  DS dives/flips into the deep end now and swims to the other side.  No swim lessons required, just exposure to a pool since he was 22 months old.

  After we got home from that DS complained he was bored but my friend called and needed some cheering up so while I was talking to her DS fell asleep for the night.

   

  7/7 - back to work and started Year 1.5 using Beyond by HOD and I reserve the right to edit as I read aloud ...

  in fact I did today, the people in the story were having ham and eggs for breakfast .. I just said meat and kept on reading.   At some point I will explain that people who claim(ed) to be "strong in the Lord" failed to incorporate even the simplest of guidelines in the Bible.  Many times due to having been taught that the OT has been done away with ....  it's a shame that some would lead others astray.

  Also over the weekend there was some green propaganda show on tv about what would happen to earth if people disappeared ... it shows nuclear power plants exploding when electricity stops working and that made me wonder why that wasn't a scenario in Last Light ...  also I get so sick of hearing about our carbon output because hello back when we decided on a fuel of choice for automobiles some one was pleased to be getting all that moolah but now we have to feel bad for driving?  oh and you green hollywood types um if I go totally green I wouldn't use electricity and therefore won't be watching your movies ... uh did you think about that?

   

  who else sees the setup we've all been made to take part of?  with the green stuff and the price of everything ... fish in a bowl or gerbils in a cage ... who's the control group?  experiments with real people .... arg

  go here and look for the comment titled Hey Registered Voter of PA

  here's what it says I just gave the above for a reference

  Not sure why your blaming Republicans after all it was Al Gore (the earth warrior),

  who said in his book Earth in the Balance that he hoped for $5 a gallon gas so that people would stop buying it. Well it appears that democrats are now getting their wish.

  Additionaly the high fuel prices have caused several large airline and auto industry coportations to either go bankrupt and close shop or down size with massive layoffs, this should also make democrats happy as according to them all big business is bad. So with businesses laying people off and getting smaller democats should be rejoicing in their victories against the big businesses.

  Another goodie

  ok some of you people are really stupid. you obviously don't know anything about history or the way the economy works. do you realize that the economy is actually better under bush even though gas in and of itself is higher. Do you moron's not realize the way that goverment works? the way the economy is today is the result of Bill Clinton. The only direct result we have seen from Bush is this years tax incentive checks. The economy during Clinton was the result of George Bush Sr. Grow up and look at history.
