Labor Day Already

Can you believe it this weekend is Labor Day. The official end to summer is coming way too fast. But a lot will be happening this weekend. First on Saturday Stefanie, Rene, Paulina and Finn come to visit for two weeks. I'm so excited to see them. I'm going to take them on the beach, play dress up with Paulina get to know Finn since he was only a few months old the last time I saw him. I will shop with Stefanie and drink beer with Rene. Sounds like fun to me. Also this week is our annual Labor/Birthday/end of summer party on the beach. This is the day we stay until we have to turn on the headlights on the cars. So there will be some serious drinking this weekend. I hope my liver can hold out for one more good weekend:+) Then after this party weekend. on Tuesday my 180 day vacation begins yes my kids go back to school:+) "It's the most wonderful time of the year!!"

Almost over

From my garden

I can't believe how fast summer has gone. It seems like yesterday I was waiting for the hot weather. Now I'm wondering how many days of hot weather we will have yet. (I hope lots) Labor day is in two weeks and then our German family will be here for a visit, I can't wait. I've been working way to many days but I think that will soon slow down also. My garden is still producing many vegetables. BUT now we have an intruder a groundhog was sitting in my garden on his hind legs eating a tomato!! Things are going to have to change there he will either have to vacate or be relocated like Sam's squirrels. BUT the only good thing about summer coming to an end is........the start of school!!!!!!!!!! :)

Too Busy

Jack

Life has been so busy the past few weeks I have not had time to post. My man had a birthday he turned 60. Yes I said 60. I also had a birthday and so did my sister so we have been in the birthday mode. Plus I have been working a lot. The weather has been great, we are getting in lots of beach time. The hotel is pretty full for August and then in September our German family comes to visit:+) Also Katy had her baby on Jack's birthday his name is Miles and he has the most beautiful strawberry blond hair and lots of it. I hope I can go and visit soon. The boys went to Canada for a few days fishing with some friends. They came home last night all smelly and gross. Four men in a cabin for several days need I say anymore!! hope you like the pictures of Jack's birthday.

Great Holiday

Sally & Jenny
Woody as MJ

The July 4th holiday was great. The weather was hot and the beer was cold. We had the hotel full. And the beach was also full. But we got there early so it was OK. Also on the beach we had a tribute to Michael Jackson we played his music and had WOODY dressed as him people even stopped by to have their pictures taken with him. Yesterday was the memorial service for MJ and it was a tear jerker. Yes the man was strange but he was also a great entertainer. Thanks for the music Michael. The weather this week is suppose to be great so hopefully we will get to the beach a few days during the week. The next few weeks are going to be busy, this weekend is Lisa's birthday and next weekend is Jack's 60th birthday celebration!! I have a hard time thinking about Jack turning 60. Well at least he doesn't act like he is 60 and that's great:+)

NO BEER

OMG!!!!! I go to my regular beer store and they are out yes i said out of my beer. I said this can't be true when does the beer truck pull in? They said it only comes on Thursday. Thursday I said I could go into shock by then. BUT hold on yes they found a cold case for me AND when the beer truck arrives they are putting my name on 2 cases so I should be good for the weekend. I did ask them how many cases they order a week of Yungeling Lager Light(bottles) they said 15. Of course I probably drink most of it:+) But they said it is a big seller so they are increasing the order so this doesn't happen to me again. The one guy at the beer store even gave me a hug when he saw the horror on my face when they said NO BEER:+(

Driving Day

Backing out and driving away SOLO

Getting in the car

Today my sweet baby James could drive solo. He left at 8:30am to drive all over the county. He did come back for food around noon then left again. Came home around 7:00pm to shower and change out of his work clothing and left again. My baby is gone. I stood in the driveway this morning watching him drive away and could still see him driving his Little Tikes Cozy Coupe Car up and down the driveway with Matthew hanging off the side, telling me they where going off to work to be the garbage man:+)

ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!

I'm too the end of my rope with the weather. Clouds, chilly and RAIN. When will the warm weather arrive mother nature? Why are you punishing us? Yes you give us a nice day or two every now and then, BUT then a slap in the face days of unpleasant weather. Please stop it's too depressing.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

Stefanie

Today is my german daughter's birthday. I hope she had a happy day. She and the whole family will be here to visit in 61 days:+)

The Monster Mile

It's been awhile since I've posted. Things have been kicking in summer mode where there is something going on all the time. Jack and I have been working, this is the kids last week of school, and the hotel has been full. So we have been busy. Also we went to the Dover race last weekend and it was another great time. My friend Jenny and I hit the casino while the race was going on and had another great drinking session. This year we had two you bucks 24 and 26 trying to be our friends!! They must have been watching the cougar show or the graduate:+) But it was an ego bust. The weather is up and down this year it rains for a few days the nice for a few days. i hoping it soon stays nice with rain only on Mondays since Mondays suck anyway. James has been working on the weekends and saving a lot of money since he can drive alone in 15 days. He also won cadet of the year in JOTC which was great. Jack is working on his garage building a closet to store all his junk. Instead of getting rid of it he will now have it behind closed doors. Next week we have a trip planned to PA for a family wedding. Should be a good time. Fridays is dock party night now, every Friday all the boat people go down to the docks and grill and consume beverages, it's a good time.

Not Again

I hit the wrong button so now I have two headings of "not again" Yes you guessed it RAIN. It's raining again. The day started off great but around 1:00pm it started again. Also did anyone happened to see Dancing with the Stars last night? Another ugly dress for Samantha Harris this one looked like an ugly snake shed it's skin and she wore it for a dress. I worked today this are starting to pick up at the B&B. Summer is coming and folks are going on vacation. Speaking of vacation my German family will be taking a vacation to visit us this year in September I'm so excited. It will be Finn's first trip to the US to see his oma. And Miss Paulina will be a beach diva when I get done with her. So September will be a time for shopping and eating ice cream:+)

Not Again

Prom Night

Last night was the junior senior prom at Cape. Matthew only a sophomore got asked by a junior girl to go. A pretty girl named Courtney. Hope you enjoy the pictures. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to everyone. i also had my annual mother's day breakfast in bed. I got the most beautiful flowers with peach roses. AND here is the big one........the sun is still shinning no rain:+)

Goodbye Old Friend

Last picture of Jeep

Jessie's last ride

So sad

Well the jeep is gone sold to the highest bidder. Some guy named Steve who will love it as much as I did. She will get a face lift and head back to the beach:=) Were she belongs. THE BODY is in morning once again because her dog box is gone. But now she will be able to ride in air conditioning and comfort to the beach.

Rainy days and Mondays

Always get me down. For those of you who remember the singing group the Carpenters this was a song of theirs. Last week we were sweating in the heat and now cold and rainy please mother nature get in a better mood:+) I worked this past weekend at the B&B I really do like it there you get to meet people from all over. Also it's getting to the point were I can tell what the room is going to look like based on what generation the people are from. Of course my generation and older are usually pretty tidy. People in the thirty's and younger are usually slobs. Why?? Well I know why because i have two teenager's who will fall into this category. Their parents did everything for them. Now I know the exceptions are out there but they haven't checked into this B&B yet. So why do generations change do much when it comes to being tidy? I mean my great grandmother, grandmother, and mother are all tidy. When is it going to come full circle and people are going to be tidy again? Also we sold the Jeep:+) They are coming for it next week. And it's wonderful news the guy is going to fix it up and take her back to the beach. YEA That makes me so happy only problem with that is that guy may have a lot of people stopping by looking for us:+)

HOT,HOT,HOT

Wow what a change in the weather. I'm not complaining. Last week we had frost warnings and now in the 90's(32c). I love it. BUT the schools will look for any reason to get out early. Yes they are getting out at noon due to the heat!! If it's not fog delays it's heat. OMG It's beautiful outside right now the flowers and trees are all in bloom. Jack started his dream job today, maintenance man at a local golf course, a really nice one. He works 7 to 12 Mon,Wed,Fri and gets paid PLUS free golf. He is going to love it. I got a job also at a local B&B helping out with just about everything. I do like it but so far it has been all weekends and I'm not sure that is going to work for the summer. I'm missing two every important showers for family members one bridal , one baby because of the job. I know they understand but this can't happen too much. After all I'm the social queen of the summer. I'll just wait and see how it goes. This past weekend Aunt Lisa was here I love when she comes:+) James and Jack went to see a college for James a Maritime school and he really like it. So I guess my baby will be a boat captain. " Watch out pirates" Aunt Lisa and I went to the beach this past Saturday for a few hours AND I'm not going to like not having the Jeep. Now we are using the Suburban and it sucks. Load up the car, let, the air out of the tires, put the air back in the tires, unload the car. Before all I did was put the cooler on the Jeep and away we went. We'll see how long this last when Jack does it:+)

Great day

Life is good today. The weather was great AND yesterday was report card day. One son I will not even talk about except to say I hope he enjoys 10th grade again next year. But son #2 made the honor roll:+) The first time ever for sweet baby James I'm so proud of him. And this weekend he is going with his dad to look at a college in NY. At least I have one son who is looking towards the future.

A Happy Day

Safe return
Happy again

She's Back

OMG can you believe it the jeep is back!!!! The state police called Friday night to say that they recovered our baby. They found her in the same neighborhood that she has stolen from. She was in one piece A little wet because she was sitting outside in the 4 inches of rain we had last week but still looking good. So the police had her towed to the impound lot instead of calling us to pick her up. I still need to talk to Mr. LAD DICK about that. So we go there and of course it costs me money to get my car. The guy says that will be 130 dollars for the towing, Jack pulls out the checkbook and the guy says we only take cash. Excuse me no one deals in cash anymore they take plastic. So we empty our wallets and only have 120 dollars and the guy says OK I'll take it. What ever I would have like to run him over with the jeep, but we just loaded her up on a friends trailer and left. We couldn't drive her home because she has not insurance and no licence. As soon as we got home "THE BODY" jumped in and there she stayed back in her summer dog box as happy as can be. The police said they got no good finger prints off the Jeep, but we are pretty sure it was the kids who live in the neighborhood but no one can prove it YET. Hopefully they will some and then i will get my 120 dollars back:+)

Still missing

Our beach buggy is still gone and it is starting to feel bad. I feel violated how could someone steal a car? I would be too scared to do something like that. Also it has been raining and cold for three days. The kids are off school this week for spring break they have been pretty good considering the weather. When are things going to look brighter? Also "THE BODY" is not well, besides missing her dog box she has a problem with her ears they are all sore looking. She goes to the vet tonight. Please warm weather hurray up that will at least make things brighter:+(

Our Baby

Our beloved beach buggy
