Well hello to whoever might read this.
I had a blog once and did nothing with it. I gave it to my spouse. He is blogging his butt off. So I decided to try again and what a better day than Independence day. I will give you his blog address when I figure out how to do so. For the guys, it is a splendid blog.

Writing a blog is not as easy as one might think. You have to come up with a name and all kinds of stuff. Thinking up a name that will convey what you plan to discuss on a blog is not all that easy. I kind of went generic. That being said, I know what one day at a time means to a lot of folks out there. I too try and live one day at a time. For the rest of the world who rides the wave of life on a breeze, good for you if it works, carry on.

So what will this day be for me? In years past I have gone to picnics and parades. And even though I am not what I would consider old I have heard all of the fire engines and police cars screaming along than I need to ever hear again. I am at the age that if I hear a siren I check my own pulse. And let's face it, those Shriner's are not getting any younger. The thought of a 70 something year old tooling around in figure eights on an 800 lb. motorcycle does not make for a stress free day for me. God bless them for what they do, but not on a bike. As for politicians shaking hands, GO AWAY ! Another thing, who thinks up the theme for these parades? Just leave it up to the theme of the day, Independence Day.

Today is beautiful here in the mid west for July. It is in the low 70's and breezy. Just lovely. Since it is cool I have decided to make the sacrifice and clean my grill and cook something yummy on it for our dinner. Ribs or steak? I will have to ponder that. My spouse picked mulberries yesterday and I made pie crust last night so I will be making a mulberry pie when I am done blogging and cleaning the grill. If the pie turns out worth a hoot I will try and post a picture of my work.

A local church not far from our "Green Acres", has fireworks on the 4th. We drive our truck out behind the steel shed and watch them. If the mosquitoes are not running a sortie this evening, we might be able to just take the lawn chairs out.

Our son and his family live near us. I was going to go visit them today but they just moved into a new house and and have a new baby plus a three year old. I am sure they have plans today and I do not want to intrude. That might change. More on the grandkids later.

Well for my first post, I think this is about it. I have mulberries waiting and a dirty grill. I hope everyone has a wonderful Independence day and a safe one. Remember to wear eye protection and have a bucket of water for those sparklers. It's a mom thing.

Remember, take it One Day @ A Time.
