You've no idea haha I'm interested to see how those turn out. Never heard of cinnamon pickles.<br /><br />I remember going camping, but nothing o what actually took place. I recall girls (I assume the camp councilor/assistants) thinking I was cute and having me sit on their laps on the bus. I was apparently a ladies man from the get-go ;-) Pfffft I think I recall swimming. There was no "8 mile hike, throwing knives, the usual" lol that is hilarious. Glad they got off the mountain before getting zapped >.><br /><br />I'm also really glad you mentioned your grandma! Really sucks she has to have surgery again, but she is obviously tougher than she thinks. Hope it helps a lot, I've feared having to do the same for some time now given I am at the computer like 24/7.<br /><br />To be honest, I couldn't survive without AC and I may have to steal this for next week. I sleep in the living room most nights when it's too hot since it doesn't cool all the way back to my bedroom. It's so annoying! Not heating the upstairs would drive me nuts.<br /><br />That picture of your dad is so sad :-( Lucky it wasn't me. I would have taken one where it looks like I had blown off my left arm with a tagline saying "And that's why you don't ever skip an annual 4th of July party" (this is an Arrested Development thing).<br /><br />Poor guy :-(<br /><br />Oh, no... I meant C.O.W. ZING!<br /><br />Thanks for getting my message out last week, it's very much appreciated!<br /><br />Jak at <a href="http://crytonchronicles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Cryton Chronicles</a> & <a href="http://dreamsintheshadeofink.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dreams in the Shade of Ink</a> Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069266783997777691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-89491243721964781932013-07-22T05:58:13.516-04:002013-07-22T05:58:13.516-04:00Awww, I am sorry your dad had to celebrate all by ...Awww, I am sorry your dad had to celebrate all by himself!

I miss mine terribly! And no mother ever wants to hear that her child is outside (on the top of a hill) during a thunderstorm. So glad he is safe. And I'm jealous of your garden goodies. We don't have a garden and I wish I did. But we have generous friends with gardens and today I received a couple of zucchini. Life is good. For some reason, your site won't allow me to list under that account.

I really did think it was spam, with the name all in caps, no first name, and an address I didn't know. <br /><br />My dad really knows how to pull out the guilt. If none of us call him for a while, he has been known to leave a message for me saying, "Well, no one's called, so I thought I'd call to let you know I'm still alive. I assume (your stepmom) would call if I died, but you never know." <br /><br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-40606556902842614552013-07-21T12:00:38.423-04:002013-07-21T12:00:38.423-04:00Ok while I think it's awesome that somebody se...Ok while I think it's awesome that somebody sent you a recipe for cinnamon pickles, I can't help but laugh at the hilarious facebook post you wrote wondering if it was legit :)<br />And AWWW to the photo of your dad at his person-less 4th of July party.

I never went either. Butter...Lucky me, indeed! :)<br /><br />I never went either. Buttercup's camp I could handle. They have a cabin with beds and real bathrooms. Phoenix, on the other hand, gets tents and more primitive facilities. I would love a day camp, where I can do the day activities then go home for sleep and showers.<br /><br />Humidity is dumb.<br /><br />She most certainly is.<br /><br />The pigs feed us all year, so we spend very little on meat. Chicken and fish are really the only things I buy. The veggies and other things help, but the kids eat so much, there's no way our bill is cut in half. <br /><br />Yay for COW!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-67875753965781613022013-07-21T11:22:45.073-04:002013-07-21T11:22:45.073-04:00My siblings and I would say, "How sad is that...My siblings and I would say, "How sad is that photo" while giggling through the sentence. :)<br /><br />Not that good.
