I hope everyone has a Safe and Happy 4th Of July Weekend. Thinking about all our guys in the military, the many we've lost and the retired ones who have already finished their military duty. I love you guys and gals!! I was very proud to raise our four children on and around AF Bases. One time in the high desert, we lived in a little town close to George Air Force Base. I was working as an ele. school teacher's aide. in Adelanto. At the end of the day, the children all went to different home rooms grouped by their buses or walking or picked up etc. They soon realized that one group contained most of the children with the highest grade averages, they started trying to figure out why? Being myself I could not help ask innocently. "Which bus do they ride?" and one person said "That's the on base bus group" Yeaaaaa! Let's hear it for the Military Brats!!!!! Now, there were lots of other AF kids living off base also, but it just happened to work out the way it did. These were the K-3 kids. By then my own kids were in 6th, 8th, 9th grades. Has anyone seen a good movie lately? They don't seem to be making them for me anymore. I guess I am completely out of the target group. Yet, I know lots of people who would go IF there was a movie with a really good story line. It was so hot on the front porch this morning I didn't stay too long. The flies are really bad right now, we usually don't have them much at all. So sitting there hot and having to keep my arms moving to keep the flies off was not very relaxing, Joe said he sprayed something around before I went out, but I also bought something HotShot for flying things, listed house flies etc. I'm going out early in the morning while our coffee perks and spray. Don't know why they have gotten so bad just lately. I've got meat loaf baking, that sounded good today. With Joe's dental troubles, I have not cooked meat lately unless it was in stews or soups etc, but wanted to cook beef today and this meatloaf will be just perfect for both of us. We have a get-together tomorrow to go to, but this will just be a lazy day around here. I hope you guys all have a good day today. Later Nova
