Blackberry Bonanza!



We have found a lot of blackberry bushes. Katrina and Dave just left back to Savannah so now we are really alone. We are spending the day at their house doing aprox 8 loads of laundry... a bit backed up. We still have to make the final jump to buying a real washer and dryer. we picked it out but its hard to spend the dough.. Those nice washers only use 15 gallons of water vs. around 45 for the normal ones. so that and price, its a toss up. We have one person that remembers us now. He is the guy that orginally helped us log onto the internet. i brought him up only because he just walked into the nice coffee shop. My car plates are expired... and being the blonde that i am i threw out the registration card. i thought you only needed to keep the sticker, i didnt know that you had to keep the paperwork too. dummy. Dave still has not drove the jeep but plans to at some point. The neighbors have a cat named Monkey. We didnt know that. Dave stachel said one day "to keep an eye out for Monkey" and we just looked at him blankly for a minute...he explained its a black cat. We saw a very good firework show on the 1st. All set to patriotic music. There were a ton of people. For the 4th we plan on hanging out at the house and hope the neighbors in the valley set off some nice fireworks. Have a nice & safe holiday!

What were the fireworks for on the 1st? Do they do them that early? I bet you'll be able to see some fireworks from your deck. We went to Oak Brook tonight to watch fireworks and it started to rain just as it ended. I bet the dogs are loving the blackberries.
