July Fourth

 

We are having a quiet Fourth of July…

I’ve been doing laundry and going through pictures on the laptop…

Updated my photo blog Not Just Roses…

Hubby relaxed watching TV…

Son2 is off with friends now to hang out and watch fireworks…

Son3 is waiting for it to get dark… We will be able to see the fireworks at the waterpark from our driveway… and we have some leftover fireworks from last year to shoot off…

Pictures of our souvenirs from Las Vegas from the M&M store and the Coca Cola store…

Below are some pictures hubby  took of us while in Vegas…

Our first night there after dinner at the buffet…

Click, Click, Click… son2 and I were already snapping pictures…

Me, son2 and son3 in front of New York, New York…

The next day at the Rainforest Café…

Me in front of a fountain…

Son3, very hot, from all the walking…

I loved the garden theme and lighthouse at this hotel…

Me and the boys at Hoover Dam…

We are watching Captain America…

I thought it was appropriate for the Fourth July…

We are full of hot dogs, turkey burgers, potato salad, baked beans and french fries…

But still room for orange parfait…

 

 

Joyce Meyer Ministries

You don't have to compare or compete with anyone or anything else, and that, my friends, is true freedom.

Freedom is not letting your yesterday affect your today. What you were is not what you are!

What I can do, I do with God's help; what I cannot do I turn over to Him so He can work. This leaves me free to enjoy my life.

You were created by the Hand of God on purpose. You are an unrepeatable miracle!

 

Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...

simple life brings happiness.

When you fill your life with noise from TVs, chores from to-do lists, arguments from newspapers, where will you find space for love, relationships, faith and God? Cherish the simple things in life. Put the rest back on the shelf.

We are back… From VEGAS!

We left Tuesday the 25th at 7:20am, stopping at Prim and Goodsprings so son2 could see the towns that his video game uses, arrived at our hotel, The Excalibur at 3:30pm, checked in, explored the hotel area, had dinner at the buffet and explored the surrounding strip until about 10pm…

Wednesday we spent the entire day on the strip… So much to see… We walked from Excalibur all the way to the Trump tower and back… dinner at the Luxor buffet… and then seeing the strip at night…

Thursday we checked out from the hotel and visited the other side of the strip seeing The Tropicana and Mandalay Bay, pictures with the Welcome to Las Vegas sign and then on the road again to visit the Hoover Dam… It was spectacular, like a mini grand canyon… and then homeward bound arriving at 10:20pm…

I took over 400 pictures and son2 took over a thousand with his new camera… So hopefully soon I will be ready to share some pictures…

Friday was hubby’s 55th birthday…

 

 

 

We went grocery shopping since we had been gone all week and got Chinese food for hubby’s choice of birthday dinner…

Son2 went swimming with his friends and was back in time for dinner and cake…

Hubby made himself a chocolate pudding cake and we watched Jack the Giant Slayer…

Saturday we went to the Black Bear Diner since we ran out of time to go to Denny’s while in Vegas… Son1 came too to tell hubby Happy Birthday and hear about our trip… The portions were huge and so good… I had the Hawaiian Omelet with red potatoes… Son2 had corned beef hash with eggs, hubby and son3 had pancakes and son1 had a club sandwich with French fries…

Saturday afternoon hubby and I wandered around Wal-Mart…

Son2 went to hang out with friends and ended up spending the night with them…

We had leftover Chinese and watched Snow White and the Huntsman…

Today Hubby and I finally feel a bit more rested from all our vacationing…

Got some things done around the house today…

Hubby finished fixing the new hose post for the front yard… used his new drill from his birthday…

More leftover Chinese food and chocolate pudding cake and watching Under the Dome…

Back to Work tomorrow and hubby has Jury Duty…

Pay more attention to God and what He says than what the world says

When you don't know what to do next: just believe. (John 11:40)

 

Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...

today you can help a thousand people see God's light.

Feel God's light shining within you and take a step to inspire someone else to shine. As you share this vision today with just one soul, that reaches ten lives that touch a thousand.
