Happy Birthday to me

(singing) Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to me,eee. Happy Birthday to me.
Today is my birthday, if you did not guess that already. I am 19 years old today.

More Sewing Progects

This dress was just thrown together as a quick thing, a bit of an experiment, but it came out ok. The jacket was a separate pattern. It goes well with just about anything an is just right to keep the sun of my shoulders.

Finished Sewing Progects

4th of July shirt

This is my 4th of July shirt that I made

This is our newest plant. It is a palm that came from Dads office. It is in pretty sad shape. It did not get enough light in the office. "He" has been dubbed Pontius "the palm" Pilate.

We found that the larger of the pots on our porch have been trapping water under them, and starting to rot out the wood. So we (by we I mean Mom did all the work) had to rearrange them and put racks under them to lift them off the wood. It has also made it much easer to water them and looks much nicer.

An empty nest

The birds on our porch have flown, all of them. This is a picture of the last baby getting ready to fly off. Mommy and Daddy bird have not been back for a week or so, so I think that they have finished having babies for this year. We will have to get up there and clean out the nest sometime.

The 4th of July

Happy fourth of July. Only 10 days left until my birthday.
I had to work today. I got up a 4:50am to get to work by 6:00am. (I normally start work at 8:00) There was a parade of golf carts around 9:00 (people drive golf carts in Peachtree city Ga like small cars. There are special trails for them and you can drive them alone with only a permit. So parents use them to send their kids out on errands) with the golf carts all decked out in red, white and blue. After that things got crazy in the store. We where dashing about trying to keep the tables stocked.
The good news is that I got to go home at 2:00pm. With plenty of time to get ready to make a nice dinner for the 4th.
Mom and Naomi are in Utah for my aunts wedding today. So its just Dad, Jon-Paul and me. I am going to make a cake and will get Jon-Paul to grill some burgers.
