Actually in spite of the fact that yesterday I went to bed most of the day, felt about as crummy as I have felt in a long time. I even missed sitting in front of the TV to watch the Indy 500. Somehow hearing the noise and watching those cars drive around in circles just wasn't going to work for me yesterday. I did go out back though and had cut a huge bouquet of Peonies and a few Irises to take to the arsenal for my husband's grave, but was too sick to go. They remain on a table in my sunroom at the moment. It is once again in the 90"s and very humid so even when the crowd's from the celebration go home I am not sure I will get the flowers over there this weekend. He is not there anyway, But I do like it to look like someone still misses him a whole lot, and also appreciates his service to our country; especially on a day like today. His grave right now however has the flag that all of th veterans have. They all look beautiful, and the cemetary there is always well cared for. In my heart I know I celebrate and appreciate his service on this day whether or not I can get the flowers there to say so.
Then this morning I finished fixing up the sunroom so I can enjoy watching the garden area and all the critters who frequent my back yard this itme of year.
I realized I needed to make a post to my BLOG...I have noticed I actually have some viewers from other places in this world...that is so neat. I still have a little trouble though getting my friends to visit the BLOG, somehow they just don't think they can do that. It's too technical or something, but as I have said before , I am definitely working on this. And of course since I'm not near as cute as Elia, the motivation isn't at all the same. LOL (((friends)))) Ummm that is a cyber hug for the technically challenged :-)
I also went to the "Dashboard" of my Blogger account and decided to learn how to email my new posts directly there. now if this works well before I go to AZ for Elia's birthday, why you all (that's redneck talk for people down south) ...like my son.... anyway You all just might actualy even get a BLOG post while I am there celebrating.
Because my curiosity is killing me I also want to see if there is any chance of getting a picture to the BLOG directly from and email post like this so let's see what happens. I think I will send a neat picture from all the eagle watching I also enjoy online. If it comes out it will be the eagles in Virginia who are working on "fledging" this weekend. They are beautiful, hot and hungry. They flap their wings like crazy but don't quite have the courage yet to leave that nest. The parents stop by a couple of times a day now with 1 fish for all 3 to share. the idea is to sort of starve them out of the nest. The parents circle them with food lots during the day, trying to lure them away. Let's see if I can get a picture posted of them. If you get the picture, this is one of the few times when Mom has dropped by with a fish.

I am sorry that you weren't feeling well. I hope you are better. It has been very hot lately.
That is great that your husband was a veteran. I am sure you are very proud.
I have the same problem that my friends and family are not very interested in reading my blog. That is O.K. though it is mostly for me anyway.
I bet your hubby knows those flowers on the table were for him. You poor thing. Hope you are up and running again! :0) Angel

Sorry to learn about your husband. We appreciate his service too.
Congrats on your new computer.
I think i am one of the technically challenged, but i finally did figure out the blog thing. Well enogh to post, not create...I am so used to my computer correcting spelling that i don't always capitalize or correct because i expect my computer to do it. How quickly we get so lazy, ok, I get so lazy. Anyway, I would love to see a blog while you are gone and pictures! I love the little swim suit picture. Raina wanted one of those skirts...I didn't get her one but she would love it. I will try to get back here more often.
