Happy Birthday America!! Happy Fourth of July!! We don’t have any plans until tonight.  We are planning to head downtown to the fireworks and get some of the foods and drinks that are offered in the “Celebrate Americafest” that happens every year on the fourth downtown here. I am excited. This means I can get me a funnel cake. I so love those things!! They only have them at least types of celebrations… no shoppes actually carry them.

I got my laptop tray that I ordered. I must say that I love it! It is perfect! I couldn’t have spent the $23 on anything better!! It works wonders, plus it allows my laptop to BREATH so it isn’t so hot on my legs. I love it!! My next online purchase is for some custom picture framing. See the family photo that we had taken in the Dells, the old time photo, I can’t seem to find a frame and matting that I like for it. *sigh* So I’ve been searching online. Here’s the photo:

I am thinking I want like an off white matting with a black frame, maybe a black frame with a gold stripe accent… thoughts? The picture is actually a little more bronze then it shows up scanned. I am so undecided. I know this is a family photo I will cherish forever, despite my middle brother missing from the picture (brat!) so I want to frame it just right.

Anyhow… I was reading the news and I ran across a story that got me thinking. Did you all hear about the 17 year old boy that was decapitated at Six Flags? I am sure the family with attempt to sue Six Flags. I mean I am heart sorry for them that they lost their child, but come on!! This boy ignored signs, climbed not ONE but TWO fences to get into a Danger Zone/Do Not Enter/Authorized Personnel Only area… Did he not for one second think it was wrong? Did he not for one second wonder WHY those signs and fences were there? I could not image being one of the people that witnessed this either!! Can you imagine!! The poor people that were at Six Flags in GA that day. I feel sorry for them all, the family, the witness, the child. I do hope that I parent my children to understand that there are reasons for signs and reasons that you shouldn’t do things! I just don’t understand!!

Alright bloggers… on that note I am off. I am heading to get some housework done!!
