thanksgiving eve day…

i have incredibly fond memories of this
day from years past.
this was a day where all your college
friends & neighbors would be coming home
and we would all pick a bar and head out
for the night…good times!

axel’s in chanhassen has been host to
many a thanksgiving eve get togethers as
well as Christmas eve gatherings.
as a matter of fact, the axel’s in chan
takes all the tips they receive on
Christmas eve day and donate them to
local charities…everyone is very
generous. the first cocktail is on the house!

yesterday i had about 3 feet of boxes show
up on my doorstep from white house. nice.
everything was perfect and amazing looking.
jane’s cards are almost all together, i’m
just waiting on one more pack and then
i’ll run them up to her. they are just
adorable! i may have to take the image of
betty, the close up of her face, and blow
that sucker up…it is such a great image!

anne, i’m so thrilled that you love your hair!
we went with darker chunks and dark underneath.
those things sometime take a little getting used
to so if she love it now..that’s a good thing!

it’s my turn today! an old friend of mine that
i haven’t seen i quite a while is coming by
today and we are going to swap color services!
everyone should add a little holiday sparkle to
their hair this year! icon smile thanksgiving eve day...

carly is coming over today, home from iowa state,

 thanksgiving eve day...

gotta run. have a super holiday!

happy 4th of july!

many of us will celebrate by having picnics,
bar-b-q’s, parades, blowing off “minnesota issue”
fireworks (we don’t get to have the real ones
here but folks will cross over boarders into
wisconsin and south dakota to bring some back.
we can have “sparklers”! ooooooooo!
cities have special permits to blow off the
good stuff so at dusk (nearly 10pm around here)
they start up and some go for nearly a half hour!
kind of makes you feel like a kid again!

my sister’s neighborhood does a kiddie parade
here’s some shots from last year…

 happy 4th of july!

 happy 4th of july!

 happy 4th of july!

met mike and peggy for dinner at wildfire
last night. kind of a last minute decision
and a good one!! yum!
then we all hooked up with ron & cindy next
door at biaggi’s afterwards and visited some
more…not too late due to gary’s early morning
tee time today (6:30!). those guys are crazy!

i’m going to head over to my sister’s in a bit
and claim a lounger for the day. i told anne that
it almost feels like a hotel over there
cuz if you don’t throw your towel on a chair
early on, ya don’t get one!! icon smile happy 4th of july!

hobie is having poo trouble again, the little
dickens! if he doesn’t produce by tomorrow
morning….off he goes to the vet.
i brought him in there yesterday…he was acting
a little punky again. his bladder was the size
of a grapefruit…good lord! well at least that’s
better now…just gotta get the poo going.
yay us!!

feels weird to have a holiday in the middle of the week!
oh well, enjoy yours!
happy 4th!
