The picture in the header was taken before church and this one was taken after. The wind started picking up after church and it was very hot, but it was a beautiful day! After that we headed to the store. Our goal? To get salt for the water softner. What did we leave with? A 32" tv, a new Wii game, and shampoo. Not exactly what we had planned on, but WAY more fun!! Last night Pete's beloved 19" tv of 15 yrs started losing the ability to make sound. It's been his tv since his birthday in 1995 and has served us well for all these years. But, with its sporatic loss of sound and the desire to upgrade, Pete decided it was time to get a new one.
Not exactly an attractive piece in our bedroom, but it served us well for many, many years.
In its place is this new 32" high-def, wide screen. And, yes, that's Star Wars playing on it. Why would you be surprised by that? ;-) Next on my to-do list? Paint all the furniture in here and get a nice accent carpet. Looks like that might be happening while Pete's in China in the coming weeks. Maybe then finally our bedroom will be on its way to looking finished. You'll notice that there are no pictures of fireworks on here. Sadly, the family that does a FANTASTIC fireworks display every year didn't have it this weekend. Not sure why. But, as Livie told me, she is .."heartbroken.". We're all very disappointed that we didn't get to see fireworks this year. We may get some tomorrow just for the kids, since Pete has the day off. I mean, what's the 4th without fireworks? Hope everyone else had a wonderful 4th!! God Bless America!

Boys are so funny about their TVs ... we had one in our office that Ted bought when he was 10 years old. He didn't want to get rid of it b/c it still "worked" ... he always ignored the fact that you could only go UP on the channels, not down, and that the volume button was broken on the remote. Anyway, he finally gave it up a couple of months ago ... we need all the space we can get! Oh, and happy Independence Day!
