Scattered thoughts and postings

First off I hate grocery shopping, I just loathe going. I hate thinking of what to buy to make for dinner and then wasting money on buying it...Ugh I can't be the only woman who dreads the grocery aisle.

My sister in law Amie came up for the 4th. I adore her, she is just like one of my sister's. They have been in living in Vegas for the past five years. Next month they are moving to Pennsylvania. I am gonna miss her but I am happy for her. Before she headed back east she wanted to check out Clarkston. We headed up there on Saturday for a visit. Her kids had so much fun, I think I take for granted the freedom that is still readily available in a small town. Ella was in girl heaven, Megan made her bows, she was thrilled. We did a little horse riding and just sat around and enjoyed the serenity.

Last night Salem and I went to visit my friend Stacey. Stacey's house is better than the zoo. Her snake had babies and Salem couldn't wait to get her hands on them. We learned that boa's don't lay eggs they have live births. So Stacey is the proud owner of 15 baby boas. Yikes!!

This is the daddy boa...Yes I kept my distance.

Salem got to pet a bullfrog, and feed the sugar gliders.


Thank goodness we have Stacey to add a little spice to our sometimes boring life.

TWO WORDS AND I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, GROCERY SMARTS. I SOLVES LOTS OF PROBLEMS, FIRST MONEY, SECOND IT GIVES ME IDEAS BY THAT IT ON SALE. I LOOK FORWARD TO WEDNESDAY BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN GO AGAIN... SOOOO NOT LIKE ME.
Ella Ella Ella is the cutest thing I have ever seen, I wanted to keep her. I kept asking if I could squeeze her and she would walk over and go sure and lean in for a squeeze.
Snakes, bullfrogs, whoa this might be pushing the pet love for me. YIKES.

Ummm...gross...why why why would you want to have a snake that has LIVE births let alone hold one of those nasty little things...I would have been dry heaving...
