Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into viewers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost," died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57. Other great films "Road House" and "Ghost" Patrick was a great actor and will be very much missed.

enjoying summertime

Sorry it's been awhile but summertime has kept me busy. Where to start I've been getting some extra work done to my explorer. SO far we have put in new speakers and sanded and repainted my bumpers. Now I can put new bumper stickers on them. My poor little garden has not been growing very fast so I've been going around raiding everyone Else's. I have a new toy to play with as soon as I find a book for it. I had a friend give me a home brew beer kit. Looks like I'll be making some of my own beer. I think I will hubby try it see if it kills him first. After I attempt to make the homemade beer I think I will make some homemade wine. Here's something exciting hubby said I could have a cabana boy but I have to get a job and pay for him myself. He's so funny me get a job ha ha I will find me a cabana boy that will do it for free. Looks like I'm starting to get a harem. I now have hubby, a parts guy, a mechanic, guys who give me food, a rock guy, and a guy who gives me books. Al of them do things for me for free except the parts guy charges me half price for my parts. Life is so rough right now lol. Retirement may end up being fun after all. About all I need now is my cabana boy and a male house maid and my harem will be about complete. Well time to go turn on the charm and see what get accomplished today. Enjoy the rest of your summer I know I will.

some new drinks to try

This weekend was a weekend to try new things. First me and the captain ( Captain Morgan) played around I tried some Captain Morgan and Mt. Dew it was pretty good. Then the next night was beer night I decided to give Michelob Lime Cactus honestly did not care for it. Not as much lime taste as I hope for I still have two out of the six pack left to choke down. So while was choking them down I was with hubby and the neighbor doing their beer rescue video on imports. So I decided to brave the taste tests with them yuk I hate imports. To my surprise I found one I could drink. Love the name of it "Xingu" it had no nasty taste to it really couldn't taste nothing to be honest. So the next night the neighbor said he had a some Xingu left asked if I wanted it. So he brought me 2 he had left and I decided to drink one and this one had a hint of coffee taste to it I thought. Kind of bitter coffee so I only drank one and that's when I came up with another new drink and its awesome. I got the trusty captain out again and hubby had bought some Mt.Dew Voltage I mixed Captain Morgan and the Mt.Dew Voltage and wow you have to try it if you like Mt.Dew voltage. Well I'm going to go finish recouping from weekend bye everyone.

add one more

Michael Jackson has died from cardiac arrest. Take this one how you like myself I believe this is a good thing for the children in the world.

it's been a sad week

They say things always happen in threes this week has proven this to be true. We have lost three great people this week. First there was the inventor of the "Magic Fingers Vibrating Bed" John Joseph Houghtaling. Then we lost Ed McMahan the announcer of the tonight show with Johnny Carson. Now we have lost Farrah Fawcett one of the first original "Charlie's Angels" the television series. They shall all be remembered for the influence they have had on our lives. They will all be remembered and missed greatly. Amongst all this grief there is yet another almost tragedy that has had a serious impact on some people. A truck carrying 40,000 pounds of beer overturned in Vermont and closed a highway for several hours. The truck went off the road Monday on Route 78. It rolled over and landed in a swamp on a wildlife refuge. Now before you all cry over spilled beer here's the good news. No beer spilled into the swamp. Keep your heads up the sun will shine tomorrow until then have a drink in memory of these people who have influenced our lives. But you may not want to drink in swampy areas.
