Like the new look? A fabulous non-blogging friend of mine spiced it up for me, and I am in their debt forever. I'd give them my soul, but I promised that to Satan years ago in exchange for some cherry flavored pixie sticks.
Hindsight and all that.
We are getting ready for our barbeque here, and you wouldn't believe it-my uncle and one of my cousins, who are based in England (he is in the U.S. Army and so they are stationed over in England for another year) are coming today. I haven't seen them in ten years (my other cousin and my aunt can't make it today, but we plan on meeting up in a few weeks time).
Finally, some family that hasn't disowned me.
God, I really hope it goes well today. I hope lots of people turn up. I hope it doesn't rain. I hope people have fun. I hope they like my homemade apple pie.
Happy Birthday, America.

It's looking pretty dark and grey here, Croxie. But we have gazebos that are going up, so a big two fingers to the weather

Looks very grown up and stylish. We are also having barbeque today at my parents' house. Big party, should be lots of fun.
Happy Independence Day!

Oh, and perhaps one more thing, maybe you should consider switching your photo from the current photo to one of the excellent snaps of you in your Ascot dress and hat. To go better with your new stylish blog design.

Hey, looks great! Yes, happy barbeque to you, and all that. I'm having trouble choosing between skins...do I want the street or the phone booth? The street or the phone booth? All too much pressure...

I'm getting use to the showers that seems to show up from nowhere...if nothing else they do tend to get things moving
Hope your day went well

Well, I immediately switched to the London Street layout. I like a somewhat more muted design for reading stuff...

I'm a creature of habit; solely based on that fact, I like the old look. But Solomon can adapt. I do like the London Streets skin.
And I LOVE that we can now
bold and
italicize. Excellent!! I always wondered how people got their stuff to be bold or italicized when they posted, and now I see it's just an html command. Cool.

What to do Helen? I like ALL of your blog looks. Any way they can come up randomly?

Oh! I get it. We can pick 'em as skins...
