Friday....

Another busy Friday.....Today was the last full day of school for my kids....they go back just to pick up their report cards on Tuesday.....Derek and Emily got a small plant for each of their teachers for having such a great year.......

Derek and Emily both got awards for outstanding spelling....Emily got a citizenship award and also a $10 gift certificate to Quinns corner for perfect attendance....Way to go kids!!!!

I cooked out on the grill tonight...we had hotdogs, hamburgers, ranch and bacon suddenly salad, and grilled salad...it was so good!!

Grilled Salad

For the grilled salad I took romaine lettuce and cut it in half lengthways

lay them out flat side up

Then I drizzled light Italian dressing on it and homemade garlic butter sauce

Next I put it on the grill seasoning side down and let it wilt for a few minutes

Finally I topped it with grilled veggies and salt and pepper! It was a delicious

twist to a typical salad! YUM-O

The ice cream man came by today and everyone enjoyed a cold treat Mom, Sheri, and I went for a nice walk.(2.4 miles to be exact) John worked on a 4-wheeler Emily took a few pics outside....here's one of Derek playing in the outhouse...and a few of the cats.... Unfortunately later in the evening, My cat Smokey, ran out in the road and was hit by a car.....He was the best cat in the whole world and I'm really going to miss him!!!
