that song in my head.....

This morning I was up early. Earlier than usual at least, so I decided to clean the stove which I had been putting off (Ican't imagine why).

I know - exciting right?
Not really but this,
this makes it exciting!

Mr Clean. My new BFF.
Well, at least when I am cleaning the stove.

This little thing really is magic. I am sure it is somebodys leftover mattress topper cut into little pieces, but it works. It really, REALLY works and that is all that matters when you are cleaning the stove at 7 in the morning.

Which brings me to that song playing in my head -

Oh, oh, oh it's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so.....

who doesn't love a parade?

Small hokie neighborhood advantage: not having to leave your front porch for a parade!

Every year on the 4th of July our neighborhood homwowners association puts on a parade. Anyone can participate. Anyone that is, who wants to drive at 1 mph for about two hours throughout the neighborhood. Last year some little kid even rode his bike (you know he pestered his mom until she gave in) - his dad ran along side him the whole way! Bless his heart!!! Everyone washes their car, truck, boat, classic or not, and does it up with decorations. People look and vote, awards are passed out. Neighbors line up lawn chairs along the street and wave flags. After all the honking, hooting, hollering, candy & necklace throwing there is a bar-b-que down at the pond with music, hot dogs & watermelon.

Gotta love a small town!
