I always thought it was.<BR/><BR/>Love the front porch. It looks so inviting. I sat in a swing this weekend that was aerodynamically designed to swing by itself for 40 minutes. Talk about comfortable, but I would have been asleep before it stopped swinging.<BR/><BR/>A hair cut and an adjustment without power? Hmmm. Of course my hair looks like that right now.<BR/><BR/>We heard about that snake. I agree with you that someone was playing a bad joke on that woman.

There are way too many poisonous snakes around for me to be attracted to any of them. So far the only live snake I've seen here at home was a harmless brown one in our swimming pool, but I'm getting shivers again right now thinking about it. So please keep them out of my washing machine!

Animals can feel weird weather coming on. My dogs get restless and want to hide long before they actually hear the thunder. <BR/><BR/>My nail color is usually champagne frost, and definitely not OPI. Just Revlon. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Yikes on the huge snake in the lady's washer. How scary is that? I had a blacksnake in one of the bathrooms last summer, and I still don't know how he got in. And getting him out wasn't easy either, since I didn't want to kill him. <BR/><BR/>I love the picture of your grandfather. My grandfather was in World War I as well, and was a prisoner in Russia for 2 years. Somehow, he managed to escape. <BR/><BR/>Your porch swing looks so cozy inviting. I don't have a porch, only a couple of decks.<BR/><BR/>Despite the weird weather, I'm glad you finally got rain.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed this post, and the one below it. I'm behind visiting, but will be catching up with all my favorite bloggie friends this coming week. Have a lovely Sunday.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>RenieRenie Burghardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660484248593903002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872537960727288131.post-16256016544240138272008-07-26T00:57:00.000-04:002008-07-26T00:57:00.000-04:00Our electric was off a couple hours the other day,...Our electric was off a couple hours the other day, but they are really good about getting it repaired rather quickly.<BR/><BR/>My parents sold their hotel when I was in high school and then bought a huge 3-story house and started a hunting lodge. That house had a porch swing, and we..loved..it! I was pregnant for my first baby at the time, and I could swing there for hours. As a youngster, I had played at that home when the previous owners' three granddaughters would be there for their summer vacation. So I guess you could say I grew up with a swing. We bought a wicker swing for our sunroom in the last home we had built. There really IS something about a swing! Your swing is beautiful, and I LOVE your porch!!!! Verrrrry pretty!!!<BR/><BR/>I've never seen OPI polishes at nail salons around here. They use Sation or something like that. I'll have to check my stash of colors out next time I get them out. I like the corals for my toes and I had the French Manicure done for about 10 years and then quit last year. I was too hard on the nails when I laying ceramic tile! LOL May get them done again one day, I'm not sure. I just hate to go the nail salon, even with an appointment! Just can't sit still that long!!! LOL<BR/><BR/>Know the grands are going to love the new swing set!!! Kids really do need to play outside in the fresh air and not in front of a TV or Game Boy, unless the weather is bad. <BR/><BR/>A generator is what everyone should have. A lot of people in another city lost all their freezer foods and meats last week due to a big power outage. Hope they had some kind of insurance to cover it.<BR/><BR/>I saw that snake in the washer on our local news here, but I didn't catch that it happened in Maine! It was pretty scary!!! I would have died myself!!! I think they did it themselves just to get media attention or maybe to get rid of their own snake! Poeple do the craziest things!!! LOL<BR/><BR/>Hope to get the pie dish shipped Monday. Will let you know when I do.<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend!<BR/><BR/>(((((( HUGS ))))))Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11388218387599733572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872537960727288131.post-32438220807193395832008-07-25T23:26:00.000-04:002008-07-25T23:26:00.000-04:00Dirty snake!

It reminds me of the fun The Cowgirl and I have reading the OPI bottles when I go for a pedi (I only go rarely; don't want to sound like I'm a diva or anything. lol).<BR/><BR/>But I also love this post because your grandfather's pic reminds me of some of my own grandfather. He was born in 1895, I think, and also served in WWI. Had a very similar uniform as your grandfather.<BR/><BR/>Wish I had his pics scanned. A good activity for me to plan!Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18124894626273484839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872537960727288131.post-47139266617364045862008-07-25T21:26:00.000-04:002008-07-25T21:26:00.000-04:00Love the post.Looks like fun,but hope the weather ...Love the post.Looks like fun,but hope the weather isn't to bad.<BR/>Love the old picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872537960727288131.post-70559243365932019372008-07-25T19:37:00.000-04:002008-07-25T19:37:00.000-04:00I love your porch and swing!

How I love to sit out there for a nice chat with you :) I'm too lazy to run upstairs and see what my OPI shade is, but I always have polish on my toes (never on my nails)<BR/>Hope the storm is short lived and the swing set is able to be installed. I think they'll have more fun that hitting the house with your other swing!<BR/>It's hot here and the boys are gone for the day. Yay! it's the weekend and we can have some time to relax. Hope you have a great time too!<BR/>love you!<BR/>xoxoSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024132046092264711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1872537960727288131.post-68229060365060316812008-07-25T18:57:00.000-04:002008-07-25T18:57:00.000-04:00love love love the porch swing!!!How long was the ...love love love the porch swing!!!<BR/><BR/>How long was the power out?<BR/>I had to chuckle at cutting your hair in the semi dark...ever watched SHEAR GENIUS!

Our weather has also been weird but not as ominous as yours...it's just that we keep getting cloud bursts where the sun is shining and there's blue sky in between the clouds and yet it's pouring rain! lol Today it started out sunny but now it's clouding over and we are expecting some rain. We need a good solid rain for a few hours, things are pretty dry.<BR/><BR/>I had never heard of OPI nail polish until my daughter in law asked for some at Christmas time...I had no idea what it was until she told me. I couldn't find any in the stores around here. I love soft pink nail polish, it's what I always use:-)<BR/><BR/>You do realize that the next time I have to do laundry, I will be scared of opening up my washing machine?? lol Geesh, imagine finding a 6 foot snake in there!! As you said, though, makes you wonder how it got in there if the plumber says there's no way a snake that big could have come up the pipes.<BR/><BR/>What a wonderful picture of your grandfather. I love old pictures like that and hearing the stories behind them.<BR/><BR/>I love your swing...wish I could go sit on it with you while we share a glass of cold ice tea and chat:-) I have a swing on my back patio and I love spending time on it, it's so relaxing. <BR/><BR/>Hope your weekend is a terrific one my friend!

The one i have had waiting for me to construct for oh, 9 years or so..... <BR/><BR/>I have always loved American houses with their porches and swings. They would look rather odd here though!

I have no desire to draw attention to my ugly nails, either hand or feet!<BR/><BR/>I finally found a swing the rigtht size to go over lout ridiculously huge window well in front of the house - I love to sit there with the kids, too, but it's not long enough for my 5'10" body to take a nap. <BR/><BR/>We had a terrible tornado only 15 miles away from us in early Junje - very eerie and bazaar. It destroyed our youth leader's house.

I am so ready for fall!!<BR/><BR/>Hmm, I have several OPI favs! My favorite is a red, but I can't think of the name of it at the moment. I also like, "I Don't Do Dishes", and "I'm A Princess, You're Not".<BR/><BR/>I love swings and would also recommend that everyone have one!
