Today, we made Green Bean Tater Tot Casserole, it was so good! When we use to go up to the lakes and visit our friends there....she would always have dinner for us!! And this is what she made for us. (And of course she also had salads, pies etc. ) We really miss them, they are both gone to live with the Lord. But every time we have this we both think of those beautiful...lovely people whom we loved so much for so long. Have you made this before??
As you know the Fourth of July is just around the corner and if you have pets you also know how scared they can get. This picture is of our dog Rover, taken back in 1959! Rover came to our house and we adopted him right away! My brother told me that a neighbor stopped one day, to let Dad know that Rover had been at his house...but thought it was fine for us to keep him. Mom said, he was an outside dog...and was not allowed in the house! Well, you can just imagine telling a couple boys that!! smile.. Of course they brought him in of a night. He was their sleeping partner.. (Mom and Dad's bedroom was down stairs and our rooms were upstairs. The front door led directly to the stairs going up to our bedrooms!) Well, Mom soon found out and wasn't happy about it...lol
Now back to the Fourth...someone must have shot at Rover, as when he'd hear the fireworks...he would run a couple miles away to some of our farm ground and hide under the tractor..until we'd find him! I thought..wow...how did he know the way down there...but my brother said he use to follow the tractors all over. Do you have any stories about pets and fireworks??
Tom and I are doing good tonight, we both had some things removed from my neck and his chin. We were a little sore last night. But so happy they are all gone! Only thing left, we have to have the stitches removed next week!
Hope all is well in your little corner of the world!
more as it happens here in the city...........

I love the story about sneaking the dog in, Gert. Isn't that just like a kid? We had a collie that was scared to death of gunshots- which are often heard on a farm. He would dive under the truck and come out shivering hours later. Poor thing.
Glad you got the things taken off. Hope they heal up okay and that no follow up is needed.
I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July, Gert. xo Diana
Gert, it's good to know that you have had those issues attended to. It will heal up soon. No stories to report about fireworks and pets. We used to have cats, but in those days I can't remember having problems with fireworks. I hear the fireworks nowadays on the nights of special events, even though they are banned in this state.
The bean casserole looks good!
It is good to take care of yourselves, Gert. Loved the story about how Rover spent the night in the house.:-) Yes, we have had animals that were skittish of the noise of fireworks. We would close them up in the garage beforehand.

Gert, Glad you and Tom have fond memories of your friends. We miss some of our loved ones who have passed too. My g.daugher and I could see lots of fireworks from here. Not so much fun for a 9yr.old....but she would still go wow.:):) Today I'll buy her some poppers and she'll run over them with her bike.LOL. I told her , one day she would say to her kids..once I watch fireworks with nana , 5 miles from the park, through the bedroom window.xoxo,Susie
