This past Friday was a great day for all of us. First off, I asked my Dale if he could ride with me to "Lowes". I know "Father's Day" is fast approaching and this time it's certainly my turn to return the favor. He's been a great "handyman" around here, so I thought he would love to find something that he doesn't have yet from Lowes and add them to his collection of tools/gadgets. It's indeed a bright idea on my part b/c it lit up his eyes upon hearing those words of mine hahaha. Inside the store, he picked his items and placed them on the push cart. We need to meet at the other end of the store, so he went ahead and moved his truck to that direction. While pushing the cart with his stuff on it, I bumped into an old acquaintance and she asked me what those "boxes" are for. I told her they're for my dear dearest as a "Father's Day" presents. All she said was....WOW! but later found herself laughing nonstop when our conversation went from boxes to doing yard projects. I have added that Dale just put up all the privacy fence between us and our neighbors from both side of our property. She then asked if I was of any help. "Not a bit on putting up the fence and actually it was our Jann who helped him out by pouring mixed cement on the posts' bases", I replied. "What did you do then?", she continues. "I sit on my split", I said. Boy, she thinks that's very very funny.

Anyway, later that afternoon we went to "Peppermill Grill" in Salem. My dear husband had to make a reservation for us. A table for four, that is! This high end eatery really means business that you need to call ahead and make a reservation due to tight customer ratings. Though we don't have to be on a gown and tux, people who came and ate there were those of privilege, elite, and those who lives in $$$$ homes by the water hahaha. I could care less even if they're driving a "Platinum Lamborghini" hahaha. Who give a darn? Jann's on her flip-flops and I'm on my "slip-on". The food wasn't that spectacular but the price was as close as those of "Red Lobster". We may never go back but at least we can say that we've tried. Thanks for reading and may you all have one frolic "Memorial Day"

Aw, that's very cool. I bet what inside those boxes are more eye popping . Jeth, your sense of humor is loveable . I love it when you said you sit on your split. That's so funny girl. Happy Memorial Day to you too.

you see you tickles me too. Happy Memeorial day and I wish you enjoy the holiday with your loving family. Where to for the celebration? Update me on that OK? Talk to you later friend....

Same to you Jeth, I wish you a full of fun Memorial Day. It's great to know you've been out last weekend and ate delicious expensive meals he he.

Jeth, I like the outfit you are wearing here. You looks awesome on it. I also love your slip on. I would love to have a pair to wear on a hot summer day.

You has the most score when it comes to restaurant trips . You are my winner too for having the most weekends spent with your hubby & kids. You really rock Jeth.

Hi my dear, gosh you're so good at giving your hubby gifts. I usually don't give my hubby anything buy my undying love! I do buy his clothes everytime I go to the mall because of course I like him to look handsome at work & he's not one for clothes shopping! Like me though, he buys what he wants for himself anyway like something for his classic car or electronic gadget. I'm not into those things so wouldn't know where to start. I forgot its almost fathers day so we usually just go out to eat. But then again, he pays. haha! So its like you, I sit on my split. I think I know what you're talking about when you say split! You guys are just like us, we like to try new restaurants and if its not that good, at least we can say we've been there and cross it off of our list! I wish we wouldn't eat out so much though because it makes me (not my hubby or kids who have fast metabolism) fat. We went to a new seafood buffett yesterday about 60 minutes out of town just cuz my Dads friend said its good! haha! I liked it buy my picky hubby didn't think it was so great. Oh about those people who drive Lamborghini's, they don't impress me. First of all, those are horribly made cars (haha) and they are probably in debt but like to show-off what they think is impressive. I think you guys look good in your slip on and flipflops. Thats like me, down to earth and confident enough to wear what I want to wear with no airs to be made.

jeth, that's the best way to give someone {you dearly love} a gift for father's day. just ask him to ride with you to his favorite place for his favorite tools .

Looks like you had fun at the restaurant. The bill isn't important but what counts most is the time you and your family spent together. You have a wonderful family. I like the bonding you have for each other.

Jeth, enjoy your summer vacation with your two intelligent kids....

I do enjoy watching your slides Jeth. Thnx for sharing and for your update. You and your family looks great.

Jeth i always enjoy your updates and slides here kahit medyo late nako palagi thanks sa memorial day picture greetings, wala naman kami ginawa ni hubby but to watch tv and dvds the whole day hehe! but we spent the memorial weekend night with with friends, some grills and fireworks anyway, thanks din pala for accepting my award hehe! but seriously, it was from my heart and you deserve it soooo much thanks din for explaining what a private fence is, i think nakakita nako nyan kina Lanie and her neighbors, natanong ko nga din sya kung ano yon. ay alam mo naman medyo newbie pa tong bicolana pal mo dito hehe! uy! grabe din ako sa rice and noodles,tama ka, you can take a girl out of her country, but you can't take the country out of the girl pero good for you, sexy pa rin
