Is this a great summer or what!?!
On Independence Day, I got to see two parades; one at 10 Am and the other at 5:30 PM. What fun!
And then, last weekend, I went to a rodeo on Saturday and was in a parade (with my grocery store float) on Sunday afternoon. When I got home on Sunday, my son Jack carved some time out of his busy schedule to go horseback riding with me.
Could it have been any better?!
Well, yes.
Earlier in the week, I had ordered a couple of items online and was looking for them to arrive on Friday. I wasn’t very surprised to see the UPS man pull into my driveway on Monday.
Well, guess what.
Give up?
He brought me my very own copy of Montana Rose by Mary Connealy along with a note that it was sent to me by request of the author. What a wonderful surprise! Mary is a lifelong friend of mine and this is her 4th book to be published. You can learn more about her by going here or here.
The perfect Midwest summer weekend.
Yes, I took pictures. Maybe I’ll get them posted tomorrow.
Greetings!
Welcome to Janell's One Square Mile. Title inspired by the great line from 'The Wizard of Oz': "Next time I decide to go looking for my heart's desire, I won't go any further than my own back yard." However, when Joe posts here, it's more like "One Round Planet." Joe travels all over the world and contibutes pictures and descriptions of the places he's been. Joe and Janell are both Conservatives and occasionally like to start arguments - I mean initiate dialogue - with our Liberal readers.

Glad that you are having a great summer and having some fun. Missed you at the Carson Picnic!
You've not been blogging much, and neither have I.
Summer time is busy time.
Your July 4th sounds like it was great!
Parades and horse back riding with your son... that is just terrific!
I hope your summer is going well and that you are enjoying lots of good times with family and friends.
I bet you've already read that book. I hope it was a goodie.
