Practical Magic

Tonight on ABC is the movie Practical Magic. Starts right now at 9:00. This movie was filmed RIGHT HERE! The town scenes they show are our little town of Coupeville, and the house is on the next Island over on San Juan Island. My Son in Law worked as Security on the set while they were filming it. It is a hokey movie, but the town scenes are real. and the townspeople were used as extras in it. NO not Phyllis and I we Had to work!

The weather has turned really Fallish! The wind is from the Noth and has a nasty bite to it. THe sun is still hot, but it is cool in the wind. The fourth of July must be coming!! It is always nasty on the forth. We go down to the beach and watch the rest of the Cove light off their fireworks. They shoot them over the water, and the wind usually blows them right back at us. It is really cool to be down there though...100's of people all doing their thing with the fireworks, and the town across the water shooting off theirs.

I grilled ribs today. cooked them for 3 hours them grilled them with bbq sauce. Had grilled asparagas, and corn on the cob. THe ribs were terrible. they were tough, and chewy, even if they did taste good. Sadie is having a ball with the rib bones though. i put them in the freezer and will dole them out one at a time. If I gave them all to her, I would have holes all through the garden. (As if the rats haven't dug enough)

I have new neighbors right next door, and Sadie is barking at everything they do. She does not know them yet, so the baby crying makes her bark, which makes the baby cry which maeks her bark...this is gonna be fun!!! NOT! I wish I could get her to stop barking on command and come when she is called. THen I could handle the rest. She is so good with pottie. She will be a year old in three weeks... this year went so fast!!!

Donna spent over three hours on line looking at dog pictures. She knows she cant get a puppy right now, but at least she is healing. She will end up with another stray from some box in front of Safeway, or a foundling at the pound. I know her. It will be an odd looking thing with a cute face. That is how she picked her Husband!....Shame! Did I say that?
