she was equipped with her jacket and balloons. We proceeded behind the ambulance (It was kind of hot, so I thought I should stay close) down the parade route to the park. When it was time to judge the pets, the announcer decided to point to each animal with a hot dog in hand. Pip decided that this was obviously her cue to start her show so she began to dance on her hind legs. The crowd loved it and then she was interrupted by the ringing of a cellphone. She decided that she was not only supposed to dance, but if she wanted to win this thing that she must sing as well. She sang a song and the crowd laughed and clapped so she sang some more. The mob of patriots declared her their winner and she was awarded her prize. In one hand the announcer still had his untouched hot dog and in the other was a silly dog toy. She decided that
her prize of choice was in fact, the hot dog. The crowd roared and applauded her great decision. She smiled at them and was very proud. After she was finished with her hot dog we walked home where her Dad was grilling steak. When we were done eating, Pip told him that since it is independence day that she is entitled to a small piece of steak. He agreed and gave her a small piece (this is a rare occasion, she never gets anything except dog food). This made her happy, but she told him that she would not be completely content until he gave her the bone. After all, he was only going to throw it away. He could not say no, so he gave her the bone. She has been chewing on it ever since. It was the best decision that he could have made. Pip would like you all to know that the Fourth of July is by far, the best Holiday of the year. After discovering how well the bone works at enertaining her, we have to agree.
The neighboorhood itself is in Montgomery on Lake Conroe. It is a lot like the parents neighborhood except it has the lake and yacht club and you do not have to be an "active adult" to live there. It made me very happy to know that we can move into a "resort style" community before we 
retire. I really didn't want to wait that long since I am uninsurable until I hit Medicare. Of course Matt will be an "active adult" before myself, so I could've cheated since I'm married to him. We ate at the yacht club restaurant when we were there and the food was very scrumptious. I'm also very excited about the day spa and fitness center. Oh, and the best part...a 24-hour guard so no more attempted break-ins!!! I am going to help Matt make his sales telephone calls to set-up appointments and the law states that an appointment setter must be paid a salary that is not reflective of his sales, so he is going to pay me in spa treatments. We are also hoping that Brian can help us get a good deal on a boat. We'll have to wait a couple of months on that, though. I have started packing and I have done 14 boxes which is very miniscule to the number of boxes that we will actually have. The 
good news is that we are going to be able to get a lot of new furniture when we move, so we can donate or sell a lot of the heavy stuff. Pick-up only of course. I will keep you updated on the progess of our current house selling. Hopefully it will actually sell soon so all of these pictures are of the house and neighborhood that we are moving into and not of the 
house and neighboorhood that we thought we were moving into. Matt says that I should not tell everyone before our house actually sells. I hope that I do better when we are pregnant, since your not supposed to tell anyone until you are through your first trimester. Maybe I'll just tell Anne so she can start on blankets and Christmas stockings and let it burn her up for awhile since she is good at keeping quiet. That's a fun game! I hope everyone has a great week! 
Here's a couple more:
That is the motto of my company, Evercare. On Thursday we not only "talked the talk" but "walked the walk" and gave caring help to someone in need. A 86 year old widow was living in a dilapetated home in East Houston. She has no children or others to help her with home repairs. Our company partnered with the AARP and went out to her house to see what we could do. 
out and said, "I feel like I am Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, someone has picked up my house, moved it, and now I've woken up in a magical place where everything is perfect." It is by far still not perfect, but nothing can replace the feeling you get when you help someone. Anyway, just thought I would share.
Gotta get back to work, more to come later!
Yum! We got to the arean and were pleasantly suprised that they don't charge for parking and even more suprised when we saw how many Aggies showed up for the game. I seats were pretty great, we could see everything. The Oklahoma fans like to boo...the officials and our players...and part of the time they had good reason. We were a little nervous because the Ags were not playing their best and we were behind for a majority of the game. But, Acie Law stepped up in the last few minutes, Oklahoma fought the Law but the Law won. Along with the rest of the Ags...56 to 49. Very exciting game. Acie got boo'd harshly at the end of the game, but us along with the many other fans waited till' he was done with his interview and cheered him off the court. I think he liked it. We drove back to Denton and stopped at Rudy's barbecue which was scrumptious and then went home to bed. It was great to get to see my Dad all day and the Ags win. I wish that we could all just go to basketball games together instead of working, which by the way I should get back to. Stay tuned for a blog when we hopefully beat Texas in Austin (sorry Marcus). Let me emphasize the word HOPEFULLY.
