Welcome Matthew Howard Thorton Baxter

It' s so hot don't feel much like doing anything. But have a houseful of boxes that need unpacked, have to crawl out of bed 6:15 am most days, meals to cook, menus to plan. blah blah blah, who cares!

So what' s new ? My baby brother welcomed his first child into the world – born on the 4th of July! Thought so cool to be born on such a festive day. It's my favorite holiday with no stress inducing demands like gift buying (which I do enjoy). just lax around, maybe bbq or cook up a nice summer dinner than go watch fireworks if inclined. This year we went to Coachman park, and personally, was impressed. Love the view of Clearwater harbor right there and the FW were as good as they come. It was packed with families and people milling about the vendors, watching the concert on stage (nice to watch but makes me miss hearing). But sweet silence soon filled the air when the FW started and it was like hearing perfectly again as can feel each BOOM as anyone. Now back to the new baby. I went up Natures Food Patch in the morning on the 4th to get last minute munchies and a few baby gifts, a card for the new mom. As I was walking out Hulk Hogan walked! We’ve seen him there before so wasn’t exactly star struck. But this time a light bulb flicked on, as walked to my car – eureka! My sis-in-law Danielle is a huge wrestling fan, whether she likes HH or not I could not let this opportunity pass. With card in hand I ventured back into the store, I located him sitting in the café and apologetically approached as blabbled out something like “sis new baby, one hour ago, loves wrestling, sign for her pls?”. He pleasantly smiled and signed a nice congrats on the card I just bought. How cool is that? few pics below. One is 20 seconds old and while I think beautiful maybe not for everyone.
