Well, it's too hot for lawn mowing today. I need to make a quick grocery run in a few.

I was in this morning but my power went out. So I got "powerless" stuff done today, so far. Thank goodness it came back on before it got hotter.

Our power was out as well Tina...just for a half hour though. I think they are working on power lines/tree trimming.

I was out to the local store...prices there are getting crazier with the new owner.

Yes I hear that. At this new store I was T today, they had some good salrs, some regularly priced items and then sprinkled thruout was a good number of way overpriced items !

I guess the name of the game was make it (money) how and where you can.

School only starts here September 4th.

GG turns 8 in one week. I have to make a Walmart run this weekend as well. DH bought her a tablet but did not know that you have to buy a bumper case....wish he would have bought me one, they were on sale for $60. lol

Another hot day...we are reaching the high 90's everyday. It was a good idea to try larger tomatoes in my garden...they are growing wonderfully for the first time ever.

Shelley's children started school Monday and Colt starts August 9th. It's going to be interesting for Colt now that his dad is the Head Master at his school and his mother is teaching STEM at his school.

Sunny I'm surprised your school starts that late since you guys have such bad weather I would have thought it would start earlier in the summer.

Junie when you say "kids" do you mean all day or just after school?

We took ToDeTa to have her put to sleep on Tuesday and brought her back home. If I've already posted this please forgive me and don't read it but I'm crazy with 2 boys and a sick dog in my house. She has rectal bleeding and has started pooping in her bed. Johnny was a basket case, which I don't understand, and cried like he was the one dying. He asked the vet to do lab work and her kidneys, although still failing, aren't any worse and may be a fraction improved. All he heard was "improved" so the doctor ended up giving her medicine for a GI bleed and sending us on our way. He talked to us for a long, long time and I'm sure he needed to get to other clients but Johnny just wouldn't make a decision, even though we had made the decision before we left the house. The vet said it comes to a quality of life situation, sick or not, and since she's sleeping 20 hours a day, only getting up for us to take her out, that she has no quality of life. My decision has been for Johnny to be the one and only one to take care of her when he's home so we shall see. I think his reaction to his has been beyond weird. She's not in any pain that we can tell and once in a while does seem a little bit better but she's 14 years old and this is as good as she's going to ever be again. I'm not sure what kind of personality issue Johnny has that he can't let his dog rest in peace.

Oh my Sheri, it is hard to let our babies go but I agree its a quality of life thing , and a dog will not let on if it's in pain... hope he can let go soon...

School started here today for at least our neighborhood kids... and my grands start in 2 weeks... seems earlier every yr...

We went to Yuma again for another funeral, 3rd one this year so far, another one of hubby's aunts is in hospice in Cali so may be heading there too... this getting older isn't for sissies... it was good to see relatives and visit but hate having to have a funeral to get us all together..

I agree prices are getting worse all the time... I think we moved at right time to lower our housing bills but food is ridiculous everywhere it seems...and hubby having to go to doc more often is adding another expense .. he is pre diabetic at moment and was told to stop drinking and lose some weight .. it runs in his family from both sides so he did as told (Yay) and feels better already... but somehow got pink eye before we left and had to get drops for that... worse than a kid! LOL!

Well better get busy and get done paying bills and get laundry done up and house picked up.. how does it get messy when we are gone for 4 days? ????


Have a good day all!

Nana

Hello.

We moved down here by Valarie so we could help her with the kids. I have been coming to her house quite a bit so that she can get stuff done. Stuff
Like setting up her classroom and taking Henry school shopping. He was 4 this past April. He will go to preschool this year at his mom's school since she is a teacher they will allow him to attend their preschool for free.......next year he will attend the School of the church that Brian and the kids belong to.

Valentine's first day of school is the 9th of Agust. Kids start week after next...I will be watching the girls on Wednesday and Thursdays during the school year.
It seems to me that most schools begin earlier every year.

Funerals do tend to come in groups of 3's. I have no idea why but it does happen a lot.

Going to Worden tomorrow and We will be back home here in MO by Friday evening.

See you all when we get back !

G'night everyone.

Hello. Thanks everyone for the good wishes. I was awake early so I have a bit of extra time. So, I thought to come in and say good morning.

No rain here...thank goodness. I still say that mother nature needs to learn how to rain between midnight and 6 am. We would have our needed moisture but not be inconvenienced by it.

I am for a happy Thursday too Tina.

Sherri sorry about all the deaths. It is sad that funerals are the only time we have a family reunion. It does seem like funerals happen in 3's. Good observation Junie.

Sunny I know what you mean about your hair. I'm sitting here wondering if I should just wrap a towel around my head because I know for sure it won't flatten out today. The humidity is killer.

Well, DH gave in today and sent me to buy an air conditioner...the joke was on me. There wasn't any to be found anywhere and they can't order any in. No wonder, we haven't had heat reaching 100 for more than a day before...now it is weeks on end.

I'll remind him of this heat when April hits next year and they stock a few in the stores.

Sunny, I don't know what yellow bean pods are. Are they what we call wax beans? Tough break about the AC.

It's rained mostly here today and the temp would be in the 70's but when the rain stopped for only 2 minutes it would soar back up to the 90's.

Yup, yellow beans are wax beans. I boil them in salted water...I do can them as well, with a mustard sugar vinegar brine. They are delicious.

We were gone all day yesterday to a local little festival...even DD attended with us. The best thing is that it is all free...except for the craft table set up. GG got a bracelet and GB wanted nothing lol We stopped for ice cream on the way home...it was a nice day.

The heat hasn't stopped. We were told the next batch of air conditioners are only set to arrive in April 2019.

Good Morning.

Sorry for the heat, Sunny. I hope you are able to get one of the newly arriving AC units next spring .

Glad you had a nice outting. And Ice cream is always a good thing.

Today we are invited to a 25 Anniversary Party for my DD's in- laws. They are hosting it themselves. Thing is they have invited more people than they have room for. Hopefully it will be set up more like an open house. We shall see.
