Hi all,
We have a hot day (101) today so are hitting the movies again with the boys. Spiderman.... good thing I like movies... we play a lot of scrabble too... Derek won yesterday , not bad for a kid with as many learning disabilities as he has, the teachers never figured out how to teach him... we had to do it ourselves.. and he learned what works for him too... will be a junior in high school this yr!
Happy Birthday to GG too, they do grow so fast , my great grandson will be 2 soon too!
Well got to finish getting ready for movie time… at least with boys here I now know the theater is pretty nice...
Have a good day all,
Nana

I hope your cooler gets fixed soon Tina. Nana, I plan to buy GG Scrabble....she has Bananagrams but they have lost some of the pieces. Scrabble is a great family game for all ages. I finally got GG's dresser and bookcase all painted. It looks so nice with the white and aqua....the only pink thing left to get rid of in her room is the garbage can  It is calling for rain for the day...I will be making my strawberry jelly today. My garden produced a gallon of tame berries so far.

I thought aftershocks only lasted a day or two. One learns something new everyday  The rain is the muggy, sticky kind...but I did make two batches of jelly for Winter with the time being stuck indoors.

Wet t-shirt contest at Tina's  It is calling for thunderstorms today and tomorrow...and of course today I have to go get GB's cake, then his party(small family gathering) is tomorrow at his 'pizza place'. I am so glad we didn't plan anything for outdoors this weekend.

No contests. When the humidity is low and heat is high, it is the most economical way of keeping cool. Good morning all.

So there is to be a set T shirt contest at Tina's...even if she says no ???  see you so there... I am so happy to be back where I can talk to you all when I like. Stay safe in your storms, but have fun at "the Pizza place". I will hope the storms cooperate Sunny. Drinking coffee here.

Well boys did want to go swimming at inlaws but they had unexpected company so will stay home and think of stuff to do in the air conditioning, it's another hot day here... but that is expected in sunny Az.. I oven cooked 2 pkgs of bacon this morning and 1 is gone now,,, takes me and hubby a week to eat that much bacon...hungry boys 20 minutes!
Oh well that's why we have stores close by....LOL!
We had our internet speed upgraded, they had to give us a whole new phone number for the computer line too so had to re- hook up my printer, that took me a few minutes to figure out.. can't find the disk for it of course.. evidently hid it really well from myself... but boys helped me get the online version and that helped a lot. .good to have computer savvy kids around...LOL!
Well guess I better get busy dusting the house and figuring out dinner... they always need feeding these teenage boys are bottomless pits!

Yes, boys are bottomless pits. I guess they need to eat a lot to grow into healthy happy men.
I have a blackberry pie in the oven, and some cinnamon rolls from the leftover crust dough on the counter. And, oh, bolied eggs cooling for the chef salads that will be supper.

Have fun Junie.
Today we have GB's 4th b-day gathering....at his favorite pizza place in town.
I am so glad that we never planned a birthday party, the weather is not cooperating......It couldn't rain any harder if it tried.

Yes they did. The cousins had grand fun with each other while we were in Virginia, and Val's kids thought staying in a hotel on the way out, and then again on the way home was the best thing ever....
We did not go anywhere...but then Emily has never taken Rod and I anywhere when we went out to visit her. Val was really looking forward to seeing the Smithsonian, but the day she and Emily were going to take the oldest 3 boys, is when Cora got sick....I am hoping Val and Henry will go back out sooner rather later so the 2 of them can get to the Smithsonian.
I have been a time or 2 so if I don't get to go it is not a big deal.

I am glad the grands had fun...I hope lots of pics got taken. GB had a nice b-day gathering, small and quiet....as we promised the pizza shop that we would be. (they do not want to do kids parties there). It is still raining, when this finally stops we will have heavy heat like we see in August. I'll be trying out the new air conditioner tomorrow as well

Glad the party went well. And as Tina said, glad you have the air conditioner, Sunny.
It is raining here as well, just what we do not need. We were just beginning to see the water levels in the fields receed.

Thanks, me too Tina and Junie. It is a portable unit but I'll take what I can get/afford. Tina, I want to thank you for sharing your earthquake ripple with me. This morning before 10 a.m. I had the dishes shaking in my cabinet...then this was posted on our news. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/earthquake-petit-rocher-1.5211952

Oh my, I am so sorry to hear this, Sunny. Stay safe ! But thanks for the article. It was interesting.
We moved closer to the New Madrid Fault line by moving to Southern Missouri.
I hope we all stay safe.

Hi all, Quick note to say HI , going to movies again this afternoon, to hot for boys to do much else...hard on these red headed kids, especially when one doesn't sweat so has to have air conditioning to stay cooled down... we do have wet towels for him too but they don't last long when it's so hot... got to get busy now and at least dust house before we get moving..hubby went to buy the tkts in advance. not that there is a line... I think there were 12 people in last movie counting us... don't know how they make a profit? well off to clean some....
Have a good day all!

Thanks, Tina. Val, Brian and the kids were here and I thought it the best choice.
...Right now, I am just out of the tub. I have 3 short people in their beds here, sleeping. (Henry thought he should go home with his parents)
"Mom" will come in the morning and we will take all 4 kids to the library children's program.
I wish everyone a good night. Sleep well.
