Hey DD
So glad the weather is cooler. Not up here. Hot and humid snd thunderstorms every day.
The kids were able to use the pool for a couple of hours before the thunder came.
Steph did ok on her birthday. I’m glad she was not too sad. I gave her a couple of pieces of my jewelry. She likes that better than bought gifts. Means more to her.
I hope your appointment went well. Let us know what the doctor said…. I assume a doctor apt??
OMG. I hope Critt is ok. I had diverticulitis for years. They eventually removed a piece of my colon. Have not had any real issues since then. Tell him to stay away from popcorn and nuts. Both can trigger bad attacks.
Take care. Stay cool.
Adele

Hi Colleen
It does make you feel old with grands over 30. Lol. Lol
For about 30 minutes yesterday I had all 3 girls in the same room. Amanda was home , Steph was here helping Tillie shower and Marissa stopped by as she was out on an errand when Enzo got home. We had a cup of tea together while Marissa said s quick hello. Thad girls discussed when we’d all be together to celebrate Stephs birthday. Seems like no day we would have all of them together!!
Thst was a cool place Gail snd Greg went to!!

DD
You should have stayed down there to sleep. Seems like you have an understanding property manager. That us very nice
That’s awful about all the men who died. So glad Critt us ok!! Also glad you two had the holiday together
Our channels have done weird things too QVC changed its channel all of a sudden. I’m glad I can talk to my remote to find it!!
Also during all these storms up here our Tv keeps freezing. It went in and out yesterday during all the storms. Gary was getting aggravated as you could not change channels.
That is so nice your kitty is becoming your good buddy. It’s so nice to have a cuddly pet
I hope the intense heat stays away from your state. That was worst than awful
Attaching pic of scissor case I made for Rachel, our grand from Gary’s son. She is in nursing school and working in the ER
Luv all you guys

Hey Colleen
I know how you feel. Sometimes it’s nice not to have the huge prep and huge clean up
We always watch the fireworks on TV. We have not gone out to see them in a decade! Lol
Stephanie will be 31 on Wednesday. It will be a hard day because of how much she misses her mother
Starting tomorrow our weather will be awful agin. Heat humidity and storms. Remnants of the hurricane for end of week

Gailster
What a beautiful anniversary! Between the dinner and the fireworks on the way home , Greg could not have planned it better if he arranged them himself!! So glad you two had such a magical evening
What did you eat? Which outfit did you wear? We want details! Lol. Lol
That’s awful about Jenny’s air conditioner aGary wants to know what brand it is. He is thinking we may find it around here for you.
So glad everyone had a good fourth.
Now we need to find out how DD’s weekend went

Hi Colleen
It’s almost 11:30 and the kids just left a few minutes ago. Steph and her family were here. Marissa stopped by for a minute to give Steph sparklers for the kids Santino is still sick. He is very stuffy. Marissa snd Rnzo stayed home with him.
My neighbor came by for a while with her mother and son. Her son played chess with JJ. She had the hat on I gave her after Heather died. It was for her birthday and she died before her birthday. It’s a hat with a glitter flag in the visor. Heather loved those hats. It looked good on my neighbor and I’m glad she wears it. It made me cry just a little.
I’m glad you and Ron got to go see fireworks. We watched them on TV.
We played Texas Holdum with the kids. Steph brought the games. It was fun.
That is great you are having a girl. I am so happy for all of you!!! What a nice Christmas present for all of you !!! Congrats!!!!
Happy 4th!!!! Thank God we all got to celebrate. Thank God. I hope it stays this way
Luv. Adele

Ho Gailster and Colleen…. and DD too….
First of all. Happy 4th of July!!!
It is gross up here. Been raining for three days. We had huge thunderstorms but had no damage. Thank God! It went from 100 to the high 50’s but still that awful humidity
We are planning on a bbq. But the weather is not cooperating. I have chicken wings marinating in the Good Seasons dressing. I make them in the oven so the rain won’t matter. I bake them then broil them in the end to get crispy
Steph wants Pesto , so I’ll make that too. And, of course we have corn. Bobby will get the meats he wants to make fresh cause he hates frozen bbq meats. Lol
Marissa is goin to a party and Amsnda is with the boyfriend
I’m dying to see the Pops and fireworks on TV. I hope the rain does not ruin it
Everyone up here is sore from the weather snd humidity. Sucks getting old….. lol. Lol
Also looking forward to CIJ. I hope they have something cool for the boys.!!
Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday. Everyone reset lives one after the last two years.
Happy Anniversary Gailster and Gregster!!!!!!
Luv. Adele

Omg Gailster
That check engine light really hit home. Lol
It is amazing when I say I have not been out. I am lucky I don’t have a tooth ache. I do need to get the teeth cleaned. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get in the Jeep. The ankles and right leg is bad. It’s pain and sciatica pain Sucks
I can’t even sit in the recliner. It makes the pain worst. I watch TV in the kitchen snd we sometimes roll a kitchen chair in the living room. Lol.
JJ had a drive through graduation. Patents drove in a line to the school. The graduate hit out snd had a picture taken with the principal and got their diploma. Got back in car and it was over. Pretty bad.
We used our graduation paper goods 3 times over the weekend. Steph snd crew were here all 3 days. They planted. Did some stuff for Tillie and just hung out. Aizen did a snap chat account for me. I don’t know too much yet on how to do stuff. Lol. Lol
He wanted to be able to snap chat face time me. Lol
It’s gross up here. The air cannot keep up. It’s not humid in here but the temp is about 80. It will get cooler when it gets dark. It was almost 100 today. Tomorrow will be worst
The pool is running.
Here’s a funny story about Santino today. He learned how to open his soppy cup. He dolled the water in the floor, and then tried to lick it up like his dog, Luna does. Marissa freaked. I laughed and told her babies who have dogs will copy them. I wish she got a video of it. They could have gone on America’s Funniest Videos!!!
Not doing much this week. Gary did not even want to do the hot dogs in the grille I got these new Boars Head no nitrates long dogs from the local meat shop on Instacart. They were really good snd not salty. I also got Boars Head knockwurst. Everyone liked them and it’s an easy summer supper with a salad and rolls!
Accept the husband didn’t want to go out there to cook them and I didn’t want to heat the kitchen up more with the inside grille from the Q. Lol. Lol
Hope your weather is better
Forgot to say. I use an ekectric toothbrush, then floss, then use the water pick on my teeth. So my teeth don’t get too much tartar. But I have two areas where the gums are a little sore so I need to get to the dentist before I have a problem!! Lol
Attaching the piece of the pool that rotted out and Gary with his customer attaching the new metal pieces

Omg. The post posted and I was not done!
I was saying I’ll check the items presented. Lol
I love the CIJ shows. I usually find something for the boys and the rest of them
I hope you can stay cool. Temps like that are very dangerous. Worst comes to worst take a cold shower. It will be like when you were a kid and running through the sprinkler !! It’s hard to stay cool when it is that bad
It’s humid up here but cooler. It will be in the 90’s by Sunday and stay there for about a week.
Steph and the family are coming tonight to celebrate JJ’s graduation. They can’t use the pool because if the leak. Gary drained it down below the leak because his customer is coming to fix it tomorrow. The pool man never came back or called. I’m just glad we found someone to repair it.
I hope you get that red tree. They run out of things very fast. Let me know if you were able to order the red one
Hope your weekend goes well and you are able to stay comfortable
Adele

Hi Colleen
I will try again to load the picas. Not done with the crown one. Hope to get it done for tomorrow when JJ comes for his graduation celebration. The last time I posted pics they did not load
I used to be in the pool every day. It is too hard to get in there , even though Gary got me the stairs. I have so much trouble walking and I’m so unstable on my feet I worry I would fall in there and drown. So I don’t go in. I used to love it. It was so nice and cool. Those were the days!!!
Gary did not want a celebration because it was the anniversary of Heather’s death. I did make him go out for lunch with his son and grands. He has not seen them since the pandemic began. Once everyone is fully vaccinated here they will visit here again. Amanda need to be two weeks out after her second shot. I’m not sure what that date will be. Lol
It sounds like Ron had a good time! I’m glad. Also glad you are getting out again
I had Nancy and Gerald visit today for brunch!!! It was the first visit in two years!!! It was really nice and felt like we had our lives back
Weather is nice up here. No humidity
Gary’s customer is coming in Saturday to fix the pool. He is the top guy for rust/restoration. He feels he will be able to fix the leak. Gary hopes to have the pool filled back up on Sunday. It takes a few minutes to drain it but a long time to fill it!!
Hope you have a good day!
Adele
