Hi Adele,
Your basil looks really good. You are growing a lot in pots. We are not growing our own spices this year. We probably should because they are getting expensive.
Sounds like here. Most of the rain is going around us and we get just sprinkles of rain. We have been hooking up our soaking hose to water the garden with. We now have grass hoppers that in the garden. We will have to find something to get rid of them. If it is not one thing it is another.
That is nice that you could find a hair dresser to come to your house. There are not many that will do that anymore. It really gets aggravating. Especially if you cannot get out. We could not find someone that would come to my mom’s house when she was so sick.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
You always get your veggies later then we do. Did you get any asparagus this year? We did not get any at all so we planted some in the back garden. We hope this will do better back there. We have grass hoppers in our garden now. So we will have to find some thing to kill the. It has been really hot so we have been having to water the garden every night. We also need rain. Wish we had your weather it would be nice to cool down some.
That is funny how teenagers do things. They do not think that it is cool to play games but to help others to play is cool. They should just go ahead and play and really enjoy themselves. Aliza does not like to lose a game so by the time she gets to be a teen she will be really hard to deal with.
Wisconsin is a really pretty state. They have some nice vacation places. We stayed in a cabin when we were kids with my parents in Wisconsin. I cannot remember what part it was in. We were right by a lake.
Thanks for posting the memes. They are really funny. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I must have missed some posts on here. We have been eating fresh veggies out of the garden. We have been eating a lot of tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers. It is so nice to have all the fresh veggies to eat right now. We are going to try and freeze some of the zucchini for the winter. I do not know if I am going to make any sauce this year or not. It is so hot I do not want to heat up the house.
I hope you and Gary and the rest of the family are feeling well. We are doing okay but this heat has been making me feel bad and tired. Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Gail,
It sounds like you and stud muffin had a good vacation with the kids. That is funny the waitress called him that. That id funny. She must have been wanting a big tip. That is so funny.
That is fun to do things with the whole family. I hope that the kids will want to go back next year. It was fun to go out on the pontoon. It would be fun for the kids to jump off and swim. Where was it you went to?
The kids are really going to have a fun summer going with their other grandparents. They are lucky to have two sets of grandparents that like to do things like that. They are having a fun summer.
That must have been a lot of fun for the kids to paint on the rocks. Did Kendal at least take part in that? I know what you mean about teenagers. They never want to do anything and they are always bored. It is really hard on those poor kids.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
She is really heavy when you pick her up. I cannot hardly pick her up anymore. She is a momma’s girl that is for sure. If she hears her mom’ voice she starts looking for her and if she cannot find her she starts to cry.
That is really confusing. One person to tell you it is COPD and then have another tell you it is not. I guess he will have to see what the pulmonnologist has to say. I hope he can tell Gary what is going on.
I will say a prayer. Maybe she will change her mind and move away from there. It is hard to get kids to listen to what you tell them. She may figure it out.
That is good news that Tillie’s going to have her bills paid at the nursing home. It sure will save a lot of money.
Have a good day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
The things that you have for the 4th sounds good. I posted to Gail what we are going to do. Your garden is really pretty. You did a really good job.
I hope Amanda is happy where she is living now. Do you think that she will ever move back in with you and Gary again? It would be nice to have her there with you again.
How is Gary doing? I will say a prayer that he is doing ok. This hot and humid weather I think that is hard on a lot of people. My sodium is really low again. I think that is why I have not been feeling well. So now I have to try and bring it up.
I cannot believe that it is July already. This year is going by so fast. All our grand kids are growing so fast and our greats are also. The baby is 8 months old and she weighs 30 pounds. She is a big girl. I think that she weighs more then her little brother.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
I am praying for Critt and for you. You will miss him when he moves. It is sad that someone can just come in and say he needs to move. Just because we are older we can still make our own decisions. They could also put bars on the bed to keep him from falling out. They only go so far up on the bed and he can still get out on his own. My mom had them on her bed at the end of her being in her home. They also helped her to get in and out.
Thanks for letting us know that there was a Quacker show coming on.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
The picnic they are having sounds really fun. I hope your sunburn is not too bad. I hope that it is either turning tan or starting fade. I hate getting sunburned. There really is not too many things that sooth a sunburn.
Happy Anniversary! Sounds like you had a fun evening. That is a blast from the past. The Buckinghams were such a good group. I like listening to the old groups are groups that imitate them.
We are not planning on doing anything on the 4th. It is going to be really hot here. We are supposed to have a couple of storms this week-end. So we may just go a bbq place and bring some food home. They have really good ribs and pork steaks. It will just be me and Ron here also. We may go to the 4th of July picnic in town. They have a lot of stands with some cute things to sell. They always sell hats and purses. They also have t-shirts with all kinds of cute sayings. They also have a lot of food trucks. Some of the food they sell is so spicy I cannot eat it. So we end up at the BBQ place.
Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Ladies,
You are lucky DD that you have had such cool summer so far. It has been really hot here. It was really miserable here without the air conditioner. It was over 100 here for a long time. It is still hot but has cooled down a little. It s still in the 90’s but the humidity has not been as bad and pushing the heat index up into the hundreds. You are a really nice person to offer to buy Hallie tires. People need a helping hand at times .I am sorry to hear about Critt I hope that he is feeling a lot better now. It was really good to hear from you just stay cool and safe.
Adele you are so funny. I can just see you hooting at the owls. You must be pretty good if they answered back. Maybe they will land somewhere close to the house so you can see them .That was nice that Bobby went to the cemetery with the girls. He is a really good Uncle. It is hard to believe that Heather has been gone for that long already. It just seems like time is flying by this year. I hope that you got some rain and not end up having a drought. We need rain now. It has been too hot and dried the ground out. We have been having to water the garden. The plants look really good and we are hoping it does good this year. We would like to be able to can a lot this year.
Well that is about all from here. I hope you both have a good night and stay safe.
Colleen
