Hi Adele,
I know how you feel. It is nice when all the kids come to the house at the same time and laugh and talk. I know it is fun to see the girls together and acting like they did when they were young girls at home.
I hope the storms are stopping and you are getting cooler weather. know you will be glad for the rain to stop. I really wish we would get some rain. We have not had any this week so we really need it. The tropical storms hit really hard in some areas. If you do not live close to the ocean you get the rain and storms.
That is nice that Steph is watching Santino tomorrow. It is good that the girls help each other out like that. That is one good thing about having sisters. I know the girls help each other out when they can.
Are the boys enjoying their summer break? Do you know when they go back to school? Ours will go back sometime in August. We have not heard the exact date yet. It seems like their summer break gets shorter every year.
That is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I know that is how my oldest daughter is. She goes away for week-ends and takes her kids and Kevin stays at home or goes somewhere else. She is going to Tennessee the end of July and he is not going with her then either. They did go to Colorado together to see his sister. I guess that is the only vacation he wants to go on. It could be his job also.
It is nice that the weather has cooled down enough that they do not need the air conditioner right now. Maybe Greg will get it fixed before the really hot weather is back again.
Hope you have a great time at the wedding. Did you get your hair done before you have to go? I know you were wanting to get get it dyed before you went to the wedding. it is hard to get into a lot of beauty shops.
I wish that I did not get the second shot. I have been having ll kinds of trouble since I had it. I have been sick more and having trouble of fluid on the ear. So it is irritating. I have talked to other people that are having the same problem I am since they got the second shot.
I love the memes that you posted.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
It really has been hot there. I am glad that you had a place to go to cool down. You should have gone to sleep in there and stayed cool all night. Your manager sounds like he is a nice man. He understands that not everyone can stand the heat and need a cool place to sleep.
Your meal sounds really good. It was nice that Critt could eat dinner with you. It is nice that you have a friend to spend holidays with. It is not fun to be alone for everything. I am sorry to hear about the people that have died in you building. It is sad to lose that many people.
Snowball is such good company for you. That is cute that she is getting closer to you. I wonder what she will think about getting her hair cut. It would be nice if she would be happy with getting her hair cut and not get mad about it.
I really like all the pictures you posted. The flowers are so pretty purple butterflies on them. You always find such good pictures to post on here. Gail will like the picture of the butterfly. It really is colorful.
It has been hot here but not as bad as where you are. We have had some rain and our garden is looking really good. We have a lot of zucchini and hot peppers. He always plants too many hot peppers.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
That makes a person feel old when their grand kids get that old. My grands are still kind of young. Except one of them is in their twenties and her sister will turn twenty. That really makes me feel old and now with the great grands.
Are you going to have a dinner for Steph’s birthday? What is her favorite cake? You always do nice things for everyone in your family. I am sure you will help her get thru this. She is always going to have to remember that she has those two boys to care for.
Wasn’t that a cool place that Gail and Greg found for their anniversary dinner? What a great night they had.
That is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
That is a long time to be without air conditioning. I hope the part comes in sooner then they think. It is just too hot to be without it. It is good they have a place to go swimming so they can stay cool. Do they have fans? It would be nice to help them sleep at night.
Jenny is lucky that she had you and Greg there so she would not be alone. Is she still with her boyfriend? I think that it is just as hard on the parents of the divorced kids. We have to watch them go thru doing things without their kids because they are with the other parent. It use to really break my heart when Justin would take Owen on holidays and she would have to be by herself. We were lucky she could come here and be with us and her nieces and nephews
The place where you went for dinner sounds really nice. I am so glad that you found that place. I cannot imagine how cool that was to at the top of the hill seeing all those fire works. It sounds like it was just meant to happen at that time. I am with Gail we need all the details.
Well that is all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
We did not have anyone here yesterday. We grilled for just us. It was really kind of nice not having to do all that cooking. This will be the only time that we will not have kids here. We did go to the festival Saturday with Kylie and Grayson. We had a really good day. Grayson was wearing a pair of sunglasses that they gave him when he watched the parade. I couldn’t believe he wore them for as long as he did. We walked around and went to the different booths and then we got some lunch. Grayson ate french fries and chocolate ice cream. That was all we could get him to eat. It was just a fun day.
We ended watching the fire works on tv. They were on Sunday and we did not feel like going back up there. That was nice she wore the hat you gave her. It was good that you just cried a little and did not let it ruin your day.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
The heat is not as bad to handle if the humidity is low. I think the humidity really makes it hot and hard to breath. We are supposed to have a nice day tomorrow. I am glad that you did not have any damage from the storms.
The food that you are fixing sounds really good. The wings sound really good. I have never made them that way. I will have to try it. I bet Ron and the kids will like them also. I use to make hot wings all the time but have not done that since the kids all moved out. We got some ribs from Corkys, brats and pork steaks from the store. The ribs are from QVC. We are going to have corn on the cob but do not know what else to fix. It is just going to be Ron and me to eat. We will have enough left overs for the whole week. ONce Ron gets started he can’t stop buying meat to grill.
We are going into town to watch the fireworks. That will be about all we will do.
I hope they have better CIJ things this year. I was a little disappointed last year. We found out that Brook is having a girl but still do not have a due date. She won’t have one until she sees the doctor. This is taking forever to figure out.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great nigh and a great 4th. Stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Well that was weird. I do not have any idea why that posted like it did. Well here is the rest of the post. My computer is really getting weird. It does some strange things here lately.
We are going to the July 4th parade on Saturday and then the carnival. We may take Grayson and Kylie with us. Sunday we will grill but it will just be me and Ron. Then we will go and see the fire works that night. We can sit at my grand kids house and watch. They live on the street behind the field where they set the fire works off. So it will be a long week-end.
I hope that you and Gary have a good anniversary. Is this a new restaurant? I cannot remember if you said or not. It will be nice. We have got a few new restaurants here. We went to one and they had good food but it is mostly sandwiches.
You really lucked out on getting your hair colored. To get it highlighted also is a real break. It seems like all the beauticians are really busy because of covid.
That is terrible about the new washer. I wonder what is causing it to start running when you are not using it. I hope they can fix it and it does not take forever for them to fix it.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great 4th and enjoy you day with Jenny and the kids.
