Hi DD,
I hope that your weather gets cooler soon. just hope that you can keep cool in your apartment in all this heat. I hope that you like that small air conditioner. Does it work really well? Does it just cool you in a small area. I was wondering how well they work and how big an area they will cool.
They are starting the CIJ really early this year. Just like the Hall Mark channel. They are showing the Christmas movies already. It seems like that is starting really early also. I cannot believe that they are doing this so early. By the time Christmas gets here we will be tired of the movies. They had one on tonight.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and stay safe.
Colleen
p.s. thank you for posting all the pictures. They are really pretty.

Hi Adele,
I am so aggravated. I just wrote a post to you and the whole thing disappeared. It is so aggravating when it does that. I just would like to know where it goes.
I am sorry to hear about your pool. I hope that the pool man can fix it. Your kids really enjoy getting into the pool. Have you ever gotten into the pool? I never hear you talk about getting into the pool. Your pool looks to be a really nice one. It is a lot nicer then the pool we had.
I wish you would have posted pictures of the other cases you made I would like to see the crown and the mouse that you did for Aizen. You really do such a good job on everything you make. I have got to get better at what I do. I need to start to do things like the latch hooking again.
That explosion was close to where I use to live. We use to live in Rockford Illinois and the town where the explosion was is close to there. I am not sure if they had any damage from it or not.
Ron had two Father’s day celebration. Mandy and Kylie and Grayson came over on Father’s day and I fixed beef stroganoff with salad. That is Ron’s favorite meal. On Monday Danyielle, Aliza and Owen came over and they bought dinner. They got it from a bbq place. They have such good food and they give you enough for two meals. So we had a really great day. Just wish that Melissa could have been here but she did call her dad and talked to him for a long time. Did Gary have a good Fathers day? I am glad that Steph got to swim in the pool with the kids and Johnny.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I was surprised that my friend did not call when it happened. She use to keep me informed about all that was going on in Rockford and the towns around there.
It is nice to see everything opening up. I like to be able to be around everyone again. We have been going to restaurants and eating. We were just picking food up and bringing it home at first. I think that it was hard to find places that you could sit down to eat inside. I think that things opened earlier then it did where you live.
Happy Anniversary! Two more years and you will hit the 50th. Did you do anything for your anniversary? I hope you got to go out to dinner at a really nice restaurant. It will be nice to spend some time with Jenny and the kids.
Did you ordered anything from QVC the other day? I did not see anything that I could not live with out. I did like the tsv but did not get it. I think that I have one of those tops from the last time they were on. I think that I got a different color.
Thank-you for posting the memes. They are so funny. Well that is about all from here have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
The quilt show was really good. There was one where a woman made one out of silk blouses from a thrift store. It was cute and it seems like it would be hard to make. It was pretty.
I love the memes you posted. Especially the stork delivering the baby. That was funny. They were all really funny but that one just made me think of how many people use to say that the stork delivers babies when we were little.
There are a lot of shows that are not showing on QVC. I would think that by now the vendors could come on the shows. They could use the social distancing. It would make the show a lot more interesting. QVC has been really boring lately. The way they are doing it where the vendors are doing their own shows makes me wonder if that is how they are going to start doing shows. I hope not they are not as good.
I cannot stand the heat either. Now I have to wear a hat whenever I go outside if I stay outside for very long. It is really aggravating. I do not always remember to bring one.
We heard about that explosion. That was close to Rockford but not sure how close. We looked at a house in that town once. I cannot remember why we did not buy it Ron could not remember either. I feel sorry for the people that live in that town.
Aliza is playing t-ball this year. She is really excited about playing. Owen is not playing any type of sport this year he is racing though. He really likes it so I think that he will continue to race.
I had high lights put in my hair. She put caramel color on it this time. She did red once but went kind of crazy with the red. She had more red then my normal color. I think that they opened things up soon there then they did where you are.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I just wondered why they would not have taken an x-ray when she first went in. I am so glad that she is starting to feel better. It is hard when you are sick to take care of a baby. He is at that active age where you have to chase them all over the place. So there is no just sitting and resting.
It is surprising how much a walker can be. I know that when I broke the bone in my leg I could not have gotten around if I did not have one. So now I have a walker and a cane just in case. I had to use both of them at one time.
I am glad that the pain in the hip is getting better. Just take it easy and do not try to do too much until it is better. All the rainy weather and humidity s not helping. Our weather is really hot here still. How is your weather? I hope your weather gets better soon.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi DD
Snowball is such a pretty cat. It will be interesting to see how she looks and reacts to having it done. I have no idea why a cat likes boxes and laundry baskets. I wonder if they like to get in there with the clean clothes because they smell so fresh.
It seems like once the weather got so hot it just hung around. It has been in the nineties since last week. It does not look like that it is going to cool down any time soon. I am glad that you got some rain. Hope it cuts down on the fire danger.
I do not understand why QVC does not have more of the vendors on the shows now. They finally let them start eating the food that they have on their gourmet shows. I do not see how they could do it. I could not resist tasting the food. It would be hard to talk about how good the foods taste if I have not tasted it.
Well that it is about all from here, Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I hope that the doctor finds what is going on with Marissa. I am surprised they have waited this long to do an x-ray. It seems like they would have done that right away. I guess they do things different these days.
Grayson is stuck on saying Hi. He will say it over and over again. He will keep on saying it until you say it back to him. Not just one time either. He also likes the word bagel. He won’t eat them but he likes to say it. He is a really big boy and he never loses any weight. He grows some and he still does not get any skinnier.
I hope that it is the pain that is gone and not your hip .lol I hope that Frankie will be back soon so you can get that hip taken care of. That is terrible to be in that much pain.
The weather is really hot here still. We are not supposed to have any more rain until next but I hope they are wrong. It has really dried things out since it has been so hot. The garden is looking really good hope we get a lot out of the garden this year.
Well that is all from here. Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
Glad that you are feeling okay. It is really hot here. I will trade your weather for our weather any day. I like the cooler weather never been much of a summer person.
It is interesting how this will lose our posts. Where do they go? It is hard to figure out. My computer has started to work right again. I can get on this site right now. I just hope that it keeps up and I do not lose it again. I do not know what happened to get it back on again but I thank God that it is on again. The computer came on and it ran a clean up on here. So maybe that is what fixed it.
Most of what has been gong on here I wrote on Adele’s post. So guess that I will get off of here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I know that really hurts when it settles in your back. It is really hard to do anything when your ack hurts. Have you tried an ice bag or heat on your back? They say to use ice that usually helps.
It is really hot and humid here also. We went out today and had a good day. We went to a quilt show and they had some beautiful quilts. They give you a piece of paper and pencil so you can vote on the quilt you would like to see win. They had one that was all purple and it was beautiful. I bought chances on a quilt but probably will not win. I am not very lucky when it comes to drawings. We went to an inside flea market and found a ward robe that I would like to buy but it was too much money. It needed to be repainted and they did not have the key for it. That would not bother me can’t see a reason to lock it .After that we went to an Amish store and bought some fresh bake goods the we went out to eat. We did not go to any places that did not have air conditioning in it. It was too hot for that.
What did the doctor say about Marissa? I hope that she is doing a lot better now and breathing easier. How is Sonny doing? I bet he is really growing. I know that Grayson is. He is talking a lot more also.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.
