Hi Adele,
That is scary when your hair starts to fall out like that. Do you think that it is from all the worry you have had. It is probably good Marisa did not tell you what was said. Maybe she did not take it very well when the medium told her. I was thinking of a that other kind. I can’t spell it . I am really a bad speller tonight.
It was fun to to have them both. It is too much work though. It is funny to watch Grayson crawl like he does. He should lose a lot of weight crawling like that. Aliza does like to be the boss. She just does not know how to. It was fun to be around her and him and see how they act together. He is going to have a mind of his own also. He is cutting teeth on top now he has two on bottom. It is so rough on little ones when they cut teeth. How is Sonny doing? Is he getting teeth yet? I think you said that he has his two bottom teeth like Grayson. It is going to be rough on the little ones.
It has been really hot here also. We have had storms and then today we did not have any but are supposed to have some tomorrow. I am tired of the storms wish that they would just be rain and nothing else. It would be nice if we would just get a nice slow rain.
We have been trying to empty the pool but every time we get it about get it done it rains again and then there is more in there. This may take longer then we thought it would.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Aiza does like to be in charge and gets upset when things do not go her way. We usually will let her when it is just us but not when the other kids are here. Danyielle does not let her either. She tries to get what she wants when she is at home with Owen. They do not let her get away with it then either. Once in a while Owen will let her but Danyielle always steps in.
Kylie works and they still have to drive her to and from work. She has now decided that she needs to drive so she can do what she wants. She just will not go get them. I may see if she will let me take her if they are doing it again. I know that they quit for awhile because of the covid virus.
Ron bought the water melon at a produce stand. He bought a bunch of peaches and watermelon and cantalopes. That was the first watermelon that I have heard of exploding. She said that it had a bad spot in it sow will have to look it up and see what causes it to happen.That was funny though. I can just see her face when it happened. We cannot grow any type of melons here. We have tried before but it does not happen. I would love to be able to grow our own just can’t figure out how to get them to grow.
I am so glad that you are sending the memes again. We always get a good laugh. I showed my girls the one with the shot and they were laughing and wondering how that would feel. I don’t have to wonder I know that it has to hurt.lol
Well that is all from here. I got my hair cut yesterday and it was really safe. We were the only ones in the shop and no one came in until I was gone.So she is doing a good job of doing this. She washed the chair where I was sitting and the door handle and everything that more then one person would touch.
Have a good night.
Colleen

Hi Barbara,
I hope you are feeling better. I think it is from staying in the house so much it is getting to all of us. You just get bored and sick of being home. We have been getting out a little more. Just wear a mask every where we go. We went to Elephant Rock yesterday and took our granddaughter. She got to walk on the rocks and got tired. We had a good time. The baby came to our house after we got home. So a busy day and evening.
Those storms have really been rough. I do not think they are as bad as the ones a few years ago. I still would not want to live where they are having those storms. Hurricanes have to be worse then tornadoes . A tornado hits and moves on Hurricanes stay around for awhile. There is no place to go to get away from them.
The baby is crawling on his stomach pulling with his arms and pushing with his feet. He gets around really well. He is also cutting teeth. He has two on the bottom and getting the two top teeth now. He is really having a rough time of it.
Well that is about all from here. I hope your little grandson is doing okay and all the rest of the family. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I have never gone to a medium.I am not sure that they know what they say is true. I never want to know the future just take what comes. If this is going to upset you maybe you should not sit thru it. Do not do anything that will just upset you more.
The heat was bad here also. We have been having a lot of rain and storms here. Last night I could not do much on here because of the storms. I get tired of them. It is supposed to storm again tonight. I hope they are wrong.
I wrote everything that is going on here on Gail’s post There has been a lot going on here and cannot rewrite it. Today was not as bad. I finally went and got my hair cut. There was no one in the shop but me and the beautician. She is handling really well. She washes everything down when she gets done with you and nobody comes in the shop until she is done. She is the only one in there it has always been that way. So I felt like it was safe to go there.
Well not much else going on here today. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
We hear a lot about it here. It happened in St. Louis. Their neighbors all made sure that the gates were put back up right away. It is scary that this could happen in our country. The prosecutor in Missouri is not good at all. She is running again this year and I do not think that she will get reelected. Some of the protesters that were there she had let go without any reason. They were in on the burnings and other crimes. They should have never let go. I can remember when they reported the news and not their opinions. I do not want to know that I just want the news.
Ron is getting stubborn this year. He is giving veggies away but they have to come here to get them he will not take them to their house. Last he drove all over the place giving people veggies because we had so many. I do not know why hot peppers grow so much better then the green peppers. We always have a lot of them into the fall.
I still cannot believe that my older granddaughters still do not have their drivers license. I have tried to get my oldest to get hers but she hasn’t yet. The youngest has tried twice and failed it. Her boyfriend is trying to help her but he is not a good driver either. We keep trying to tell her that but she will not listen.
I had Aliza and Grayson here yesterday. We watched them all day and will never do it again. We were both so worn out by the time they went home. It is not good to watch a 4 yr old and a baby. They both want all the attention. Aliza wants to take care of the baby and tell us how to do it. It was funny in a way but then got kind of tiresome. So we will kept telling her that we love her and him. They are both use to getting all the attention.
We gave Amanda a water melon. Well she went to cut it up and it was making a weird noise and it exploded all over the place. She said it was just like when a soda fizzes over. She said it was all over her and Grayson and her kitchen. Ron told her that is why we always cut into a water melon out side instead of in the kitchen. It was funny when she was telling us about.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
That is really funny that nurse got the mom instead of the little girl. The place she got stabbed must be painful. That is just funny I hope that nurse has quit giving shots.
We had something happen here that I could not believe. This man and woman were sitting on their patio having dinner at their home in a gated neighborhood. These people that are supposed to be protesting the death of that young man went on those peoples property with guns and threatened these people. They called the police and the police were told not to go so then they called a security company and they were told that they could not come. So they got guns out and protected themselves. They did not shoot they just showed these people that they were not going to let them go into their home and destroy it. So after all this happened the prosecutor of St. Louis had them arrested their legally registered guns taken away from them ans she is going to press charges. There was a lot of protesting from the people that the demonstrators were not charged just the home owners that the Govenor has said if she follows thru they will pardon the couple that was defending their home. This is going too far. I hope this is making sense.
It is hard to believe that Ethan is going into High School. He is really excited taking this next step. He is starting to talk about getting his driver license. That is what is really hard to believe. He is getting a little ahead of himself on the driving but he is getting excited.
I remember the strainer thing. They finally told Melissa to use coffee filters and they work really well. It was not hard to keep them in both bathrooms. It was strange but as long as it worked. I hope for Greg’s sake he passes the stones on his own. Melissa preferred then having to have any treatment done. I will keep praying for him.
How stupid was that for those people to wear swastikas on their masks. What are they trying to do start more trouble? What is the matter with people today.
Those temptation dishes sound really cute. The candy corn dishes make me think of my grandma. She always had candy corn at her house. She had it sitting on the table and we could eat as much as we wanted. Except when my mom caught us and she would make us quit.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi DD.
The smell on my jeans are like glue or the dye from the pants. I am going to try to wash them and see if the smell will come out of them. This is the first time that it has happened to me.
That is awful that you do not have central air. What type is it? That is not right that they will not let you have window air conditioners. I do not imagine that their homes are without air. You really do not need to be hot all summer.
This has been a hard time for stars. The ones who have passed were good actors and Regis was a good talk show host. He sure did love his family. He talked about them all the time. I also loved Olivia Dehavillon. She was good in Gone With the Wind and the one where she played Custers wife. I cannot remember the name of it. She always played such a gracious lady. John Saxon was a surprise. I had not heard that. I did not realize that he was that old. It is just sad.
I like the pictures that you posted. That would love to be on a beach and just wash the water. I am afraid of sharks so do not want to get the the water. I do not want to be a snack for one of them. Well I guess it would be a big family meal. lol
We went to Wal Mart the other day and people wore their masks into the store but took them off as they were shopping. I thought that was really stupid. Why would you do that. The people in the store never say anything just when you come in the door. They need to enforce their rule or do not make people wear them as they come in if they can take them off while shopping.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night and try to stay cool.

Hi Adele,
We probably should have drained the pool sooner. If it was the beginning of summer I would spend the money and refill it. It is too late in the summer to do that now. I would get it in and have to drain it all out next year.
The Angel is really pretty. It was so nice that she put it in the garden for you.She put it in the right spot. Your pesto sauce looks really good. Do you put that on the fresh tomatoes and cucumbers? It looks like it would be pretty good on them. We are getting a lot of fresh vegetables right now. I like this time of year when you want a fresh tomato you just go out to the garden and pick one. We have cucumbers and green onions and green peppers. Ron plants too many hot peppers and we will have them until late fall.
It is nice that they went to a bbq today. That probably took their minds off their mom’s death for a day. I hope that they had a really good day. They went to a bbq and Bobby fixed dinner for you. So you had a good day also.
This sounds like your day for accidents. I know what you mean about spilling oil. That is a mess and hard to clean. I do not know an easy way to clean it up.
That was my nieces husband. He jumped off the roof of a really high building and no one knows why. She is doing a lot better now and so is her son. The priest at her church really helped thru all of that.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night.
Colleen
p.s. thanks for the prayers for both her and Melissa.

Hi Adele,
Melissa has gotten kidney stones off and on since she was in high school. They just put the stents last year. She has only had them once and hopefully she will not have to go thru that again. I did not know that the stents were that painful. She had them blasted and had to pass them on her own. That is the best way when she can do it on her own.
I would like to see a picture of the Angel. I love Angels and I have a few but end up giving them away. I have given my one niece a couple of Angels after her husband committed suiside. She has a lot of them by now.When my mom died we gave her the Angels that mom had at her house.
We are using the filters that were recommended by the manufacturer. They are the c filter. We have decided to empty the pool and just forget about it for this year. We are deciding if we want to sell it or give it to one of the kids if they will take it.
I think that it is really cool that you can tell by the girls faces. I wish that I could. It would not have been such a big surprise when Brook got pregnant. Maybe we could have talked it all out.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and take care.
Colleen
