Good Evening, Flowers! Today is the longest day (for hours of daylight) of the year, right? It is humid here although not too hot. Tomorrow is supposed to be back in the 90s. I'd just as soon get the hot weather over with before school starts . . . in my dreams anyway. I went to the grocery store this morning and have been getting food ready for tomorrow ever since. We are taking turkey filets to grill, potatoes to grill, a grape salad, hot dogs, veggies, chips, and a chocolate sheet cake made with buttermilk. Not too WW friendly, but I needed something large for all the people that will be there for two meals.
"Gma" -- Boy, you had some nightmare for sure! I don't have them very often; in fact, I don't think I dream very often or else I just don't remember them. The hand bag looks wonderful! That is funny about the button. Is the yarn varigated or did you have to change colors as you went along? Jackson sure is a cutie. I wish babies would stay little and cuddly like that just a bit longer. They grow up much too quickly. It's too bad you don't live closer to Jay and his family.
Gloria -- WOW!!!!! Your family certainly knows how to put on a celebration!! What wonderful memories for you to cherish! A limo ride, CDs, a cookbook, fancy food -- I am amazed! I do think the best part was Catalina's question about having babies after you repeated your vows. That is a classic! When is your anniversary in Sept.? Our's is the 3rd.
Speaking of being frustrated . . . I also made a WM run this morning. It was about 11:30 and they were busy. I always park and go in the north door because the grocery part is in the south end of the store and I rarely get groceries there. Anyhow, I ended up getting more than I anticipated and headed towards a north end check out only to find none were open. There are two self service lines in the south end of the store and all of the other south check outs were open with lines of people waiting. I followed another lady who had about the same amount that I did and while we were saying how much we hated WM, an employee came up and told us to go to the self service check out. I looked at her and said I don't work for WM and stayed where I was, and so did the other lady. Finally another employee came and opened another check out lane. When I finally got to the car -- I park clear out and away from all the other junk cars, a junk car came roaring up beside me and a dirty, ratty looking guy gave me the hard luck story about being homeless and he didn't have money for gas, etc. There was a pack of cigarettes in the seat beside him and I noticed that the back seat didn't have anything in it for being homeless. I just said I didn't give handouts. I'm so glad it was broad daylight -- I've never had that happen before. It was a bit unnerving for sure.
Have a nice evening and a relaxing Sunday! We will spend the day at MIL's -- 8 adults and 6 kids under 5 . . . sounds busy to me!
Jean -- from Iowa!
