It's promising to be another hot 90+ degree day in my corner of the world. I know the electric bill will be a big one next time! I thought I had posted yesterday but see I didn't. It was my coffee date in the afternoon and don't even remember what I did in the morning. 
It couldn't have been too exciting."Gma" -- I hope your slacks arrive today.
I don't use a pattern for the afghan; I just measure the bed and/or guesstimate for the person that I'm making it for. I don't blame Jack for wanting to keep the same hours year around. We have the same controversy every fall when the bell choir director wants to vote for playing part of the time at second service. Those of us who go to first, vote no, and mainly because we don't like sharing the space with the dog and pony show as well as the time element. If we play second service we usually leave as soon as we play. That leaves a few less ringers, and men, to help put the stuff away. Last year we played all first services and the second service ringers were in a snit. Susan -- I always thought the stomach was in the middle too.
As long as there is a breeze (wind) the heat isn't too bad. They also only last an hour, I don't think I could sit through a "normal" timed football game since I don't like football in the first place. I should look for a "Football for Dummies" and maybe I could follow the plays better. We also sit in lawn chairs so it would be easier to keep track of Ian from bleachers. Have fun this afternoon! I need to call my computer guy so need to get that done. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
for those mean folks like to target those types of places. 
today again. That is just summer in Memphis I guess.
It was trickle down effect messing with everything else so I had to work on it and fix the darn thing then go back and work on vacation money too. On top of that, I would add our "cash" money for vacation, subtract our credit card allowable amount (this is for the cruise ship, which requires a credit card to charge anything purchased on the ship from drinks to food to gifts, etc. ) but I forgot to add that amount into our total vacation budget so I kept coming up short on how much money we had to spend on vacation. We only use our bank card for the hotels, food and gas. We take cash money for excursions and shopping off the ship so no one can steal our money or identity from our bank card. As I said, we only use the credit card for purchases on the ship as that is what they require and I come back home and pay it back off so we don't get charged the interest. I was so afraid Jack was going to be mad, and I contacted him by text and explained we were going to have to go cheap hotels as I screwed up. He read them, but never answered back so I was sure he was peeved with me. I then discovered why stuff wasn't adding up correctly, breathed a sigh of relief but was really upset he was mad at me. Well, he wasn't. He read the texts but was on a job and couldn't answer me back for a couple hours. Bottom line, we went back through it all last night, decided to advance pay hotels at this stage of the game because if something happens now that we can't go, we lose all the money, cruise, drink packages, excursions the whole nine yards so I told him why worry about it. I saved us nearly $300 doing an advance pay on a senior rate and changed 3 of the hotels to a better situation. I now have hotels that all offer either free hot breakfast buffet or cooked to order free breakfast and all are suites so even though it is just one night, we have more room. Big 
I have my sweater drying and being blocked and my hands need another knitting project so think I will try and get that scarf done. I also have a pair of socks for myself on needles that have just been sitting waiting for me to finish them.
Planning a cruise sounds like a chore to me. But in reality it isn't so much different than planning a cross country treck except on a cruise you have to pay for so much more up front. Hope you have as much fun this time as you did last cruise. I imagine you have learned a lot from that last one.
Also need to put together a grocery list for food this weekend. All the grandkids have games on Labor Day so the cabin weekend will be short this year. I called to check on Momma cat and she is adjusting to her new home just fine. I was sure she would and I'm so glad! They kept her in their bathroom for the first few days and then left the door open so the rest of the menagerie could visit. She is tiny and still a bit timid but will jump up on the bed and sit with the gal as she reads at night.
There is another Mexican restaurant getting ready to open and someone set fire to it the other night. Our school district is 82% nonwhite according to the registration information. 
Tomorrow is the opening day for dove season. 
I like Oprah so thought maybe it would be a good one although I didn't think Bob would enjoy it as much. Wow! I can't begin to imagine how much sewing stuff Sandy must have! You are a good friend to help her pack. Will she be moving closer to you? 
to Will! I hope he enjoys his new gun. You don't shoot doves, do you? We have several pairs who feed on our deck. There were storms predicted last night and Bob stayed up late to watch the radar on tv; he said it split just to the west of us so the rain went around. The rain gauge said we got .03 which is better than nothing I guess. We did get enough wind to blow leaves off the trees. I hope you have your new printer soon.
Wish you could share your rain with us!
