Good Afternoon, Flowers!
It's a beautiful day in my neighborhood -- sunny, bright blue sky, a few puffy white clouds, NO wind, and low humidity! The air conditioner is "off" for the 3rd day in a row. I hope this weather holds until the middle of Sept. when fall arrives.
I'm spending my day putting my house back together and doing laundry. We go for months and never have overnight company, then have 3 different ones stay in 4 nights. I'm thankful for my washer and dryer!
Yesterday went well and the weather was nice at MIL's lake. The birthday girl needed a nap in the worst way but wouldn't give up. Next on the agenda is getting DH ready to leave, Thursday evening, for a week in Canada.
I start back to school tomorrow so need to get my stuff together and decide what to wear. . .something comfortable as we will be sitting in meetings all day. Same type of stuff we wade through every fall and are very capable of reading to ourselves instead of having it read to us. *sigh*
"Gma" -- That is too bad about your salad going to waste! I wish we were neighbors and you could have "shared" with us! I do think that kids today are way smarter than our kids were at the same age. I bought some puzzles quite awhile ago: numbers, the alphabet, and shapes. Ian has done the numbers and shapes for quite awhile but I just got the alphabet one out this time. The letters are in the primary colors, which he knows also. It took two times with DH "helping" him and now he can put the right letter in the right spot in nothing flat. He doesn't know all the names but he can sing the alphabet song like a champ. You are way ahead of the 'last minute rush' if you have packed most of your things already. Maybe our cooler weather will head in your direction. It is so nice here the last couple days. . .probably the lull before another heat wave rolls in.
I need to get busy! Hope you are having a marvelous Monday today!
