It is promising to be another warm one today; it's 72 degrees with 73% humidity as I type. They are predicting high 80s with thunderstorms this afternoon. We'll see . . . . . . .
I need to run a couple errands as soon as I am finished here. The powers-to-be are resurfacing streets around town and it's a real challenge to get anywhere. Why they tore them all apart at once is beyond me!
I think Leonard is feeling better . . . DH says he isn't quite so pale this morning!
The new food is staying down and "in!"Maggie -- So far Maggie hasn't been on the new stove. She is the only one who would be likely to go across it. A friend of mine said that when she finishes using her stove, she will put a pan on whatever burner is hot, as a reminder that it is hot. She has a snoopy cat too!
Stay cool today! Good luck at WI - I'm sure you will show a loss! 
I am off to officially get my day going. Have a terrific Thursday, Flowers!

It's a nice 73 degrees with lower humidity so maybe the air conditioner will stay off today. We are going to babysit this afternoon and evening. I can hardly wait to see Ian' new tricks! 
We used to alternate am classes one time and pm classes the next. But some of the teachers complained they didn't like that because it threw their schedule off between classes if they taught the same subject. I can appreciate that; most think doing away with the half day would be the way to go.

Well, that goes for me ~ I can't speak for any of you for you may have good sense all the time.
Time flies as it is and doesn't need any help from me.
Ian's mom said he would be sleepy and ready for a bottle by 8. Yeah right! I think he got his 2nd wind and didn't finally give up until 10:15 when he just couldn't keep his eyes open any longer. He was good so we had a marvelous time spoiling him! 
I don't know where the summer has gone but it's gone by much too fast!

party this evening and all the stuff for it has been being delivered here. The baloons will arive about 3:30. Hope he is surprised! It won't be because we didn't try. Later today Will is to call him and ask him over to help him do something. Trouble is though...we are on a flood watch in these foothills for low lying areas and to get to Joe's house are some very low areas in the unpaved road. Hope he and his wife can get out to come here. We may just have all the party things and a party without the 
The wedding, yesterday, was a strange one. We got there 20 minutes early and there were no ushers nor anyone else sitting in the church. I knew it wouldn't be a big wedding but didn't think we would be the first ones there. The box of programs was sitting in the back pew so we just took one and seated ourselves. There were 4 ushers and when they did show up, they just stood by the door and pointed to empty pews for whichever side the guest wanted to sit on. They finally did escort the grandmothers and mothers down the aisle. Afterwards we talked to a couple of the bridesmaids that we knew, and they said nothing was organized so no one knew what they were doing or when they were supposed to do it. We opted out of the reception since most of the guests were obviously family and we didn't know anyone else. 
We are invited to a wedding next week, down in Mexico! But we are not going. Our AZ nephew is getting married there; they chose the place because they attended some sort of business meeting there and really liked it. When DH is in Canada (assuming baby has come) he'll go to a ceremony where the couple is being married on the lakeshore by the resort where they all stay. This year's fishing trip is the "family" year and the agents can take wives and girl friends. With no mall, and nothing to do except fish, cook, and clean the cabin, that's not my idea of a vacation! 
As long as I sort them on top of the washer, in a good light, I can match them up pretty well.
I did find a couple things for when it gets cold and the snow flies. I had lunch with Jason so it wasn't a total waste of time.
