Saturday is always worth more than 12 points.
Neil started mulching today. Weeds be gone. We hope.

Day One Hundred Seventy Six 2010
Lunch With Vampires And Werewolves
I claimed the Edward Cullen cup, of course. Neil was stuck with Jane who glared at him the whole time with her piercing red eyes.
I chose Team Edward to scratch off my game piece, but no cigar. If I'd chosen Team Jacob, I'd have won a milkshake. Neil chose Team Jacob and lost. Team Edward would have gotten him a free cheese burger. Oh well. Life is full of choices. Hope the rest of your TGIF sparkles with possibilities. Choose wisely.
Neil and I had lunch at Burger King with Edward, Bella, and Jacob. There was more for us since vampires don't eat.

Day One Hundred Seventy Five 2010
Relief
Another storm rolled across our area again late this afternoon, bringing storm clouds of Biblical proportions.
Turned out to be more bluster than substance, dropping the temperature even more. Hooray for that. This crazy heat makes me long for Autumn days. Wishing everyone a calm evening as we head into TGIF.
Finally, some much needed rain around lunch time today. It blew in and back out pretty quickly, but it dropped the temperature enough to feel a big difference from the oppressive almost 100 degree heat we've been enduring the past several days.

Day One Hundred Seventy Four 2010
Blast From The Past ...
Granny And The Grand Kids: Self-Portrait. It ain't easy taking a picture of yourself and two squirmy kiddos, but here we are, three years ago. I'm always amazed by how much they've grown in such a short time. But I guess kid-time is really a lifetime. Happy middle of the week, everyone!
Grand daughter Shelby was already a little mermaid around this same time three years ago.

Day One Hundred Seventy Three 2010
Splash!
Elijah refused a flotation device and practiced submerging himself with his eyes open doing a dog paddle. He's used to swimming in a lake with a life jacket on. He was so proud that he could open his eyes under water.
These two are definitely water babies.
Shelby is a regular mermaid. She likes to jump off the diving board into the nine foot deep end. Elijah will get there, too, someday. We had a good time (especially after the crowd thinned out). As Shelby so bluntly put it: It's better than sitting at home watching TV. She's right, of course. I'm sure they'll want to do this again soon.
Neil took a half day off after lunch today, and we took the grand kids swimming at Echo Valley Pool. It was a nice hot day to be in the pool, which was crazy crowded with screaming kids.
