Day Two Hundred Eight 2013

Beautiful Saturday to be sitting on the front porch, reading a novel and being lazy. Pretty peaceful, until the mosquitoes smelled warm blood. The bug repellent works OK. If only I could spray my head and face with it. I wonder which is worse: contracting a deadly virus from skeeter bites, or inhaling the poison that’s supposed to drive them away. Oh well. Back to my book. Inside.

Wishing my sister Jane and her husband Don a very happy 28th wedding anniversary today! Love you!!

Day Two Hundred Seven 2013

Elijah was telling his grandpa all about his day while Shelby browsed the ice cream flavors at Cream City this afternoon. They survived their abbreviated first week back at school. Celebrating that and the fact that it’s Friday. Happy TGIF, everyone! Hope yours included something cold and sweet.

Day Two Hundred Six 2013

Back To School



First full day of classes for granddaughter Shelby and grandson Elijah. They come to my house after school and hang out until their mom gets off work. These two are growing up so fast. Shelby is in 7th grade and Elijah is in 2nd grade this year. [I enjoy learning new things, but I’m glad I don’t have to go to school.]

Day Two Hundred Five 2013

Today was the last day of summer break for granddaughter Shelby and grandson Elijah [and the rest of the students and teachers in this county]. Last day of freedom for a while. I treated them to a D.Q. ice cream cone, either to celebrate their last day in the sun or to mourn the beginning of classes. Nobody needs a reason to enjoy a frozen summertime treat. Summer break is simply way too short here in our neck of the woods. Maybe somebody will do something about that one of these days.
