Never got the promised rain, but it was cooler today.

I was home all day.   Mary came to clean and Nate mowed the lawn.   The rest of the day, I sewed and cleaned.   Tomorrow is Barbara's birthday.    The kids and their families will be there.   I am making the Birthday Cake.

Til tomorrow

I was home all day except for a quick hop to the bank.

It was nice.   Nicky really liked it.  He is my shadow and does not approve of my leaving unless he gets to come along.

It was actually cooler today, but with prospects of rain, the humidity made things rather stuffy.   No breeze doesn't help.

But I am spoiled, as I like to be, and can stay where it is cool, in my little house.

Yesterday, I was lazy and did not post.  Bart stopped by with Adria and Abby in the afternoon.   A pleasant break and so nice to have company.    Several years ago, I wrote a children's and Abby has volunteered to illustrate it for me.   Am I blessed or WHAT!

Temps are up again, but not as bad as the past week.   The rain yesterday made my yard look very happy.

I went to Mass and Bible study today.    Very nice.    We pray for everybody, of course.   So consider yourselves Blessed.   Along with special intentions.

I did some quilting and some research today.      Tomorrow I am taking the car in for service.   Don't want to have to buy a new one.   

Until tomorrow.

We had rain!!!   The temps were much more tolerable.   Most of the day it was in the mid 70s.

Of course ---- it started raining AFTER I had turned on the sprinklers, so I had to go out and get wet to turn them off.   But what a blessing.

I had people come over to help me and now can copy and scan from my printer and in less than two weeks will be able to listen to music and watch cds and tapes.   Yee haa.

Aside from that we are moving ahead with the sale of the condo and will close before the end of September.   Another Yee Haa.

Almost the whole day at Holy Family on the first Sunday of every month.     I find it rather confusing.    The rite consists of a LOT of chanting.   I like the music, but it is presented to us in such a confused way. 

Anyway, it is interesting to experience.

I worked on quilting and other such projects.   I did reset my hoses as I want to start watering in the mornings as long as it is so hot and we are not getting rain.
