Yep......in the mid-100's for the heat index today....as it has been for the past 9 days. And, this is only the last week of June!!
Our daughter, Dr. Jeni, and our three grandchildren, Meghan, Ava, and Max.....left about mid-morning today for their home.....AND, their swimming pool. HAHA...I do not think that running around in the water sprinkler and using the "slip/slide" was a good enough substitute for the little ones. They are used to using the pool daily......
Yesterday....we spent the late morning in the yard....using the sprinkler and the kids enjoying it, but tired of throwing themselves onto the ground to slip/slide was just a bit boring, I'm afraid. The kids were wonderful these three days.....Meghan is growing up, calming down....and little Ava and Max....well, they are sooo good for their ages. All three are growing....and it is just a great joy to have them here with us!!!!!!!!!
This week has really flown by so quickly.....tomorrow being Friday....and the weekend here already. Of course....being retired, everyday is part of a weekend, isn't it??? Next week....July!!!
I am saddened this evening by the death of Michael Jackson. As I wrote on Facebook.....it is a very sad day......the loss of an incredibly gifted musician, entertainer, dancer, perfectionist, and world-wide pop music star. Eccentric, unique, odd, controversial, one-of-a-kind, and a very troubled person........but yet, a man who influenced our culture with his wonderful, unbelievable music performances! Yes.......a very sad day for all music lovers.
As we "sit" here this summer in the stick and brick, we are both getting cabin fever. We normally would be traveling where it would be more pleasant weather-wise....and are not particularly enjoying staying here for the summer. Hopefully, we will be able to get things completed as far as the storm damages being repaired so that we can go out west to the mountains for a bit of trout fishing in late August. The RV may not be repaired by that time, however......it is not damaged in any way that would prevent us from going..and then getting the repairs done when we return the end of September. I SURE do hope it works out.....just need to get away for a few weeks!!!!!!!!
We would have been going to South America...Peru....in September had it not been for the storm....but, as I have stated before....it has set back all of our traveling plans for an out of the country adventure. Soooo, we are in the discussion process of just when we will make a trip....and it may have to wait until April of next year....???
Well......I have the water sprinklers on....as the heat is just sapping our plants, bushes, and grass with the intense hot sun and few clouds bearing down on these yard plantings. And...the buzzer is now telling me to turn these sprinklers off, so I will close this uninteresting post for the evening.
As always..........
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
