Tuesday

Donna, to read older posts...there's an option that says older posts, and I hit that and scan from there. I write my comments in notepad, and then cut and pasted into the blog.

I agree that I was disappointed that Catherine was second on Dancing, but was really relieved that William didn't win. I think in the long run that's all I probably cared about. Donald sure had an interesting reaction to winning didn't he?

Margie, were you able to have that barbecue? I'm sure I've said this many times, but I am married to the only man in the universe who doesn't like to barbecue or even to eat it! My dad was an awesome griller, and is surely rolling in his grave over the fact that in my family the tradition has died!

Donna, I'm glad that the parade went off without a hitch, and that even though a lot of your friends didn't show you still had fun. Here it was really warm, and I did a bit of book dejunking. I have a lot more of that to do, but I was just plain worn out!

Mary, Elijah is good about drinking his milk, but he doesn't seem to like fruit. I'm not sure why that is, but I'm not a big fruit eater either! I'm not sure that The Good Father is out yet. I got an ARC from Fresh Fiction. It is by Diane Chamberlain. I really like her, and she doesn't seem to let me down. Glad you and hub had a date night. Mike and I went to lunch on Sunday, and to me it just wasn't that great. Because of his diabetes we tend to go to buffets where he can eat a lot of protien and little carb. We went to Golden Corral, and it just seems to have really gone downhill. For what it cost we could have had a nice lunch at someplace like Outback, so I think in the future he'll have to suck it up, and we'll go to a "better" place.

Donna, I hope you enjoy the new books. I know I bought a book or two over the weekend, but they're for my Kindle. I took the money I got from Half Price books and bought a g.c. to Amazon.

Trudy, so sorry to hear about the AC woes. We've had to tear up the concrete slab of our house twice in the years we lived there! The second time they couldn't even give me a good estimate because they couldn't get a camera down the line. I said just guess...best case, and worst case. I guess it was fortunate for us we came in right about the middle. Hope you can get a good deal and some sort of payment plan worked out.

What a nice thing you did for your grandson. I don't know that I would have thought of if after your son treated you so shabbily. Did you get much rain? We got some yesterday, but I have no clue how much, but this close to summer every little bit is good. We're on water restrictions for watering.

Amanda, how was Grandma? Did you get a lot of Nora's book read? Are you enjoying it? A friend is reading it, and not finding it too great. I have to admit I didn't like it as much as I did the first either. I'm really looking forward to the concluding book. I like Hope.

I'm getting totally jealous. It seems like everyone but me has been to The Grand Canyon. I would love to go, but haven't a clue when or if that can come to fruition.

On Sunday I went and bought groceries. I hemmed and hawed about it because I'm not going to be home much this week, and thought they could just eat from the freezer and pantry. Thankfully I did. As I was pushing the cart to the car I noticed that my one tire was bulging. It was also thankfully on the driver side, so I would notice, because to be honest I don't pay much attention to the passenger side. Ended up at Firestone getting two new tires as soon as I had the groceries put up. Mike's car also was due for an inspection, so when we picked up mine we dropped off his.

As I might have said earlier...I have decided to get rid of the ton of books I have and haven't read. I'm slowly working my way through the boxes. I took a bunch of them to Half Price Books where luckily they give cash. I then converted that cash into a g.c. for Amazon, so I can buy whatever, but mostly books for my kindle. I'm keeping the autographed stuff, but otherwise I think it's all going.

I'm also working on getting Mike to dejunk. That's a harder process. We'll see how it goes. Brian says he cleared a bit, but I haven't looked in his room to find out.

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
