A beautiful, humid, hot last day of June. All are preparing for a long weekend. Grills are being readied for the hamburgers and hot dogs, last minute shoppers filling the supermarkets looking for the perfect food to complete their holiday menu. Highways and Byways are busy with cars and trailers and trucks pulling boats and camping trailers. The beaches are filling up and the hotels and motels are ready to welcome their guests. The airports are bustling with travelers flying to far destinations like Las Vegas or Miami, New York or Paris. National parks are waiting for the summer campers and praying that all goes smoothly. Fire danger is high again this year.

We are not among the crowds going to far off places. We will be doing a bit of grocery shopping and a bit of preparing for Tammy, Dottie, Tina and I to do some artistic painting on Saturday. Just letting the Rembrandt that we keep hidden escape for the afternoon. Sunday is church on the television and then again on line. The afternoon is probably just staying in and keeping cool. The 4th of July I am not sure about as yet. But I do have a patriotic top to wear and the flag is out waving in the breeze.

Quote of the day: Look not for beauty, nor hew of skin, but look for the heart that lays within; Beauty may fade and the skin grow old, but a heart that is true will never grow cold.

Have a wonderful, cool, safe, healthy and fun rest of your Thursday. If you are among those hitting the highways and byways, be safe and have a wonderful 4th of July. Appreciate the reason for this holiday.

Blessings

It has been another full day. I am not sure what all I accomplished but I have been busy all day. I managed to get two stories written and that took most of my day. Also had to work on getting pictures that I wanted to use onto my stories but that didn’t work. the pictures are on the computer but I can’t seem to get to them. They are behind some sort of security thing and I can’t find the correct password that I need. It is not the one I assigned to it. GRRRRRRRRR!

Pamela came over this evening and helped me with a couple things I wanted to accomplish. We didn’t play games tonight as she is leaving for the long weekend. No games until next week. She is a good player and we do have fun. Scatagories is a challenge for both of us. Some letters go well with the questions and some defiantly do not. We do have fun.

Have a great rest of your day. Make it pleasant and prosperous, positive and pretty and, of course, fun.

I am really late this evening. Pamela came over and we played games She won the Yahtzee game and I won the Scattagoris Game. It was fun. Plus, today was laundry day and that always takes awhile to get it all done. Of course I didn’t get started until late.

It has been a rather warm day and the humidity is creeping back in. time to stay indoors. Tina is at work so has to go out in the humidity from house to car then car to building then building to car and then car to house. What a circle. At least she works in an air conditioned building.

New people moved in down the street. The had a big truck that left the trailer, I think a form of a pod, and they have spend all day emptying it and putting stuff in the house. I felt so bad for them having to do all that in the heat. Finally this afternoon a couple of guys came and helped with the big stuff, furniture. I imagine she will spend a month or two getting it all put where she wants it and where it will fit. I guess I should say they will. they have two cute little dogs that she walks a couple times a day. There is a small en-closer type yard that the dogs can go out in but need a walk for good exercise.

Now to go watch something on TV.

Quote of the day: Tending the Grass: “The grass is not in fact always greener on the other side of the fence” writes Robert Fulghum in IT WAS ON FIRE WHEN I LAY DOWN ON IT. (vILLARD BOOKS): Fences had nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.”

Have a great rest of your evening. Make it sweet and calm and cool and fun.

Monday, June 27, 2022 Partly Sunny Breezy Maybe Rain Later 85 Degrees 3:19 p.m.

I am early today but totally missed Friday as we got home a bit late and were wore out from heat and muggy, stifling air. We were at Dottie’s and then decided to do some shopping on the way home. That was a mistake ad when we got out of the store it was so stuffy hot and muggy that it simply made us wilt. I think we were both a bit sick from it. The news said that it was 96 I believe.

Dottie cut my hair and she did a wonderful job. She went to barber collage so knows how to cut hair and do it right. She is a keeper. That lady has several talents and is good at them all. She sure makes a mean cobbler. We were there for dinner last evening and she made black and blue berry cobbler. It was so good. We also had fresh green beans and potatoes, corn bread, meat loaf and corn. A very good meal. Great company also. Jerry, Tammy, Tina, Dottie and myself.

We drove home in and out of the rain. Finally, after I went to bed, we had a good rain storm complete with thunder and lightening and lots of rain. We needed it. There is a chance we will get more this evening and that would be wonderful as the lawns really need it. The farmers and ranchers are also in need of some good rain. I pray that the western part of this great nation will soon get rain as I know had badly it is needed there. I can’t imagine Lake Mead so low. That is so scary. I know that there are prayer meetings and vigils going on concerning the water shortage out west. I am in that group. I may live in Tennessee but I am still a Native Nevadian.
