A beautiful late August Summer day. I find it hard to believe that the kids are back in school and not out enjoying the summer sunshine. Here, the kids have been back in school for a week or more. when I was in school, a day or two ago, school went back in session the day after Labor Day. Classes started at 9:00 a.m. and we were out by 3:00 p.m. Now they start at 6:45 or earlier and get out between 1 and 4 p.m. the classes are staggered as are the start and end times. The bus picks kids up here at 6:00 a.m., again at 6:30 a.m. and again around 7:00 a.m. The buses have a big light on top of the bus and that is usually our alarm clock as it reflects in the upstairs bedroom windows. It is much nicer then a ringing or buzzing alarm clock.

This morning Tina and I went grocery shopping. This was the big shopping for the month, with the exception of milk, bread, etc. We stuck to our list and added only sale items for stocking up. We were at Walmart as we thought that would be the cheapest. It wasn’t cheap, believe me. Yes, everything has gone up and up and up. We bought bread flour so that will help with the bread. I am not complaining and am very thankful that we can afford groceries as so many can’t. However, I can’t seem to understand why getting the brands we want aren’t available but the same thing is in the store brand and there is a fair amount of it? And not everything is the same quality so that excuse doesn’t fly with me. Just wondering.

Today is game day so am ready for Pamela to beat me at Yahtzee or maybe Scatagories. I am hoping for Scatagories for a change. Her and Tina both prefer Yahtzee. I thnk they have the dice trained.

Quote of the day: “The church is supposed to be a hospital for sinners, not a hotel for saints.” My calendar

Have a wonderful rest of your day. Make is sunny, pleasant, adventurous and fun.
