Monday, July 31, 2023 Mostly sunny, Humid Slight Breeze Hot 88 Degrees 3:41 p.m.

It is Monday, the last day of July. It is also a bit cooler then last week. People are out walking their dogs, kids just go off the school bus, and things seems normal once again.

Saturday we had a thunderstorm that was loud, bringing a downpour that filled the birdbath and then some, producing lots of water for the grass, flowers, trees and shrubs. We had no damage here but several places had down trees, limbs, and flooding. If we flood it will come in the front door and so far we have not flooded. I am so thankful.

Saturday we, Tina, Tammy, Jerry, Dottie and I, went to the theater and saw “Oppenheimer”. It was very good for the most part. The story was about the invention that he and fellow scientists made, the Hydrogen Bomb. All were expecting more of the roll that Oak Ridge and Nevada, among other states, made in that project. The Manhattan Project! But the story was more about him and his primary place in New Mexico. The movie would have been better had they left the nudity, sex and bad language out. Where there was so much history being told that would of been useful to many students turned out to be not for children due to the sex stuff, which didn’t have anything to do with the basic story.

Sunday was a busy day. Pamela and her husband Jerry came over. He put our new “pantry” together for us and both Tina and I appreciate that so much. Then I texted Jerry and told him all my problems, actually just the dryer vent duck hose that had a whole in it and that I was trying to repair, and also the door that was crooked on the pantry which Jerry Ford could get to work right either. My Jerry worked on it and finally said that he would have to research the problem as something wasn’t gelling. Tina said to get a saw and cut one end off. I said maybe switch doors or turn one of them upside down. He said no to both great ideas.

My Jerry then took on the project of the dryer hose and got it repaired properly. Today I was able to wash and dry clothes. Laundry done for the week, I hope. All worked splendidly. I am so happy!

I am praying that the wild fire that is burning in the borders of California and Nevada, close to Nipton, is soon put out and no one is hurt. Last I heard highway 164 was closed, meaning that no one can get from I-15 through to Highway 95. That was early this morning.

Quote of the day: “At our age, forget this natural ingredients, We need all the artificial color and preservatives we can get.” My Calendar

Have a great Monday. Make it a safe, productive, active, cool and fun day.
