After one day of sunshine...yes...it is BACK to raining!
And you have to love the lawn crew that showed up and did their thing immediately...even trimming the trees. THAT is dedication and timing.
Frankly, I am amazed that the Dixie Choppers didn't get stuck out back like some horrible La Brea Tar Pits parody.
We have had a LOT of water.
NPB is a mudhole right now.
On the bright side:
1. I live on a hill...no flooding.
2. I can't even remember the last time I had to water the patio garden...who is loving this heat, humidity and rain.
I am hoping I can get my beans replanted and some flowers out by the end of the month...and weed the borders without sinking into the mud.
John, not so fortunate, had some basement flooding earlier.
Now resolved.
Gizzy was not amused.
"Why is there water where I keep all my STUFF???"

"Wake me when it STOPS!!!"

And Sofi's latest game. The MONSTER behind the monitor.
She has started hiding behind my laptop at night while I'm watching a film...and then this paw snakes out from the back. Not the whole cat...just a reaching...grasping paw.

I've received a bunch of the pictures from Chris and Tina's Wedding. Still sorting through them.
And another of my favorites...The Throwing of The Garter.
"And here is the wind-up...and there's the pitch!"
We made a great kid...with just a few parts lying around the house.
He has started the Summer Semester now...and popped by the other night happy and excited about his new classes!
Also with some news.
He and Tina may be buying our old house!!!
The one he grew up in.
They qualify for a First Homeowner's Loan and the guy who owns it now is making repairs and is very motivated to sell.
They are thrilled!
Three Bedrooms...so there is plenty of room for them, a computer room, and (when the time comes) a nursery!
So happy for them.
Lennon has made a full recovery from a bug that had him pretty ill at the beginning of the week. Back to work, and working on a new Lego Project.
Pictures soon!
James has a Zombie Puppy.
Last weekend Ayra (the female pup) bolted her food and ended up choking...literally to death.
No heartbeat, no respiration, nothing...dead.
Quickly grabbing her he and Nicole managed to get the food out, perform CPR...and get her restarted again!
They took her to the vet immediately and kept her there in an oxygen box all weekend...but she appears to have made a full recovery.
She does seem to know he saved her, and has been pretty velcro'd to him since she has returned home.
Thanos is getting huge!
Going to be a BEAST of a Pocket Bully.
The Book This Week:
A time capsule of the essence of HGB in the time of Betty Friedan...and a time of men who believed woman should be seen and not heard...and certainly not openly sexual!
Excellent, inspirational read!
The Movie of the Week:
Although, I really wanted to see Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones appear in a cameo in this...and sadly, they did not...Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson really pulled this off...as well as exposing another generation to MIB.
Well done, nice plot, characters you really could get involved with...nice Hollywood ending.
Couldn't ask for much more.
Only WEEKS now until Rose and Idgy's Summer Adventure.
2018 Spring Adventure
We have opted for Olive Garden and Tiramisu for our combined birthday celebration.
"Flaming Tiramisu!"
(which, admittedly sounds like an Italian Rock Band)
Also a trek to Hobby Lobby together, and more.
Can't wait.
And only DAYS until Our (John and I) June Getaway...and a visit with Loretta...and Part Deux of Our Coconut Retreat (...with Hot Tub and Pina Coladas...)
Life is good!
Thanks to James and his tattoo guy...Lisa, Tina and I have our matching sisters tattoos scheduled for next weekend!
And Sisters Day!
Have a good one...
More Anon.
It's Summer
