Happy July!
Summertime is here with a vengeance. Every day this week is 90+ degrees...even the birds have gone quiet.
Getting the house down to 70 degrees in the early morning seems to keep it comfortable most off the day without the air con on 24/7.
Taking today to finish the cleaning and such before my sister and her grand-daughter arrives Friday.
She is bringing lunch and I will be doing dessert...something with fresh strawberries.
John is doing much better...increasing weights during PT...driving a little...very positive.
So....I thought life was complete when McDonald's announced they had brought these back
But it was a cruel tease.
Although it was wonderfully crunchy (...like all things fried are...) it was not the fried apple pie of my youth.
(...sad emoji...)
Surface of the sun hot.
Blissfully crunchy.
But the filling has been modified...very little actual apple and a lot (too much) of cinnamon goo. Very cinnamony goo.
So close...but so far.
They did release a baked blueberry/cream cheese pie that smelled delicious and was fairly serviceable.
So...there is that.
The FREEDOM 250 (State Fair) has already been pretty much a bust...with Trump making it basically a MAGA rally and things breaking down.
(...who would have thought he would try to make it all about HIMSELF...)
But the Reflection Pool Memes have been lit...and even created a new drink.
Very creative.
Locally, we have fireplugs painted random patriotic symbols...
And they have 250 Celebration at our nearby park and a fireworks display.
Maybe we look to what has made this country great for 250 years...and not worry so much about an elderly man and his cult...who are (at best) temporary.
