Almost 4th of July and Randy's birthday today as well. We went to Chili's for lunch yesterday and on the way home I started feeling a little sick. By night time I had cramping and was up during the night with diarrhea so thinking it was something I ate there, but can't prove it. Randy said he was having gastro-intestinal problems as well. Haven't talked to Robert yet today. Still very hot and humid and people are still cleaning up from the storms Thursday night. They said that over 80,000 people lost power but that most are restored now. Hope you all are able to keep cool and that SAR isn't overdoing it.

that is one of the major reasons I do not like to eat out anymore, it is much better and safer to prepare your own food, but it is so nice to "go out " to grab a meal! Happy Birthday to Randy! we a few more more b days this month .. sure hope I don;t forget! lol! GG and Jul777 and someone else we know! and Kona's Bruce my Anniversary is this month too, hope I get through it with a smile for the 30 plus yrs we shared! it looks like a storm is fixing to roll through so I will check my mails and get off here for a while. more days of un relentling heat.. OH the news in Cleveland.. they stopped a terrorist attack planed on the 4th the parade and fireworks!.. guess he planned a bunch of horrible things..just one was remote control cars given out to kids alone the route and having them timed to explode!!! and he talked of chopping off hands and heads of infidels!!!! so glad he was caught!

Wow Sar, I'm glad the planned terrorist attack was stopped! What is wrong with some people!!??!! So sorry to hear about the kitties. PL, that was very nice of your neighbours. Yes, our basement is low, bigger than a crawl space, but it was hard on the guys working under there. Their legs and backs were sore. It might be higher than 4 ft, I'm 5ft 2 inches and in some places between the floor beams I can stand up without bumping my head. It has been so hot here with high humidity. There were lots of Canada Day celebrations on Sunday. I don't know how the people stood the heat to go to them, but they did. Billy had the holiday off yesterday so we went for a little drive in the side by side and that was even too hot to do. I need to get the lawn mowed but it's going to be extra hot all week! Friday is my best bet, there could be a few light showers but hopefully I can get it done before it does . Yes Sar, that time of year is coming up again, and it happened on your birthday. That is wonderful that your friends are having a birthday party for you! I hope you have a lot of fun. I'll be thinking of you, and of course my Gabby on that day. Stay cool everyone and have a great day. No work going on here today, too hot, and besides that my brother-in-law (one of our carpenters) miscalculated the steel roofing so I have to go to the building supply store today and order some more.

I've finally played with the bobcat enough to actually START the grading I need to do. Came in for lunch and that was all she wrote -- just too blamed hot. And I was sick from the heat after the pool party on Sunday. Grandson's 10th birthday. I got the inflatable bull float... either Mike whispered inspiration in my ear or I still know 10 yr old boys. The adults were worn out too - it's a group participation thing. Handles all around the inner tube with the bull sitting proud in the middle. Well it was hard to get on from being in the water, so the boys decided to "indian mount" - jumping over the rump. LOL... had some winners who stayed on 8 seconds. 4 hours of that and I was ready to come home...
actually felt woozy on the ride back - my D drove. She'll be around some the rest of the summer. Long story. Who knows what crazy things we'll get up to.

CSue we have the heat ..still... sorry you do too! so glad you have Billy but know you will look back and reminisce on that day.. and Gabby will smile! SJ glad you had a good time... and it might be a good thing, you D will be there a bit???!!! well ladies, I had a big busy day... got a text at about 6:30.. a mare I have been watching on line was about to give birth, then another text and the neighbor was going to get gas.. would get my can filled.. ok so I threw on clothes , taped month on the can and put it in front of the tractor. then my GF called she was coming to get me and we would go to another GF and SWIM!... I have not been swimming for 25 yrs ..last time was in our pool and that was 25 yrs ago! I really had a good time, we did lunch, we cried, we laughed and we were silly school girls for a few hrs. I m glad I went. got a sunburn even though I tried to be so careful. got home, fed the babies, chatting with Paula, talked with the furnace guy.... thinking he'll start next week, fed babies again, showered and finally on here, house kitties acting like I abandoned them, as I never leave and there was no mommie all day! lots of booms around here tonight... a lot of places having fireworks. I used to go outside and watch about 4-5 displays in the distance, but last yr I came face to face with a coyote, so I am inside tonight!. I am very tired but trying to get through mail and posting. stay safe everyone Happy 4th!

It's suppose to get to 95 today so over 100 with heat index. A little cool down by Saturday though, as it will only be a high of 83! Hope you all are careful in this heat. Watered plants and pinched this morning but otherwise I'm staying inside today! SAR, wonderful that you got to visit and swim! It's probably at least 12 years since I was in water. Hope your power stayed on after the short outages. Sacajawea when I read the first few words of your post I thought you meant a FELINE bobcat. LOL I hope you are better now from the heat sickness. CSue, hope your steel roofing came in so they can finish, although I can't imagine working on it in the severe heat. Cheers to all!

Hi Honies! Im home!
I did have a very nice time and really enjoyed my self, turns out I knew several ladies that were there... and a corny guy sat at our table and we had a riot, .. when he left he hugged me and that was a the first good "man" hug I got since Dan.. I felt it was from Dan (as he did not hug any other ladies).... I could feel him(Dan) there whispering to me..you got this!
so it was a good first outing. I get home and in the mail I got a letter from Hospice.. saying you just past the 6 month anniversary and you might need counseling .. then produced a list if that fit you, you need to go to the 6 week grief course. I think I;m good. but thanks!
on Monday I need to call Chase. I got a refund check ..I always over pay, just rounding it off, or sometimes when I know I am going to make a purchase I might send more before I am billed.. well the letter with the check said this check is a refund requested mid billing cycle..? I did not request, and if that looked at payment history I always carry a small credit balance. so I need to call. also got more forms to fill out to mail in, for utilities.. to get Dans name off and into my name. I sure do not understand as long as bills are paid.
all in all a good day! I did not cry!

SAR, so glad you got to get out and enjoy yourself. Good stress relief and distraction. Hoping since today is your birthday it will be as good as yesterday. I resisted counseling and support groups for quite awhile after Ryan passed but I'm glad I finally did both after a point because it CAN help many people. As far as charge cards, I try not to use mine any more than I have to and then when the bill comes pay it off in full. I prefer using checks or cash whenever possible because it's easier to keep track of. It's cooled off here for a couple of days and I was able to open doors to get fresh air the last two mornings. Too bad the heat and humidity is probably coming back! Went to Big Lots for the 20 percent off anything in the store weekend yesterday that they seem to do about every 3 months. Nice to stock up on certain things on those days. Hope you are all having a good Sunday!

No PL, it's been too hot for the guys to put the steel roofing on. This week is going to be hot too, so it won't get done. We got warnings about hurricane Chris making it's way up the coast. No warnings for the interior (central) where we are, not yet anyway and I hope it doesn't come up this far. 4 years ago Arthur did come in and get us. Lots of damages, power outages, etc. Sar, I'm glad you had a great time at the picnic! I didn't need grief counselling either, I handled it myself. I did get the lawn mowed. I went out early Thursday morning and got most of it done before it got too hot. I finished it off yesterday and it was a little cooler. I hope you all take it easy and stay cool in this heat . It's very hot here again today. I did manage to pull some weeds in my garden and refill the hummingbird feeder. Happy birthday to Sar!
