Quiet tonight??

 We have had a week of fireworks... just noisy ones by day and noisy and beautiful at night. Last night there very loud ones that sounded like they had been set off in a metal trash can!

The cats were ok until last night when Tigger ( orange one) decided the noise was too much. My daughters have had to drug their dogs!

The heat has us stuck at home most of the time... with just "important" errands coaxing us out!!

Today everyone is coming to celebrate our youngest daughter's birthday. Her birthday (July 3) often gives her extra days off.. this year it's a three day weekend! Lots of celebrating! 

Next week is our grand daughter's  birthday....! 

peaches....

Bob stopped at one of the "Mater Man" veggie stands the other day. He cam home with the most luscious peaches and tomatoes!

We've been having sliced peaches with Cool Whip.... no, no shortcake... no biscuits... just peaches and Cool Whip!! 

Picking up more tomorrow!! 

Medicare annual exam...

 Yesterday Bob and I headed off to my primary care physician for an annual Medicare exam... pages and pages of questions to fill out before my doctor came into the room.

I took Bob along because his doctor is about to retire and I wanted him to take a look at mine so he could switch... btw my daughter  and grand daughter both see my doctor and like her.

The exam went well...blood tests were fine except my white cell count in higher than last time... she will check it again in a month.

We stopped at Kohl's on the way home ... and were glad to actually get home. The weather is hot and humid  and VERY unpleasant.

I had quilting/craft group ..last night. Lots of talking  .. good snacks and so on. Though the walkways to the building were being watered when we left and I got soaked! 

 

 

Bob - off to Care Now

 Bob has been coping ... rather trying to cope with a batch of  some sort of weed in our back yard.... poison ivy? poke weed? Who knows.   Whatever... left him with itchy rashes on both arms and hands. This morning he finally gave up and set an appointment with Care Now. He has been prescribed Prednisone. He picked the prescription up at CVS and already notices a slight improvement!!

He ordered weed killer from Home Depot.... evidently there is a lot of "whatever" on the back fence!! We decided that when he applies this stuff he has to wear long sleeves and gloves.

I've been slowly working on things for the next online show ... Nov. 

The sky has been gray these past few days and HOT 

Carolyn's library position

 Our daughter has started her new "job" at the Mid-Continent Library Raytown branch... She's filled out all the necessary paperwork... listened to all sorts of work requirement files and is eager to start working with the public....

requirements etc are very different from those for a teacher!!  LOL 

Bob and our s-i-l and grandson had a car problem to fix Monday. Evidently our grand son tried using his Father's car ( twice) to jump is friend's ...minor catastrophe ... Luckily it meant only a new battery and a trip to their trusted mechanic to make sure of that!!   

Sorting stuff...ie decluttering...did find stuff to use for this November's show! 

Dominic's birthday

Dominic's birthday celebration was a good one... good food and a surprisingly good cake from Price Chopper! Lots of laughter.. lots of talk and so on! 

 Here he is at one!! 

 

Weird one

This morning Bob and I headed off to my" appointment" for a fasting blood test ... it's actually a  first come first served setup. After waiting and waiting I was lucky to get a fantastic tech...One poke... three vials and off I went!

But the whole thing left me feeling off kilter all day.

We were due for some bad weather yesterday,,, but it didn't happen. Nothing happened today either. The temps did drop! Tomorrow is our grandson's 20th birthday... everyone is coming for dinner , cake and ice cream. I say dinner bur actually my daughter is making the main part  - shrimp or chicken enchiladas! Dominic requested the shrimp ones.

Feeling off kilter I didn't get much done!
