quieter

Yesterday was finally quiet... guess everyone who bought fireworks set them off before the 4th and finished things up on the fourth!!  So many went off that it looked like we were in the midst of a fire... very very hazy and smokey.  Hard to see across the street!
Some fireworks were really really loud and the cats jumped each time one of them went off!!


We have now had many days of HOT sunny weather with occasional showers. The forecast for this week is even hotter  ... mid 90's. Everyone's air conditioners will be going full bore. Guess I will have to plan on making more bears for the August online show and doing more laps around the house... too hot to spend much time outdoors.

Looks like our family is growing.... my elder daughter's step-daughter is having a baby. A little girl due January 19th.  Lacy sent me a picture of a pair of sneakers she bought for the baby... tiny and oh so cute!!
