Hi Everyone!

[judy]

I just found this Diana. If I ever figure out a way to stop Max from peeing on the pansies, I'll become a wealthy woman! By the way, there is only one pansy left!
I have to go searching for remnants of them, weed, water, and see if they are savable!

I have not found a way to come, but I wish I could afford it! Driving is out...it's just too far, even if I drive to Janet's and then continue with her.

Ah, well.....

[judy]

It's going to be in the 90's today. I am definitely going to spend the day in the pool! What was nice was that last night, it cooled down substantially.

In NYC, the heat just lays there, and summer can be uncomfortable. My apartment was on the top floor, under a black tar roof. The heat just collected and hung there. I ran the a/c 24/7!

I just love it here! (Wait until winter, and I won't be loving the snow though!)

That sounds wonderful Judy. A day in the pool. It's in the 90's here too and very humid. I just saw a post from Lynne on another thread and she's gonna be by the pool today too!! You lucky girls! I don't have a pool Enjoy your day!!

[Janet]

It has been really hot and humid today and it's suppose to stay this way for awhile again. I just don't do well in this kind of heat. I sweat bad enough...

My Mom went camping this weekend and she is having a great time. She called because she didn't take enough of these caps that she needs and wondered if I could bring her some. She's camping in the county just south of ours so it wasn't too far. She doesn't unhook her camper from the car...too much work...lol. She took her machine with her and is doing so good. They must not have had her cath in right the first time because the machine beeped almost everynight. Since she's had this new one put in...it hasn't gone off once and she is sleeping so much better. She looks much better too.

Puppies are growing well and doing great. They are so onry and it's a hoot to play with them. They are true boys...that's for sure. I hope they are sold before too awful long, I'll probably be able to let them go around 10 or 11 weeks. So please keep your fingers crossed for me to be able to find good homes. I'm pretty sure I will use some of the money to go to Kansas and then use some to have the Joey, Ozzie, Gidget and Brenna spayed and neutered. I don't think I want to breed anymore. Not sure....but I'm leaning that way now.

Too a nap this morning and had a dream about Kat. She was on a cooking show or something like that and it was really funny.

Not much else going on.

Diana....do you know who all is coming so far to your house? I thought it was going to take me longer to drive for some reason, but it's only 11-12 hours according to google and mapquest. Is that how long it took you?

[Blueyes]

Sounds like things are going well for you Janet..I'm so glad! I will be at Diana's I may have my puppy with me since they were born a few days early, but Mike can watch it

[Janet]

I'll have Brenna with me too Betsi. She is so tiny that I don't trust the guys to take care of her. I will be bringing an xpen and everything I need for her...I'll be happy to share.

[Blueyes]

Thank you Janet, that it very sweet! Brenna is so tiny, you could put her in your pocket and nobody would know, lol! I'll have a crate with me, and Mike can stay at the motel with the pup or take it with him... if he can pry it out of my arms

So sorry I haven't been on much lately. We are just having a busy summer. Karen is here and Melissa and Garrett are here most evenings for supper and to visit. The 20 somethings dominate the computers. Between them and Rex working on his in the evenings, there's not much time for me on here. Plus, we can't afford to eat out with this big group very much, so we're cooking at home in the evenings after we get off work, which means more shopping and more cleaning.

Have to enjoy them while they are here though. Before you know it, Karen will be back in California, and Melissa will be back in school. She was accepted to the RN program so two years and she will hopefully be an RN. She hopes to on to be a nurse practitioner. They plan to move away in two years so Garrett can go to vet school. So need to enjoy them now!!

This weekend I have so much to do to get ready for our vacation. I wanted to get tickets to tour the White House, so contacted our congressman a month or so ago, but we weren't in time. Found out this week that all the tickets are gone. Maybe next time.

Much to do, little time as usual.

[judy]

Jessica, I hope your living space gets in shape soon! Good luck with summer school!

It sounds like a friend/dogfest is going to happen at your house, Diana! I wish I lived closer! I could throw Max and Annie into that fenced off place and hang out with you wonderful friends! I know you are going to take tons of pictures and I am excited to see them! When you do group hugs, my spirit will be there too!

[DianaB]

We know that you'll be here in thought, Judy!! Can't you find some way to come with Janet? I know that she'd appreciate the company!!! We'd love to have you come!!!......and you too, JJJ!!!! Everyone's welcome!!!!!

[DianaB]

Whew!!! It's been a really busy weekend!!!

Saturday Kera came to clean......she's been my housekeeper this summer and has been doing a great job!!! Then we had a wedding reception for my nephew, Luke and his new wife, Ashley. It was such a beautiful reception.....my Sister-in-law is so good a decorating for things like that!!! When we came home Jaci and Nate came over and visited for a while. It was soooo good to see them......I miss Jaci so much at times and Saturday was one of those days!!

Sunday I taught my Sunday School class and when it was over we went to my son, Feyn's church. After the service Feyn got to baptise his son, Elijah!! It was such a wonderful moment!!! All of my family went except for Dae Lynn and Damon (they were out of town) and my Mom and Stepdad were there too. After that I took Dean and Karlie.....we went out to eat and then came home. Dean was so grouchy from being held and was a bear all day long. We had Care Group at my BIL's pond but I stayed home with Dean.

I had Dean and Karlie all night and today. Dae and Damon got back home about 3:30. Then last weekend we ran into a step cousin and his children at Marva's and his son and a friend came to visit today and are staying for 2 or 3 days. So things are still interesting around here!!! I think that Aaron and Kyle are planning on fishing and riding 4-wheelers!!! Fun!!! Fun!!!

[paula1961]

Diana sounds like you haven't had a boring moment lately lol. Sorry Dean was a grouch. I kept Ryan yesterday and the day before. He also had his moments of being a little "turd". But for the most part he was a sweetie pie. He is spoiled rotten though! I bet Dean is too lol!!

Glad ya got to see Jaci! I'm sure you miss her. But at least she lives near you doesn't she? Have fun while your company is there.

[Blueyes]

Sounds like everybody is having a busy summer! Diana, have you seen the meet-up thread?

[gja1000]

WOW! Diana! You are one busy lady!!! You're making me tired just reading your post!

[DianaB]

It was one whirlwind of a weekend!!! I think that my cousin's son and friend are just planning on camping out tomorrow and fishing so I won't have to worry about entertaining them. I am soooo tired. I think that I'm about to head off to bed.

Betsi....I'll go take a look at the meet-up thread first!!!!

Paula, yes, thank goodness, Jaci lives only about 13 miles or so away......not too far but far enough that we don't see her much........And yes, Dean is spoiled!!! His Mama's going to have her hands full tomorrow!!! Also, he picked up screaming when he's irritated!! She's not going to like that either!!!!
