Good morning everyone.

It's sunny and hot down here.  Supposed to have all the brothers and sister here today and a barbque.  Our lawn guy came by yesterday so the outside and inside of the house looks good.

Hope everyone is having a relaxing day today.

Hi Family Man! Its currently a pleasant 65F and cloudy here. The rain that was here this morning has "slacked" off.

Hi ID.

I was wrong on all the brothers and sister coming today.  Instead my older brother went and got my 103 y.o. great aunt from the nursing home and bought her here for a lunch of barbque, slaw, potato salad and baked beans.  When she got here I asked her how she was doing and she said fine and just glad to get out of that damned nursing home. :)

She still amazed me because her mind is still sharp as a tack and she only uses a walker to get around.

Hope you and the family are having a good fourth.

Mrs. Dem is cat-sitting for a couple of weeks for a friend and is over there feeding the chipmunk killers little darlings. They're not very tidy about the unwanted body parts left around the house.

I started a rewiring project in the kitchen, but discovered I was missing a couple of ingredients I'd forgotten to get from the hardware store yesterday. Oh darn, guess I'll have to read and nap instead.

Can't think of a better way to spend a fourth than reading and napping. Then again, I can't think of a better way to spend any day than reading and napping. :)
