Sam

Sam is down atScout Camp for 10 days...this is a little town just outside the Scout Reservation....they take a walk over to this little store and have a peach Nehi float...we go down for visitor's Sunday this coming Sunday...can't wait to see him!

Another Round

Another round of knee shots today...finally the last one in left and just one more in right next week...I have been helping Cindy get her room set up.  I can hardly believe she has to go back Aug 8th...I never had to go back until the last of August.  I will try to post one of the very neat bulletin boards we finished today.q

 

Shots are working

Today is a really good day...got up and no pain in either knee.  Getting the shots does not hurt...but for two days following...my knees feel real full and tight...Just one more in my left knee and two more in my right...this going to be so much better than surgery.

Icing knees

Had shot #4 in left knee and shot# 3 in right knee yesterday....when I got up this morning thet both felt pretty good...icing right now and watching Rachel Ray

Celebrating 47

We started our anniversary day by going to breakfast at The Big Biscuit...it was ok, we will probably go back to regular restaurant next time.

Nice Neighbors

We have new , nice, young neighbors that moved in last October...they have a two year old little boy and a little girl born last October.

For the last two weekends they have built this cool platform for the two year olds new slide.  Today they installed these cool citronella wine bottle candles all around the deck.  mike helped with the building both weekends.

Home grown

The picture of those home grown Arkansas tomatoes absolutely made my mouth water.  My favorite sandwich is a BLT with home grown tomatoes...can't wait until we finally have some in KC...with the hot weather...it may be pretty soon!

Quiet Day

Sitting and icing knee's...3 rd on Left and 2nd on right..I think this process is going to work❤

Tanner's Celebration

Today was Tanner's last day at school camp...it was a fun week of learning to be a 6th Grader for next year.   So we had a celebration today and Cindy and I took the two boys to the show.   they both seemed to have a good time 

7/11

Today is free slurpy day at 7/11... Cindy and Sam took advantage of free!

Hot is finally here!

I am so happy for summer...thou shalt not complain that it is in the 90's!

Worked at the Food Pantry this morning...we sure had a lot of folk... About 1/2 homeless and they were delighted to get out of the heat for just a little break!  The pantry has a small window unit and it is a small space, but it gives them a little break.

Tanner has been here this afternoon...he has cleaned some of my Fisher Price old toys...hoping that others sell...then we can put in some more to sell😊

This is picture of Tanner cooling off with ice cream and a whole bunch of chocolate sauce!Whoops won't download...later!

Antiques

Cindy and I almost literally took the plunge today...we opened our first Antique booth today.  We have a lighted cabinet almost at the entrance. It has 6 glass shelves..and it is under lock and key.  We started with just a few of my vintage Fisher Price toy collection...I am so excited and look forward to this being a success story.

 

Busy Day

We are having fun on our staycation...we to a second show in two weeks...We went to see the "Lone Ranger".  We really enjoyed the movie..,Johnny Depp is an absolute hoot as Tonto...good entertainment and a clean movie.

Sam went out with his Dad to his Grandpa Grahn' house and was ble to pay Grandpa's new set of drums...he had a ball...plus he is getting really good!

Happy Day After

We really had a very awesome 4th ...kids over and friends...ended up being a fun day.  Cindy, kris and Sam ended up be our host and hostess...kris cooked delicious ribs.

After the part we want up to our friends driveway and watched our city firework display...it was one of the best in years...lasted 30 minutes and our friend served homemade vanilla ice cream...an old family recipe...it is the first I have had that even comes close to Grandma Powell's

.  By the way do any of you know that recipe she had?  also I long for three childhood tastes from our grandma

Apple utter

Blackberry cobbler

Angelfoo cake

She would make them for me on each visit...and her biscuits were the only ones I ate or have since then...I remember the lightness and balanced flavor...OMG with that homemade apple butter❤

Happy Day Sistas!!!

What???

I am worried about Helen and Patsy...anything I should know???

League Camps

Paxton's baseball team just won league championship...whoot whoot

We just got home a little bit ago....taught the little ones at Sunday School, then went with another couple for lunch at a Liberty restaurant...came home for a little bit and iced my knee...then off to the ball game..sure glad it was not beastly hot...it was beautiful outside.

Paxton is the one on the right...he is Paul's oldest and he will be in High School next year.

Sam

Sam had an awesome time at camp.  It didn't rain on them even one day. He swam every day, he learned to ride a horse, archery everyday and he even zip lined.  They keep them very busy...he sure enjoyed sleeping in his own bed last night.  They stopped and ate sushi on the way home from camp.

Home

We went out to eat after the Dr and then went to the show....this was a real treat for us...we sure laughed out loud at the new Sandra Bulloc movie "The Heat".  Crude but absolutely hillaous.

I am scheduled for out patient surgery on Monday   July 8th and if he has a cancellation...July 5th...a couple of weeks and I should be fine...I'm ready!!!

Dr tomorrow

Have been doing so much sitting...have been really pissed about this Paula Deen thing and have been doing a lot of research as I sit here icing and resting the knee...I have my own real conspiracy...President Obama is out of the country with his family and this whole unraveling of Paula Deen starts and it just like a cancer....

I found out tonight from some pretty hiGh sources in the Democratic Party that Paula has been a huge supporter of President Obama and had many different endorsement parties...I don!'t think that this unraveling is a coincidence ...but instead a well orchestrated plan to undermine her.

This is absolutely ridiculous!!!!  She is not a racist !!!!
