Water Fun

An easy way to make fun for the kids in Summer is to turn on the sprinkler.  They love to run thru the cold water over and over.  It is so much fun.  I remember doing that when I was little.  We really enjoyed it when the weather got hot and humid.  Out came the bathing suits and away we went to play in the sprinkler.  It was nearly as much fun as playing in a small pool of water.  It is wonderful weather for kids to play outside and get lots of Vitamin C.

Fireworks

Went to this little town that has the #1 pyrotechnic crew in our State. The fireworks were fantastic.  They were the best I have ever seen in my life.  And I have seen a lot of fireworks in my years.  It was a little different in that now they are going to computerized fireworks.  But that is the way to go because they just kept shooting them off so fast and it lasted at least half an hour.  Terrific!

Jaws - The Shark

Here you see my little great grandson playing with his "Jaws" shark.  They got a new swimming pool and the kids are really having a good time in it.  It has been quite warm so it is good weather for playing in the water.  They are taking swimming lessons too so this is nice for them to have.  I think it great for all children to learn to swim when they are young and they can enjoy it all their lives.

New Home

The neighbors are going to turn their single mobilehome into a double wide.  They will be bringing the second home in on Monday.  One of the things they had to do was make their dog's yard smaller.  He still has a good house to sleep in and room to run.  He loves to run to the fence when he sees a rabbit or other neighbors across the way.  Here is his new pen.

Mexican Lunch

I stopped at Taco Bell after church.  I wanted to get something for lunch.  Decided on a stuffed grilled beef burrito.  It was huge.  I couldn't believe the size of it.  Much larger than Taco Johns.  It was very good.  I have also been seeing a pecan apple salad wrap advertised on TV at ARBY's so went there and got one of those for supper tonight.  I hope it is as good as it looks on television.  It is nice to have something different for a change.

Bad Weather

Businesses were destroyed last night by tornadoes.  A great family restaurant just 17 miles from us was completely demolished.  No one was in it, which was great, as no one was hurt but there is nothing left but trash of the restaurant. We loved to go there on Thursdays for their TexMex.  They had a wonder buffet Wednesday nights and Sunday noons.  You could always eat free on your birthday too and they had a big menu so you always found something you liked.  There were straight line winds in some places, farm buildings destroyed in places, great big trees uprooted.  Many tornadoes were caught on camera and cell phone.  It was a seriously bad night.

Mobile Homes

Our neighbors are going to get another mobilehome and join it onto the one they live in.  It will be quite a project.  They will have a nice double wide when it is finished but I bet it will take a lot of work.  The present one will be disconnected and they will move into the newer one.  Then the old one will be completely redone inside and out and then joined with the newer one.  They have 4 children who are getting quite big and it is very crowded in their present home.  It will be great for them to have a larger, updated home.
