Thursday, Blogger on the fritz, Thrifty Thursday

 

Grammy and James at the water park!  Boy did we have fun!.  It was 97 degrees and hazy with smoke of course.   James and I spent some time at the wave pool.  He was too little to be in it by himself, but I held him under his arms and we were hit by wave after wave.  Every time one came I would lift him up and let the wave move us.  He loved it.  We ate pizza, and chips and had cupcakes, so fun.  He is now up at daughters and we miss him.  He is a quiet little boy, but we still miss his presence. 

I can't read any of my bogs when I hit reading list, so comments are down and so is revenue.  But I heard from others that they are experiencing the same thing.  So if I am not commenting on your blog that is the reason. Sorry.

Hub had to pull all of our squash because of that bug problem.  I tried to contain it, but it ws no use.So sad.  He is now picking onions and letting them dry out.  We are in for another heat wave with temps in the 100's and above for the foreseeable future.  I told Hubs we need to go out and find a newly plants alfalfa field and pick the edges.  The chickens want fresh greens so bad.

I had two more wedding dresses come in yesterday along with a mother of the bride and one bridesmaid dress.  I am going to have to stop taking wedding dresses soon as I am about at my max capacity to get them done before our vacation.
