The butterflies don't like this heat either


We finally got some much needed rain this morning and last night. There's been storms all around us for the past week but we haven't gotten any of it. Its been record breaking heat (100+ degrees) the past week so today its only 78 degrees out and feels great!! I'm sure as the day goes on, it will get near 90 again but for right now I am enjoying the 78 :).

Since it was so hot this weekend, I made some birthday cards











to have on hand for birthdays coming up in the next few months. I also made 1 Halloween card... it won't be long before its Halloween!!

Happy Birthday to Mom and Aubrey




Its Marie's birthday and Aubrey's birthdays Monday. I made these cards for them. We're having everyone over for a big cookout. I hope its not 100 degrees later.

Everyone went home and I miss them already!!!

We had so much fun and I hated to see it end!!!

We had so much fun laughing, eating, stamping ... Lesa taught us how to make the washer necklaces with alcohol inks so guess what everyone I know will be getting for Christmas this year?

The lighting in our dining room was not the best so Charlie brought out a few extra lights we had. One had a magnifying glass on it and Joanie said "Gosh where did you get this?" The next thing we knew Charlie went to Harbor Freight and got 10 lights! Before he bought them, he told them he worked at a nursing home and alot of the residence needed them. He asked if there was any way they could each be 20% off since he had only 1 coupon and they said sure. So each one came to $17 and they were more than thrilled with that price!!!

Another funny story is ... whenever I say "Charlie", certain people think I am saying "Troy". I said "who is Troy?" They thought his name was Troy so they started calling him Troy for fun. Lesa thought his name was George. I said "Who's George?" She thought that was HIS name so then he became George. A little while later, we all were calling him Charlie, Troy, George and he was being a great sport about it. LOL

We all picked tomatoes in the garden. Angie LOVED tomato sandwiches for lunch. I took them for a ride in the golf cart to see "Humphrey the Camel" and all the goats, donkeys, horses, pigs, gazelle... down the street.

Charlie's mom announced yesterday she is coming Monday - Friday for her semi-annual week long visit so I'll be "recovered" by then. HA Guess we will have everyone over Monday for her 87th birthday.
