Good Morning Double-Digit Dreamers.

Yes, Folks. We dream of a double-digit Season count and the reality may be closer than you think!
Keep reading.

Today's info:
Days to the Season: 120
Days to Christmas Day: 162

The 100-Day Season Window.
Coming to a Countdown thread near you on August 5.
FEWER than 3 weeks hence!
Be here.

Heat, Heat, Heat!
Humidity, Humidity, Humidity!
That's our story from here as our mid to upper 90's readings continue unabated.
We had a thunderstorm yesterday evening which cooled things off into the 70's, but which will no doubt add to the dampness.
This morning dawns here soggy, at 75 degrees with a predicted high of 96 by this afternoon.

Well, try to stay cool, Folks. And have a Terrific Tuesday!

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

I had a great birthday yesterday! Mom cooked a BIG lunch, and made my favorite chocolate layer cake, then we went out to eat that evening with Nancy's side of the family. Elizabeth gave me a golf-chipping practice net, a ball shag (to pick up balls while standing upright), a dozen golf balls, and some smoker wood chips. Nice!

Mary Poppins starts this Thursday!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Happy Belated Brad...sounds like a great day!

Good morning all and Happy Monday! Back to "normal" life. This weekend was very tiring and busy. We were up every night until 11p or so and then had to get back up every morning around 5. DD competed against some of the most tough competition individually, that she ever has. She had a lot of fun and still managed to bring home a 3rd in her fancy strut. Her team took home first place (YES!!!!), bringing home another International title. Her coach and all the parents were so proud of the girls. The hard work paid off, but they will be back to practicing tomorrow night. DD will be back to her private practice tonight. She's already talking about wanting to go to a camp next summer, which is 4 days. It will be hard to send her away for that many days, when I know she won't be in the care of a family member, but I am considering it, especially if one of the other girls go too. Here's a few pictures from the weekend! Hope you all have a great day!

Aww...congrats to her and the team...she is adorable!
I think camp is so harder on the parents than the kids....they always have a blast! lol

Happy Tuesday!! Busy work day ahead but that is ok. I need to catch up on laundry tonight and I am hoping to get in a walk. I can't believe we are in the 2nd half of July...how did that happen? Hope you all have a good day!

And Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

Mary Poppins is blowing into a theater near...well...us...in just a couple of days! Please bear with me as I gush for the next few days.



It's weird to see her as a brunette, though LOL.

I hope y'all have a great day!

It's those darn calendars that use poor quality glue, so the pages keep falling on the floor. The sad thing it is getting worse and worse every year.

The hot and humids are everywhere...It kicked up a massive downpour for the drive home, last evening. The rain came down so hard that there was a small pond under our Maple tree. Once the storm passed, everything drained quickly. Now it is just mucky.

Encounter with Critters Dept: Not me this time. My brother and his partner were hiking through a nearby canyon in Northern California when they met up with a most unusual quadruped. They have seen wolves, deer, snakes, etc. before, but a cow was a new one. A selfie of the threesome was posted on FB, and they called a local number to get the rogue moo - beast back to her field. A happy ending.

Afternoon tea sounds lovely! I hope the rain doesn't do any damage!

Merry meet everyone! I'm off for a little vacation so I won't be posting for just over a week. I hope everyone will have a great rest of July and I'll catch you at the end of the month.

The FIL is staying with the BIL while we are gone. It will be nice to have a little break from the routine.

Take care.

Good luck to Elizabeth, can’t wait to hear all about it!

Happy Hot Hump Day MMC! Yes, this is right around the time where I start to get tired of the heat and humidity. And it's right on time with a big heat wave coming (feels like we've already been hot enough but it's going to get worse). But still glad it's summer and we have the Bers ahead of us. Have a great Hot Hump Day!

 

[DoYouHearWhatIHear]

Hope everyone has a great day and stays cool out there! This heat can hurry up on out of here-it’s terrible! Good news is in a matter of weeks it’ll be gone. Maybe 8 weeks or so but still-won’t last forever! Have a great day and keep like the underside of a pillow!!

yup, it's hot here as well, had a big bug short downpour yesterday afternoon which only made it worse. Today going up to 35c (95f) again and thunderstorms predicted.

Merry Wednesday! Another warm day and this weekend looks even hotter! Typical work day for me and I am hoping to get in a long walk tonight. Hope you all have a great day!
