Humidity

We are finally having a few beautiful days. The humidity is way down and the temperatures are way down too. It was so good to have the windows open yesterday and overnight. Breezes from the North and Northeast blowing in the windows was delightful. It is a gorgeous sunny day and you can enjoy the sun because it isn't over 100 heat index anymore. Heard this morning that it has been the hottest weather ever in history. The Bible says in Revelations that the sun will become so hot it will blister people in just seconds out in the sun. It seems to be headed that way and I don't believe it is Global Warming but it is the end of times as told in the Bible.

Order Mailboxes and Much More for Your Home

Our mailbox is looking pretty bad. Now that we have moved, we need a new one. Also since we moved into our new home, we thought it would be a good idea to get an address plaque personalized with our name on it so people would know where we live. Since I do a great deal of shopping on the Internet, I thought I would look for address plaques there.

I was very happy to be able to locate a site on the Internet that not only had house address plaques but also had great mailboxes, as well. One of the items I have always wanted for our home was a sundial. I found that too. And while shopping, I even discovered personalized doormats, as well.

Additionally, I picked out a beautiful address sign for our new home that is quite attractive and certainly will let people know where we live. I have had so much fun shopping for our new home. I want to get a bird feeder and and a bird bath, as well.

Walk in the Park

We went for a walk in a beautiful little park in a small town. We found it was full of mosquitoes so we quickly got out of there. We find as we age, we have to watch our step and since I have had knee surgery, it is helpful to have my husband hold my hand over the rough ground. It hadn't been mowed in some time either, making it worse, but it was a beautiful park. We went to a restaurant right across the street and had a great meal and celebrated my birthday. What fun!!!! Thanks kids!!!!

More First Cousins

Kaelyn and Emry are first cousins and they are only 13 days apart. They each have a little brother now too so their Grandpa and Grammy found themselves grandparents of 4 within 2 years. They have so much fun with those grandkids and love them so much. It is so neat to see such a great loving family. And we are blessed to be their great grandparents and be alive to enjoy them too. Pictured here is Emry's Mom, Di, coming to the rescue with treatment for a mosquito bite.

Laminate Floor

Hardwood floors are all the rage right now. When I was young, there were many hardwood floors and it was a job to wax and polish them and keep them in shape. Now I have decided to get rid of all my carpet and go with hardwood floors again. Why? You may ask. It is because I found on the Internet that you can buy laminate floor materials that look like the real thing but are so much easier to care for. Not only that, but they come in so many choices of types and colors. There are several shades of cherry laminate alone, and the Canadian Maple is quite different. It is going to be difficult for me to choose one of the types and colors that I want in my home but it will be exciting also. My granddaughter has them in her home and they are beautiful. I can hardly wait.

Church Surprise

My sister drove up for church this morning. That was quite a surprise. We were to have a guest speaker but she couldn't come so my sister got to hear our Pastor teach. She said she thought it was the first time she had heard him as there was always a guest speaker before when she came. It was a beautiful sunny day to drive up here. She is about an hour away from us. We are celebrating 30 years of the church and celebrating all month so every service has a little something from past days. Had a neat DVD of happenings over the years that was fun to watch.
