Just an Observation

First off, let me be quite clear that I don't really care if people get upset with the President.

But it seems to me, if they were trying to build up support for a campaign, the President's "people" would have enough sense to NOT schedule multiple visits and appearances on a Summer Friday afternoon in an area with lots of bridges and tunnels and bad traffic even on a good day.  You pick a Friday afternoon in a high tourist area and you are just asking to annoy people!  DUH!

Stay safe!

Happy Birthday, Bikini!

We did not know you shared your day with Han Solo and Capt. Picard!  Love you!

What Fun!

And the joy of being a kid again!

Golfer lit the first fire in our new fire pit this evening.  We roasted hot dogs for supper.  Then we feasted on toasted marshmallows for dessert!  YUM!!!!  Had been a lot of years since we had done anything like that.  It was FUN!

In other news  - - it's still hot and humid here.  The weather forecast is for more hot and humid. 

The furry kids are all fine.  Actually they are all resting now.  The flurry of chowing down their supper is over and it wore them out.

The plumber came today and said we needed to order a couple parts for the kitchen faucet.  Said to call him when we got them and he'd come back.  I think it's a warranty issue.  Supposedly the gutter guys were here, but neither of us saw them and there's no evidence of mess, so either they were extremely neat and clean or they lied on the note they left in the mailbox.  We'll see when we have the next hard rain.

That's about all from here. Stay safe!

BULLETIN!

This morning's coffee and paper were interrupted by the sudden splashing of a small kitten, Angus P.,  flailing around in the dish water.  Evidently during a happy romp up, over, and around everything, he slipped and fell in.  He was rescued by Golfer, wrapped in towels and dried off.  Then the kitchen was cleaned!  His brother, Finnigan, was patiently sitting nearby looking innocent.  No sign of the older siblings, Cinder and Cecil, but I thought I heard giggling.

Stay safe!

Cecil saying "WTH"???

Cecil is not hiding quite as much as he was when the furry babies came home.  We've even heard him growl a tiny bit, so I hope that means he's going to stand his ground. It's hard when you are afraid of everything! 

So far things are going well.  There have been no violent outbreaks.  Angus and Finnigan really want to play with Cinder and Cecil and at times provoke them, but so far, so good.  All is quiet right now.  Cinder is back in the box I had prepared for the little ones.  Cecil is napping.  Angus and Finnigan have probaly passed out under the bed.  They were having a quite a romp with a ping pong ball while I was working in the kitchen.  I have to be careful, they are both "leg twiners".

Golfer just got home. Hot day on the golf course.   Our area is under a heat warning and an air quality advisory.  So we're in for the day now.  We had a big storm during the night and there was debris (limbs, twigs, leaves, etc.) all over the yard.  After I got the grocery shopping done this morning and things all put away I went out with my grabber and a bag and cleaned up most of it.  Some areas had a lot of damage and many trees knocked down, but we are okay.  NurseJ checked on us and said they just had some limbs and debris from their neighbor's tree.

That's it for now.  Stay safe!

Cinder trying to rest!

You will notice that her rest was not as peaceful as she hoped!  (and I did use the auto-focus on the new camera!)  The blur is Finnigan.

and another!
