COOL.....and loving it!

I have to back track a little first.   On Sunday night we had all the (my) kids here for dinner.  It was too hot to make S'mores, but it will get cold soon.   I was disappointed that Maggie's birthday is the same day that Janet is coming to town to spend the night.   However, we will work something out.  

On Labor day we took Jake and Max to the Carnival in Keewanee.   Let me remember not to do this again next year.  Jake has a memory like an elephant and was remembering from last year.   It was entirely too hot for me (90 deg) and I worry about the kids on the rides.  You feel so responsible.  Well we made it home safe and sound and everyone had a good time.  I was so exhausted that I went to bed at 8:30.  

Yesterday was a quiet day at home...I walked in the morning with Vida and then did some laundry and watched the R. convention.  Gary was home all day...working on his ferris wheel. 

Today I went to the pool, paid the taxes and Margie is here cleaning.  Thanks to Beth for the link to the dress....I ordered it and the dress was 1/2 price....really a steal for a Eileen Fisher.   It should make a great Christmas dress. 

I have a Dr. appt. this p.m. and need to pick up pants for Gary and pants for Pat and go to the grocery store.   I have a pretty full day.  We are planning to go to Chicago to visit with Diane and Ralph on Fri.   I hope we are home the same day, but if not early on Sat.  as I want to go to the Pops concert on Sat. night. 

I hope Chris is doing okay with the fence in his yard.   It is always SOMETHING!   

Love, 

Mom
