What A Month!

First of all Brian came for a visit and he fixed my computer!  Yeah!!!!  So now you get to read about me mowing my grass again.  J  He also hung a few of my pictures for me, fixed my front door and cut both mine and Kevin’s back grass.  That was on Thursday.  Friday he and I took the day off and went shopping, out to lunch and spent the day visiting until Kevin came home from work.  Then we had supper, Kevin and Brian got in the pool and we had a nice evening.  Saturday it was time for him to head home.
 

Samantha came with him to visit.  It was good to see her.  She even came over on Thursday while Brian was cutting grass and spent some one-on-one time with me.  It was great because we don’t get to do that very often.

 

I don’t remember exactly where I left off on my last blog, and I’m too lazy to go back and check, so I will just continue from wherever.  It has been extremely hot.  In fact, we have been under a heat advisory most of this month.  The official weather report said upper 90’s, but my thermometer has said over 100 ever day.  Plus it has been extremely humid.  Therefore, I only mowed the grass once this month.  As of yesterday the temperature has cooled down to the upper 80’s and low 90’s with very low humidity and a nice breeze.  Sooooo, yesterday I cut my front grass and watered all my flowers and bushed.  Some of my flowers have died even though I have been watering them.  Today I am using the weed wacker – in small increments.  It’s nice again today but I don’t want to overdue.

 

Ryan has been home on leave his month.  It has been really good to see him.  Of course, he is not around much because he is busy visiting his friends.  He heads back to Japan on Thursday.  He will be gone for a year and then he is going to leave the Navy and go to college.

 

I am still working on and researching my family tree on all sides.  I am learning so much.  I find it extremely fascinating.  It’s been much easier since Brian got my computer working like it is supposed to.  I am printing everything I learn and putting the information in binders.

 

I haven’t been outside much because of the heat.  So I have been working inside; cleaning drawers, cupboards and catching up on my filing.  I am not finished with all of that yet, and it is time to start fall house cleaning.  Never any rest. I’m getting tired just typing this. Maybe I need to take a nap????

 

Okay, my break is over and it’s back to weed wacking.  I have also filled all the bird feeders and put fresh water in the birdbath.
