I survived two weeks without seeing my grandson. I missed him so much. He came bouncing into the house Friday afternoon and said "Hey, Nana. I came. I came to see you." Of course my heart melted and then he jumped into my arms and gave me a hug and kiss. That's all this Nana asks for! There's nothing like being loved by a grandchild.
Greg's fiance has a three year old daughter. She and Andrew have fun together but also fuss like a brother and sister. They are having to learn to share everything - including Nana and Pa.
Colored tongues were funny and they were happy to show them to anyone who would look.
Sitting on the patio eating potato chips. Andrew appears to be trying to get Serenity's attention.
They had fun playing in their pool (I did too!)
Finally - both of them looked at me.
Cortney and Serenity got to ride Smokey! Both were thrilled and Pa looks happy too. He and I seldom ride the horses.
If you notice there's a red cup in almost all the photos. It was so hot and I drank lots of ice water. It went everywhere I did.
The green plastic fence was used to protect my tomato plants. I'm aware this is not a tomato. Last year I planted watermelon seeds and only got one watermelon because the rabbits, squirrels or
something started eating on them. I probably had 20 watermelons that they got and the seeds were left after they did their damage. The vines this year came from those seeds. Some of the vines have grown around, up, under and over the plastic fence. This little one was hanging yesterday. This morning, it was on the ground. Sure enough, something had been eating on it. It made me mad!
Last, but certainly not least, I finally got some of Jon and Brenda's wedding pictures put into a frame. When I started, I had plans to give it to them, but changed my mind because I wanted it in my house. Maybe I'll do another one for them.
A lot of my time has been spent watering flowers, trees and roses. I've watered part of my garden, but it's about 10 miles from here and I have to take water in gallon jugs, etc because there is no water source there. We've had no rain in over a month now. This sweltering heat is killing the grass and the dry weather is not good for my garden. I'm hoping we get rain soon. I also hope we get some cooler days. It's been as hot as 113 degrees here. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...actually I'm dreaming of temps in the 80s at this point.
That's all for now. Happy July!
