SHEs Organized

What are your summer plans? Are you travelling anywhere? Are you having any visitors? Are you staying close to home? What sports are you enjoying on TV or in person? Is there anything you want to get done? How is your garden growing?

Let us know what will make your summer special.

Hi!

Yesterday dh spent some time outside trying to get a watering system set up with a hose. That involved a trip to a hardware store. Today will involve a trip to another store to buy a new pump. Dh says he "blew up" the pump he was trying to use. I was happy that he was outside doing something.

We don't have many plans for the day. No visitors expected. No phone calls expected. Dh doesn't have any children. I made a huge potato salad yesterday so we will have the rest of it at supper time along with a BBQed steak.

I got 2 of the 3 litter boxes changed yesterday. Today's "list" of things for me to do isn't very long. Change that one litter box and do the dishes.

I would like to work on my cross stitching if the sun comes out from behind the clouds. There is a Blue Jays game on this afternoon against the Cubs. Last year there was one woman at the Friday afternoon fibre group there were that was always leaving early to go watch the Jays. This past Friday there were 5 of us (not including this woman because she wasn't there) talking about baseball. We all admitted to getting interested due to last year's play off games.

OOPS!! I totally forgot that I have 2 loads of laundry to get done. The first load is started. Dh got up to have his coffee and his morning meds.

Good morning on the first day of summer in our hemisphere, Cathy!

We enjoyed this quip,

"Note to newcomers: our area is only on pre-heat."

And a Happy, Happy Father's Day to all who celebrate!

Thank you to the dear husbands of the village, as well.

Waving to all.

Good morning

My morning is off to a smooth start. Showered and hair washed so it is now air drying. I'll put it up in a summer style to get it off my neck after it dries.

We will have 3 generations here for lunch to celebrate DH on this Father's Day. This afternoon we will chat with DS52 and family as they celebrate DS52 on this Fathers day. This holiday is always a two edge sword kinda of a day. The father of DS17 and DD15 has chosen to not be in their lives since they were babies. DGS29 and DGS27 have disowned their fathers and want nothing to do with them. There is a disparity in this holiday with some celebrating and some with nothing to celebrate about their own relationships between father & children. I had the best father ever (IMHO) so I am filled with sweet, treasured memories of that experience. DH has served a double role of Grandfather & filling in the role of father for 4 of our grandchildren. DH and DS52 are examples of the very best of fathers..... while there is an unspoken (usually) hole because of the missing fathers in those 4 grandchildren lives.

Our temperature will be 105F/40C this afternoon so I will need to be vigilant in monitoring that DH doesn't do physical work in the heat.
