I am going to sleep happy! The woman who was class mom my first and second years teaching (first grade, a zillion years ago), just reconnected via email! One of her kids is in graduate school and the other just graduated from Columbia. Nice, nice woman. Great kids. Great family. Wonderful memories.
Good night bumz.
g’night Betsy. Sleep tight, sweet pain free dreams, may you have no sand in your bed and may your bed always be tidy!
I’m caught up now, but am going to go read in bed. It’s hot here, so my sleep is all messed up.
See y’all tomorrow.
Just got in from exercising on the beach. Talk quietly in the morning, Cassie. I want to sleep in. More energy at night than in the morning.
i finally get back to the beach house and everyone’s going to bed!
my poor ol’ 80-yr-old mom looked so exhausted when she got home from two hours of weeding in the community garden that i volunteered to make a double batch of chocolate chip cookies for a historical society event she is helping with tomorrow. She was pleased, but she didn’t take it easy. Hulled and froze strawberries while i made cookies
@ newdealfarmgrrrlll:
You know she’ll never change, don’t you?
at least she didn’t both make cookies and deal with the strawberries.
@ sharonlee:
yeppers! She looked so woebegone when she looked at the stack of ingredients on the counter and said she still had to make cookies before bed, what could a dutiful 2nd shift daughter do but volunteer? Eating raw cookie dough had NOTHING to do with it! Really.
@ newdealfarmgrrrlll:
Have to admit that this daughter would have volunteered to find the best area bakery first thing in the morning and have the cookies ready for the event. But I did make fudge for my mom’s church bazaar each year.
Morning bumz!
Usual Saturday chores, groceries, laundry, etc., etc., etc. Already over 80 and it’s not even 7 a.m.
Madhubby is working OT today. Now that hurricane season is here, and it’s been so very hot, equipment is breaking down left and right. It never fails, all winter the bosses crack down on OT, then when it starts getting hot everyone panics and needs everything fixed yesterday in case there’s a storm. I’ve got to say that this heat is surely making the Gulf warmer, which does not bode well for a quiet storm season 
farmgrrrlll, I’m with you! Anytime is a good time for cookie dough
Hey! Where’s the exercise girl?
mm – it is only 79 here
Our high is expected to be 102 again. I am up early to help my orchid club do chores for one of our distinguished elderly members who has severe back problems.
I also found out that I have a two “buzzer” alarm.
I hit the snooze the first time and then about ten minutes later I get this loud “WOOF” in my ear. Someone knows what I am supposed to be doing. It is pretty funny actually. 
@ gnome de plume:
Heh! You get the “WOOF”, I get little fingers poking my face and a sweet voice saying “momma, I can see the sun. Why you still sleeping??”
OK I’m gone. I been over with Christie having morning coffee. See you Bumz later.
@ madmommy:
It’s a good thing you don’t live in the far north. You’d never get any summer sleep.
Morning bumz. It’s the weekend which means all good teens everywhere are sleeping in. This morning’s exercise program consists of walking TO the pool and climbing on to a floatie of some kind. Lifting a coffee cup is the arm exercise.
@ gnome de plume:
No kidding! I’d have to resort to lining all the windows with tin foil so the little dears couldn’t tell where the sun was!! Either that or I’d lay in a large supply of children’s Benadryl
One of the blinds in the boys’ room broke…as in fell apart…so that window is brighter. I hung a dark blue flat sheet over it last night in hopes of getting the little guy to sleep a little later. He made it to 7 this morning, so I’m going to have to come up with a more permanent/attractive solution!
@ Lea:
Hmmm…I’m sure no one was using it as a ladder to climb up to the ceiling fan. Because that would be dangerous, and we all know little boys never do dangerous things
I caught the big kid standing on the kitchen table once when he was about two. He was trying to “catch” the ceiling fan. That was good for a few new gray hairs, let me tell ya!!
One advantage in having kids taller than you are —- they can reach the fan controls and the vents and change the lightbulbs without climbing on anything. Disadvantages? Hmmmm…. I’ll let you know when I reach 100.
@ madmommy:
I think they thought it was fun to pull it all the way down and then let go to listen to it fly up and flap around the roll.
This is what I’m watching this morning. It’s excellent so far.
@ Lea:
Oh! I was thinking mini-blinds. The little guy is also fascinated with the “flapping around the roll” noise. The shade in the living room window has already succumbed to his fascination, the two in the kitchen will be next to go, sad to say. They lasted 3 years, so I guess that’s pretty good. I put sheers up in those windows instead of heavier draperies because I could not find a pattern or color that I liked, and that was also long enough, so I had to also get shades so we’d have some privacy. These windows are nearly floor to ceiling, so finding anything that doesn’t cost a mint is a bit tricky
I’d make my own but the cost of drapery-weight fabric is almost as much as having custom-made.
