Monykalyn oldest sounds like she’ll be having a great summer! Hope your area is safe from the tornadoes. So scary. Hope you enjoy your hard sided spinner. Our Winners (TJ Max in the US) always has tons of them. I’ve stuck with the soft sided spinners. Get good price from Costco for Samsonite.
$1k car repair
yikes.
Charlie sleeping on you, so cute.
6 day countdown yay!
Lynne thanks for well wishes! Hope you enjoyed the zoo.
Monykalyn wow your school’s get out early! My dads fav team was the Cardinals! I’ve heard good reviews of Drury. Mainly the Orlando one.
Mac I can’t imagine having to start school in August! It wouldn’t work in northern schools as August is one of our best months. Nobody wants to have May off here in trade for August. Too iffy. Weather is all over the place in May. Yesterday we were enjoying sunshine and patio. Today cold, and drizzling.
Keishashadow we have a portable AC unit for living room. Bedrooms all have ceiling fans. Never needed AC here. But climate changes are real. Past few summers have been brutal. We never used to have long heat waves. Now it’s all we have. And fires.
I def don’t win dental war. I didn’t have the great dental care they have now. And it wasn’t cause we couldn’t afford it. My uncle was our dentist. They just didn’t do routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, etc when I was a kid. And I remember when they finally fluoridated the water. I’m really dating myself! It was a big uproar,! My daughters have great teeth, one has a filling the other nothing. I think it doesn’t have anything to do with genetics, and more to do with dental care advances. My DH also has a mouth full of fillings!
Charade congrats to B. One of the speakers at youngest DD’s high school grad was quite good, he injected a lot of humour into his speech. I think it may have been the mayor. The rest of it is just looooong! Lol, I had to look up Baccalaureate because here it means a Bachelors degree and I was sure she was graduating high school. We use different terminology I’ve noticed. We do refer to grade 12 as senior year, but don’t refer to other grades as sophomore, junior, etc.
I had to think about SS too! The penny did drop! We call it Sunday school too. So I’m glad I don’t have to think about another name as regardless of the name it will be Sunday school to me too.
Pattyw great pic! Congrats to Troy. My grad (Bachelors of Social Work) requested Orlando too. Funny how that happens lol! We had a great trip. Sadly she prob won’t walk the stage. She has her Bachelors credential but she found out if she takes 3 more courses she can also graduate with a Criminology diploma. So she’s taking those classes now in summer session. The college has a stupid rule (imo) that you have to graduate with the lesser degree first before higher degree. So they’re not letting her grad with her class, she has to defer it till next June and grad with that year. She won’t want to do that as she doesn’t know that class. Won’t mean anything to her so she’ll prob just ask them to mail her diploma
She had gone to her academic advisor but they wouldn’t make an exception for her. So sad.
Keishashadow haha, doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue! I can see why it’s shortened to CCD. My friends church just called it Parish School.
I’m fond of 3 week vacays. My daughter (oldest) and I have usually spent 10 days in August at Deerfield Beach, then drive up to Orlando for 2 weeks. But not happening this Aug. I just spent 7 days in Deerfield with youngest dd then 10 days at Universal. So 17 days. I was good with it but would have liked 10 days in Deerfield/Ft. Lauderdale. However she had to get back, summer classes started. At least I don’t have to worry about the dogs. My husband stays home. He’s not into theme parks. So they’re solely mom/daughter trips.
Lynne nice zoo pics. Yay for new AC coming Wednesday! We had a choice when we recently put in new high efficiency furnace and hot water on demand to do AC. But the choice was either the hot water on demand system or AC. The DH has been wanting hot water on demand for years, I didn’t have it in me to push for AC. So will make due with ceiling fans and portable AC. If it gets to unbearable I can always retreat down to basement rec room. It stays cool in summer.
Mac that had me laughing visualizing your cat with one tooth breaking into an egg! A friend of ours who raises chickens was just by to pick up DH to go see a friend of theirs in hospital and brought over a dozen eggs. Always nice having fresh eggs.
Wow 2x a week mowing! When it gets hot here the lawns die off cause it gets dry too. My husband likes it cause he doesn’t have to mow! Sheesh.
57 & rainy here. Yesterday was enjoying the patio.
Tink, seems a recurrent theme here of our kids requesting Orlando Grad! We’ve taught them well lol!
Oldest and I were invited to youngest’s house to watch GOT and her feed was getting interrupted too, ugh. 3 times! Oh the shouts! There were a few of us watching. I have it recorded so I’m going to watch again, just to digest everything. I don’t think we missed much. Seems a lot of people were having problems with feed. Watching news this morning another oops made it onto the set. This time a plastic water bottle.
Never push the red button! Lol.
Lynne cute Groot!
Monykalyn cute Lola pic! Do the older girls socialize with you?
Robo hope you get glasses sorted out. We never go to the optometrists in those stores. I’m sure some may be good. But I stick to one that has his own office. Been going to him for years. He was recommended by my doctor and he’s been really good.
Enjoy your Monday everyone. No plans today. Dreary day here. But have to go to grocery store for a few things and I’m out of milk for my morning coffee. Don’t know what I want for dinner. Maybe some pasta.
