Good morning everyone. Yes, Dude will be a happy camper in a dark man-cave...hope you get the light adjusted. Myst is a great game Gerry...enjoy. Time for a cup or two of WADDB and bagels.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone

Good Sunday morning. Hoo boy, we're paying for that nice weather we've been having. Heading to the mid to upper 90's today and the rest of the week.

Not much on the agenda today. The Germans have already made their first obligatory shopping trip to Wal Mart! They do a LOT of shopping while they are here and even venture into St. Louis to the malls. I'm thinking spaghetti and meatballs for supper tonight. Then they are on their own for the rest of the week. They pretty much take care of themselves while they are here. They had their walk and a dip in the pool this morning and Guenter is now making their breakfast.

Happy Sunday all!

We also enjoyed a run of really nice weather the last two weeks or so but this week the temps are supposed to rise into the 90's with feel like temps over 100. I can already feel the difference today in how warm the house is.


I hope you each enjoy your day and your week if I don't pop back in!

Good morning.

The garage opener light does work properly after all, but it's really hard to catch it in the "off" position since a millisecond after I open the door into the garage from the house the light switches on. I only realized it was turning off when I went outside to take out some garbage and noticed it through the window. The complaints must have been about the fact that i moved things around in there.

Speaking of Dude, he has gone from a timid little scaredy-cat to, at the age of 14, being a confident boy who will allow people to pet him instead of running away and hiding. I'm really proud of the little guy for overcoming his fear of people at such an advanced age.

After our much-needed rain we're back to full-on sunshine. I woke up very late this morning and am about to go outside with my coffee to sit on the patio and catch some morning rays on my face. Then I have another glorious day of doing nothing at all except read a book.
