Dinner and a movie

Earlier this week the coffee ladies went to see the movie The Help.  After the movie we went for dinner at a local pub.

We discussed the clothes and cars and kitchens in the movie, we liked that part.

We didn't like the social pressure in the bridge club junior league set.  We know everyone wants to fit in.

We all knew we would rather spend time with Celia Foote from Sugar Ditch, than any of the other ladies.

One of the coffee ladies said she was happy she found us. Someone to drink lemon drop martinis and munch M & M's with , someone to play bunco, the modern day bridge, with, in jeans, flip flops and a tank top.

You and I know the junior league still exist, and they don't usually let people like the coffee ladies and me play. Lets just say none of us could keep a manicure for more than 1 hour.

I raise rabbits, another coffee lady designed and built her own chicken coop, another one is a rock climber, another was a diver for the coast guard. All of them would help you at the drop of a hat should the need arise.

Yes the coffee ladies and I are from the island of misfit toys, but I would rather be from that island than anywhere else.

"Fortune cookie never wrong..."

101 in the shade, it could happen.

The fleet of  yellow buses that signal the beginning of school more often than not bring with them a heat wave in our area of the country. School, and the heat, stared Wednesday.

I remember when my oldest daughter was in kindergarten, the kids were sent home at noon, due to the heat. The school at that time was not air conditioned. 

Other years there was no P.E. out side or recesses, too hot.

This is the thermometer on the back patio on the west side of the house this morning at 8:30...73.2 degrees F, 58% humidity. 

It is going to be a warm one. Hank has the right idea, he is all stretched out on the shower floor. 

I think when Lycra man gets back from his ride ( yes he went )

and Kathy gets back from the barn ( yes she went )

and I have the laundry half way done ( I have too, it's up to the roof )

we'll all meet here...

in the cement pond!

Pondering art in the park.

Five days a week I walk in the local city park. Half of the park is trees and grass and squirrels and coyotes, you have seen them here.

Half of the park is taken up by three buildings, The Teen Center, The Senior Center and the City Library. Located in  these areas are three statues and or works of art.

This one I get, it is in the pond in the park, it looks like the fountain

This one startled me one day when the guy on the bench to the right reading the paper turned the page...I know, there is no guy there ...but he was ...fooled me. 

This statue between the senior center and the teen center. It is a dad , a son and a grandpa...makes sense.

The next one is outside the children's entrance to the library and it puzzles me ...

OK . Could be ~ reading opens a window into other worlds~ but think like a sixth grader from here on out...children's entrance and all...

toilet?

thumb's up for reading?

uhhhh...

Ok my momma raised me right . I can not leave you with this image the last thing you see on this post.

Last flowers of summer... natures work of art.

Logo?

I have been reading on line about logos for your blog.

I have noticed some really cool headers on some of the blogs I follow.

So...I thought....maybe I can make one.

I got out the pencil and paper and drew. The youngest daughter helped me  add color on the computer.
( insert needing a teenager to help gray haired moms with technology here)

and voila a ~ logo?



At the very least a new header for my blog...

Hoe down...  :)

Shopping with the college bound daughter.

Kathy is a practical kid. She see's all the adds of the "must haves" for your dorm room. She says she wants to take her quilt that is on her bed. It is good enough, and besides it will make her feel more at home.

Yesterday we went shopping for some things she oked....

• hangers
• area rug
• butterfly chair
• jewelry organizer

Like I said, practical.

Well, most of the time.
