We had water heater breaking down on Monday, water heater installed on Tuesday and cleaned house and bought groceries both days. I was still vacuuming on the fourth for the companies downstairs accommodation. It all worked out well but it sure didn’t feel like the fourth. L.

My daughter was up in MN yesterday (Minneapolis) for a Teacher's union meeting and enjoyed the scenery and the drive. One thing about down here is few mosquitoes either that or they don't like me...too much garlic in my system? I would think with the humidity and the lake(s) we would have them but nada. I must admit I'm not out in the evening much. I've heard fireworks here for the last couple weeks but not enough to keep me awake. It's been sunny and hot here so they will have them tonight. I'd like to grill out but it's so dang hot here that standing over a hot grill doesn't appeal to me. Winter is the best time for grilling here! LOL! I'm in the mood for some salads of all kinds. There's a watermelon salad with mint and feta cheese that I want to try. Have a great day! It's 'craft' day for me and there might be some ice cream for dessert! LOL!
