Whew!!!!! SAo much to catch up on! Must have missed yesterday's slew of "watched Threads" as I had NO clue who Paul was!!!! Had to get caught up---SO! A BIG welcome to you too, Paul! Any man that can sit and cry all day over his departed mother's writings, recipes and notes is a GIANT of a man--in my opinion.
I promise--I will go see your Blog......just have too much on my plate right now.....

We have had a week of near 100 degrees! When you walk outside--it is like someone has thrown a wet, hot blanket over you. You almost gasp for air!
Anyway--they are promising a cooling trend (???) after tomorrow night. Here's the 5-day forcast! Does it look like "cooling" to you????

The poor plants!!!! Several in my garden are scorched! Like my Morning Glory--and my Tropical, red Hibiscus that I planted in the bed at the front of the house is not red--but a washed out shade of something resembling red and peach.....
Things are wilting--and the soil is not dry. Filling all my Bird baths every day!

Sharon--WHEN are you leaving for AK? If you have time--and would like--I will D-mail you my sister's e-mail address. Just tell her you are my friend--she is VERY nice and helpful!
At least you could get some down-to-Earth information from someone there....
I think your idea of the context of your next articles is a wonderful one! I mean--"telling" Aunt Bett all about your trip! And--I bet she will be listening and reading......:o)

Also--go ahead and have the Yard sale with Ashley! Good mother-daughter time....You could even throw in some of the stuff YOU no longer need! You won't make any riches off of it--but it is a pleasant way to spend a day.....UNTIL--you have to pack all the unsold stuff up and move it back inside,....

Betty----
Polyps in your large intestine are something Dr.'s want to always check out. They can be nothing--or they can be precursors to cancer. They usually want to remove them. So, PLEASE--do as they say!!! Go!!! Have it checked out!
You could Google "Polyps" to learn a bit about them before you go.

Ruby--
I took pictures too of ny 2nd daughter's 1st B-Day "meal" of cake. It was a riot! All hand-to-mouth and all over her face! Her older (4yrs.) sister trying to help her......Too bad--Don't have it on digital. They were not yet invented!

This "child" turned 40 end of April.....

Just went out and took some pictures. It is sad....nothing to brag about when you have had a week of 105* heat-index! Besides--the A/C at work is hardly working.....We are all dripping---running fans to help move the air----So much for the biggest Home Improvement Co. in the World!!!!!
Did you know that all the heat and A/C settings in any HD store--anywhere--are controlled by the Headquarters in Atlanta, GA? WE have NO thermostat to change anything.....Talk about "mass murder".......:o(( cheeeep---cheeeep--cheeeep----

SO! Here are some photos.....Here are my heat-scorched Hibiscus blooms. They are supposed to be a vibrant RED!
