Heating Up

   Things muddle along with my houseful of guests. This was the grandkids last day of school before the summer break. They all got reasonably good report cards. It was a half day for them and a friend invited them for an afternoon at her pool (unlike me she keeps it well heated), and they got home around 5:30.

    Tomorrow they have no school but Judy has to go in for the morning to tidy her room. Then it will truly be vacation time!

    I had just over an hour of tennis this morning but it was blisteringly hot and I came home very red in the face and just a bit nauseated. We had a very tight match - played a tiebreak at 5-5 (we were all just too hot by then) and Kathy and Paul won 7-5. I was just relieved I was able to walk off the court!

    I had a nice cooling swim when I got home - the pool is in the mid 70'sF but still refreshing. Then I met some Probus friends for lunch, vegetable quesadillas, then home for a nap. Since then I have been reading my new book which I think I will thoroughly enjoy.

Fun With Friends

    Cat is using my new furniture as a scratching post. Scream!! We have a spray bottle handy to discourage her but it isn't really working. 

   I had a quiet weekend as the family were at their trailer. Now it's all steam ahead until Friday when they depart again for the weekend. The kids are still in school this week so I don't really see too much of them.

   My Bridge group was here for "Afternoon Tea" today as the Senior's Centre where we usually play is closed this week. We played two rubbers of Bridge then stopped for tea and treats, then back to the cards again. It was after 3:00 p.m. when we finally stopped. I am still stuffed as I overindulged as usual. Not much supper tonight.

Having Company

   One of my house guests. Her name is Holly and she is just under one year old. She is the perfect guest - very undemanding as long as you feed her and play with her occasionally!

I managed to distract her with one of her favourite toys.

Weekend chores

   Did my good deed today. I had a very full grocery cart this morning (family coming to stay tomorrow while their house is being renovated) so I let the next two people in line go in front of me. They only had a couple of items. The lineups at my grocery store, even on the weekends, are never very long so I don't mind waiting a bit.

   Gardening chores this afternoon. Trimmed the bushes by the front walk as all this rain has made them flourish unreasonably. I still need to buy some more veggies, perennials and plants to put in my hanging baskets but will wait until Monday as the Garden Centres are usually very busy on the weekends.
