Still hot!!!

Yes, yesterday we broke the longest held record of the most days over 100-we are now up to 70 and counting. We should be with the average temp of 92....but instead it was 107!!! What the heck! I think if we do get this cool front this weekend, we may roll out our winter coats-such as they are-and turn on the heat!

Please, bring on the cool.....and by the way....still NO rain! It has also been about 3 months of this......doing a rain dance here.

9/11

It says it all. We watched some of the memorial tributes, but I cried too much. I forget that Sara, though she has been her 4 years, the details never were discussed. Today, she found out that the attacks were on purpose and she was so shocked and mad and did not understand why....just like the rest of us on that day. I did shield Ruth from the attacks for many years until she learned about it in school. I am that mother hen that wants to protect my little chicks from some of the horrors of the world and maybe help them believe that there are mostly good people in the world.

Give someone a hug today!

Volleyball champs

Today--all day--Ruth's school volleyball team was in their first tournament. It is early in the season and they have had only one game before that in which they swept the floor with the other team....bragging mom.

Well--the girls swept the tournament too and came in first place. It was a long day beginning at 8 and ending at 5, but with some breaks between thank goodness.
