Sleeping with a kicking grandchild will wake you early every time!!!

Mo: hope u r enjoying your time off. Is you weather pretty hot now?

Zona--- fun blog. My husband will really like these. I liked them all so couldn't even pick one.

Don't have much to write this time of morning. The nest is sparkling clean (you are welcome very much), jello shots made and in refrig, matt out for any bamms. Splats, or kerplops this morning. Yup everything done

Now if I can just keep my granddaughters from fighting with each other it will be a nice day.

Btw, Louis drove for the first time yesterday. He took no meds so he could go to the Apple store (his favorite place to go) and did pretty well.

Dianne, you look beautiful even if you may have bruises from a kicking GD.

Zona, These remind me of when I was a kid and bought bubble gum. There was always a joke like these inside and I loved them. These were all very funny.

Like Confucius says, "man who fly upside down have hairy crack up."

P.S. Thanks for the Jello shots, Dianne. It's close enough to noon here to have one...or two...or...

Dianne Well, look at you! If you got up early, it sure took you a long time to get into the nest. Were you cooking for the grandkids? One way to keep them from fighting is to take them to a movie and you sit between them. Speaking of movies, I want to see "Moonrise Kingdom". Have you seen the ads on TV for it?

SacBarb I remember those bubble gums. I gave them up, though, in favor of the kind that came with a pack of Elvis cards. Boy, I collected a lot of those. I had them taped inside my closet doors like a big Elvis display. I was always so excited when I'd open a pack of gum and sort through the cards inside and find a new one that I hadn't collected yet.
