......I can't believe it is July already. What happened to the rest of the year? It has been hot here and then a few days of not so good and now is turning back to sunny and bright and warmer again.
.....I made a bunch of the neck coolers and sent them to the kids. I also made some for Eileen's nephew who is in Iraq, for some reason he thinks it is hot there.... can't imagine why. I have also make some for dogs. Will try one on Nick and see if he will wear it.
.....On the 4th we barbecued some meat and I made a polynesian salad.. well that is what it was supposed to be. I opened the shredded cheese and looked at it and said to Roy.. it is full of bugs. He looked at it and said no it is ON the cheese. Mold? No. Then HE read the package. I had gotten Nacho cheese thinking it was the taco blend and it had jalapeno peppers in it. So our salad had a zing to it. Caribean maybe? Not so good anyway. LOL
...... Last night we took dinner to our friend's Joyce and Mike. It was really good. Then we all (except Himself who does not do such) got in the hot tub. We were relaxing and visiting and all of a sudden Joyce said "Michael there is a slug behind you on the wall." So he turned around and snapped it RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE HOT TUB!! I was sure that neither of us two women could move that fast at our ages. Joyce just flung herself over the edge and was on the deck. She tried to get her feet under her and landed on her butt and slid aways on her back. Then we were all laughing so hard she could not get her feet under her. Finally Roy helped her up and she went to sit in a deck chair. Where was Michael? Fishing the slug out of the tub. YUCK!! Joyce didn't go back in, I wasn't going to but decided the water was full of chlorine and so would have killed most any germs. Sometimes we just have WAAAY too much fun!! Too end an almost prefect night we went in the house and ate brownies with ice cream and chocolate sauce and raspberries on them.
