It’s hot out and the statewide fires are spreading smoke everywhere. Last night the winds had to be blowing at 40 miles plus which couldn’t help. Hopefully today at our two baseball games, we’ll be far enough north to be away from the smoke.
Yesterday I was gone for most of the day. Jag went to Uncle T’s and Ty had a friend over and went to the pool. Later in the afternoon Mom went to get her nails done while the boys were playing outside but I was home 15 minutes or so after she left.
Lots of cotton blowing around outside from all the cottonwood trees but it seems to come down a bit more in clumps this year which is good. Man we’d move to the mountains tomorrow if Grandma wasn’t so close and we could afford it, (oh yea there’s that). The air is so much cleaner and the temps are much more accommodating. Oh well, someday, it gives us a goal to shoot for.
It’s 6:15 and I need to go to the store before baseball as we’re bringing hamburgers and hot dogs (half of them) for the 40 plus person end of baseball season party after our games today. Not that we have the money to buy the meat but when the coach sent out a list asking who could buy what, people were choosing to bring napkins or paper plates, or condiments or a salad or hamburger or hot dog buns but no one chose meat? I don’t know if they couldn’t afford it or what but we stepped up and said we’d buy the meat but couldn’t buy for all 40 plus people so finally another single dad jumped in and said he’d buy the other half. Good thing as we were about to have a big bbq with everything except the stuff you bbq! The coach is bringing a bunch of beer (which we don’t drink anyhow) and he reserved a park in Golden on Clear Creek where the kids can tube in the water. We have to find life jackets somewhere as no way our kids are going in any moving water without them. Mom’s still leery which means I’ll probably end up standing in the creek (pronounced “crick” like brick, ha ha) in case anyone gets in trouble.
That’s about it, time to run, take care and have a great weekend. Buy some extra freakin food, if for no other reason, just so I’ll shut up about it, humor me.
Take care and God Bless.
