Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Heating up here, well into the 80's. Guests over for dinner last night, Mike and his Golden Retriever Max. Grilled up some Swordfish, baked up some flatbread, sliced up a tomato salad (first of the year), Mike brought a Gazpacho and all the fixin'. It was all washed down with some awfully fine vino topped off with a port and some ice cream cupcakes. (The Temecula wine was better than the Paso wine.) We just relaxed in the patio and enjoyed the cool evening/night breezes, listening to KUSC, the rushing water and nice easy banter. A lovely evening and the food was damn good.

Gary discovered a leak in his RO system, the overflow at the faucet hood is dripping. He is thinking it might be less stressful and quicker to just get a new system than to attempt to track down and repair the existing.

Mary Lou and Gary are thinking of avoiding the heat by watching Guardians of the Galaxy in the early afternoon.

Hi all. Princess came home from a dance at one of our local churches with a raging case of pink eye that she apparently hid from me so she wouldn't have to miss the dance. The sunglasses she was wearing were said to be part of the Hawaiian theme of the dance. Had to miss the Tall ships parade of sail to take her grounded butt to the Urgent Care.

Oh man, no bueno. Hope it heals up quick.

The joys of parenthood. When they become teens, often you just have to kill them and start all over.

And now you know why many adult species eat their young!

Not fun; I still have drops left over from my last bout. Tell her she has to write "I'm Sorry" notes to everyone at the dance for potentially infecting them.

Yep, that's the main thing - she was wildly contagious at the time. It's pretty easy to knock it out once you start with the drops, but until then she should have been in her room. But oh, the dance!

Choices, choices - and now the consequences. Git 'er, mom!

I'm sure she picked it up from one of those little darlings at school this week.

Isn't school out yet??!!! field trips, school dances, pinkeye - make it stop! lol Schools here start early and get out earlier than we used to but still, even I would've been done by now!

Last day is Tuesday because of making up the 5 snow days they had this year.

Our town gets out early compared to some others around here. We start the Tuesday before Labor Day each year.

Good grief.

I grew up in Michigan, and we always returned to school the day after Labor Day - no matter what. We didn't get out until June, and that date was flexible because of what you mentioned - snow days. Memorial Day was the last official school holiday, and we had to go back for at least a couple of weeks after that.

When I moved to the SE USA, it amazed me that the kids went back in the middle of August - August!! That means the schools have to keep the A/C blasting a lot longer than they would if they stayed out till Labor Day. Stores selling back to school clothes are pushing a fall-oriented line that has nothing to do with what the weather dictates. So silly!
