Miss Terri and the boys are coming for a visit. They will be here Monday afternoon. Miss Terri is the mother of my monster guys. It can get a bit interesting around here when she visits.

I have been trying to get the boys to clean up their rooms before the younger brothers get here. These two have things the little ones don't need to be into. Some of the stuff I don't want them to have, but who am I?? Oh well, life goes on.

I believe the honeymoon period is over. It was real nice around here after Branden first got home. It lasted for almost three months, but the fights are starting again. Man, I hate all the fighting!!! The yelling, swearing, hitting, all that fun stuff. Of course I end up in the middle of it because I don't like the language, or the physical violence!! three or four more years, then theywill be out of High School and hopefully start building a life of their own in the own place. then I think I will go over and put my feet up on their furniture, and leave my stuff all over and so on. You get the picture.. PARENTAL REVENGE!!

I have found that nothing frustrates me faster than my computer not going online. When I want to come pester everyone, and I sit here and can't connect, I go nutzo!! You would think that at my age I would understand having patience. Not this gal... I have never been good at waiting. You should have known me when I was pregnant!!!! Those were the longest 8 months of my life. Sorry ladies, I was one that never carried a baby full term. Thank you God!!! So most of today I have been miffed... I do not understand why as everything is working as it is suppose to work. So I go away and come back later.

Yesterday was my son's 41st birthday. I was able to find him a gift that really pleased him and it tickled me to the core. He had been talking about one time he had a deep tissue message. Well, I just happen to know a woman who does that. So for his birthday we gave him a gift certificate for a 1 hour massage. I hadn't seen a grin like that in a long time. I think we hit a soft spot. He made the appointment and he goes in tomorrow afternoon.

It has been raining pretty good here today. Our fire danger is very high so this rain is needed. I am not fond of forest fires or brush fires. I like the trees and bushes nice and green. I know, picky!! But when I look out my windows I see trees all around me. No, not wanting a fire...

Billy has a bit of a challenge today. His motor mouth got him in trouble with his girlfriend's dad. Now he has to apologize. That should be good for him. Especially, if he want to continue to see this young lady. He is going to have to behave himself and Daddy is very protective of his girls.. LOL!!! I am proud of this father.. I have talked to him and I have meet the young lady. So I completely agree with the father. Mean huh??

Enjoy the cooler weather if you are having it..

Thanks to Gloria, I figured out how to change the look again. I may just some day get good at this stuff. It just goes to prove that there is help for the "senior class" around here... I like this one, at least you can read the comments!!

It is raining here.. Feels good after over 100*...
Bye for now,
Granny

YAHOO.... I am fixed. My computer is not dumping me!!!! This has been the longest few weeks. Now I have to get the wireless fixed... That is where the problem is.. And get Branden's computer reprogrammed. He unplugged and dumped everything... I told him he had to pay for it.

So plain and simple, I"M BACK!!! Miss Terri should be here on the 23rd, until the 26th. I am sure she will come in here and chat with whoever she can contact.

Love from a happy camper now,
Granny

OK, it is HOT!! In this area we are breaking record all over the place. Right now it is 4:10 PM and it is 98.5* outside my house. That is just too hot for me. I prefer warm, 80* is good. OK, I will stop complaining.... What is really strange is that the sky is not clear. There are clouds and this is unusual.

Today is the last day of the summer school program Branden has just completed. He should be home in a few minutes. I am very proud of him. He has gone every day and that is great.

My computer is still not letting me online. So now I am using Billy's. My tech was going to come over yesterday to fix it, but the day befor he had bone morrow removed. To quote him, "I didn't know it would feel so wonderful today." What an attitude. This man is truely something special.He called and told me he had to go lay down, I told him to take care of himself first. He will get here some day.

Well gang, I must go for now. I need to go pick up the kid and make a macaroni salad for dinner. Maybe I will pop back later.
Love from sweldering Washington,
Granny
