[QUOTE="slsh, post: 171849, member: 8"] Good morning all! Dreamer, boy I hear you about the chill. My poor step-mother was on our back porch yesterday with a sweater on! It was nice in the sun if the wind wasn't blowing, but at night I'm still sleeping under heavy blankets! On the plus side, this should help with the electric bill - no AC! Our village does spray every Wed for the mosquitos so they haven't been too bad, though I wonder with gas prices how long they're going to keep that up. The ice cream sounds marvelous!!! Yum! Sharon - are you teaching this summer? Feels like it will be a decent day to mow the lawn, not too hot. Enjoy your brunch tomorrow - I'm impressed you're making a trifle! Fran - glad you and husband had a nice peaceful holiday. Sorry your mom is being obstinate, but I do have to admit to having a grudging admiration for her gfgness. ;) Of course, I'm not the one having to convince her to do what she needs to be doing. I hope the move for difficult child will be a good one, for all involved. Sharon - water aerobics would be a good thing to be addicted to, as opposed to ... say, chocolate? :rofl: I bet you're feeling pretty good, and I must say you're being a very good role model. I'm *almost* motivated enough to get the body moving.... almost. ;) Hope you don't get rained out. Marg - sounds like a nice relaxing weekend. Sorry difficult child 1 is moping... ah, young love. ;) Hope husband is able to retrieve your DVD and the machine shapes up! We had one of the best 4ths ever yesterday. Dad and step-mom got here about noon and for one of the few times in my life, I had the timing down cold for the meal. Especially amazing since it was all grilled. The shrimp and ribs were done at the same time, the salads were perfect, and the deserts turned out just right.
