We arrived home to see the grass much too high. My goodness what will I do when we hit the road and we are away from here for some time? I guess when I get back from our travels I will have to cut the grass with a machete.
Before we arrived home we met our daughter in town and she invited us to go eat with them. It was Emily's birthday so we wanted to share in the celebration. We went to Two Senoritas and had a real nice party. Frank...my son in law picked up the bill which was real nice. Thanks you two for feeding us.
We visited for some time and then we all went to Wally World to pick up some things for the weekend. That took some time and before we knew it the clock on the wall reported it to be 11:00 pm. Sarah decided to come home with us and spend the weekend. She is a good house guest. She sleeps until 12:00 noon and then plays on the computer...and plays with the Wii...eats very little and is hardly ever heard from.
We got in bed about 1:00 am and the morning came real soon. We were up with the birds and after coffee I was out pushing the mower about 7:00 and mowed until 10:00. We had a 104 heat index and it sure felt like it. I put the mower up and then came inside to shower off and put on dry clothes.
We spent the rest of the day inside trying to stay cool. We just can't stay here in the summer so we have to figure out where we will go during this time of the year. We do know that we will be here in the fall and the spring because the weather is OK then.
We got our electric bill for last month and it was $140.00. That is not bad for staying every day with the AC going...fridge in the barn plus doing the wash there everyday. This sure saves us a lot of money each month and we hope to do the same in the fall and spring.
Well not much going on down here in our part of the world. We will be back on the road doing our thing and counting the days until we are headed your way...

Speedy, aren't you supposed to take your clothes off before showering, unless using the outside shower, of course.
Just joshing you.

Speedy, can't you pay one of those grandkids to come over and mow? Your too old to be out there at 104 anything. I want you to be able to make it to summers in Canada with John!!!!
I'm glad you got the lawn mowed without heat stroke. Can you find someone to mow while you're not there? Stay cool. See you soon on the road.
Hey Joe, we too are counting the days till we blow this pop stand and get on the road with Dogpound in the rear view mirror, but we sure do like the fees here at home, saving some money.
I never open your journal without wondering if this is the one that says we are moving on and done with the day to day rat race.
Travel safe, and Rod is right we do have a cool spot here for you to hold up in those hot months in Texas.
CO will be here before you know it, see ya then.
Stay Safe
