Went to Mass at 10:30 and had breakfast after at BH with Lou and Carmel and Hendrina.  It is still very hot and we talked about going for a drive but Nancy phoned and invited us to the pool and for a BBQ so we went there for a lovely afternoon. Tom & Joyce came after supper with their grandchildren who are visiting from Texas and they all went for a swim.

Wednesday July 17

Today is our 48^th Wedding Anniversary. Weather is still very hot and humid. Jack and Nancy picked us up at 5 pm and we went to Bunkers for supper. We were the only customers and we both ordered the large platter of appetizers, wings, mushrooms, cheese sticks, onion rings, shrimp and dill pickles all battered and deep-fried. It came with 3 sauces and carrot and celery sticks. After supper Jack took us on a wonderful 2-hour tour on some back roads I have never been on before. We saw where several friends lived and some new places we didn’t even know existed! It was very enjoyable and just the thing that I love to do.

Thursday July 18

Still hot and humid but cloudy so the sun isn’t so strong. Nancy called and after a quick coffee at BH we went to the pool at 2 pm. Tom & Joyce were there too and the water was like a batbathtubfter going in twice we came home for supper and then went back at 7 for another dip.

Still in a heat wave with high humidity and storm warnings. We had lunch at BH and then went back for desert! It finally started to rain around 4:30 and we have had storms on and off all evening.

Tuesday May 21

Cathy joined me at work today to get an idea of what to do. She took me to lunch at BH.  John and I went to the Historical Society meeting. Judy gave a rather long and sometimes boring talk on the Grover Family. Parts were interesting but al little too much info on the family that didn’t have anything to do or live in Asphodel/Norwood. Humid and thunder storms.
