My grand daughter was senior class princess and Ted and I went to the homecoming parade to take pictures. He had the camera charged and ready. The sun was hot and there was no breeze and the parade was late. I had failed to tell him that the floats throw candy to the spectators. He was caught up in that and totally missed Ashley as she went by. I got to jump up and down and scream and he missed the moment in pursuit of milk duds and bubble gum. I could not believe that all the adults were so interested in penny candy. Ted has been most interested in the yard this year and so far has watered and kept the yard green. My twins have a black pick up and new driver's licenses and are not diligent or dependable about mowing. It looked pretty bad and we did it ourselves and paid the price. We could hardly get out of bed this morning and for once, I was patient with Jose for anointing each blade of grass and fire plug. It was good just to stand and rest and let him have at it. I think Ted intends to fire the twins but I will call a lawn service if he does. I have a friend who is having a painful surgery the last of the month and I am trying to freeze 4 or 5 dinners for her that she can just microwave and forget. She is alone and on a very tight budget.So far, I have two done.
