Too Hot to Cook

Weather is hot and humid. Heat Waves (4 days above 90) are becoming the norm. No one wants to cook and hardly wants to eat. Good thing I discovered the "end cuts" in the deli section at Belmonts. (The lettuce is from our garden!!)

Cooling Off, Kinda

Another hot day. I thought if I went to the water at 9 am that it wouldn't be so oppresive. I was wrong. It was very hot. We lasted two hours, then left. I was good for nothing until 6 pm when I went to the Y. It's a sad day when I'm too hot to go to the beach in the evening.

Afternoon Activities 7/5/2010

Yes, there I am in a wading pool with my favorite tie-dye shirt one... teaching Theo how to blow bubbles. It was 93 out and he was a great student. He also liked pretending he was a tomatoe plant when I watered him!!

It's almost impossible to get Ava to smile AND look at the camera!!

Theo insisted on wearing my new sun hat and pretending he was a pirate.

100 Years

Imagine celebrating your 100th birthday at the Canochet Club at Narragansett Town Beach. That is exactly what my buddy, Mollie, did on the 4th of July. Over 100 people came from all over the country to honor this amazing woman. Her two daughters (ages 73 & 67) gave tributes to their mom which made me respect my spunky friend even more. For anyone who wated GMA on July 5th.... you saw my buddy, too. (Willard Scott honors centurians.) The first day I met Mollie, 5 years ago, I took the photo that adorned her cake. She was basking in the sun at our favorite beach, Narragansett.

Wedding at Disney

The real reason for our whirlwind trip to Disneyland last weekend was to attend my nephew's wedding at the California Grand Hotel in Disneyland. Weather was hot, but service was short, so no one got too sunburned!! The bride and groom looked happy and gorgeous. It was great to see all my far flung family members and enjoy their company.

Disneyland

Last Thursday and Friday were spent with my daughter and grandaughter in "the happiest place on earth." Weather was perfect for our two day marathon. Because my parents and all my siblings and many of their kids were also there, we met up with them and rode many rides together. Evelyn spent hours waiting to meet six of the 7 princesses. I loved every minute of these two days.
