GLORIOUS SUMMER!

July 20, 2009. A Barbecue in celebration on reaching 10,000 miles on my 2003 Kia Rio. Donna is manning the barbecue. Notice how dry the lawn is. We had a hot summer. I just loved this picture of Richard. He has had a wonderful smile from the time he was born.

People hovering around the kitchen where Debbie is fixing delicious food.

My car's special cake for it 10,000 miles. As of today, my car has 12,385 miles.


Today is such a beautiful sunny day. I did not take any pictures today but I wanted to show a picture of Summer. I looked back and found these July pictures. I cannot remember the occasion exactly except we had several people over for a barbecue and I thought it was an ideal time to celebrate my first 10,000 miles on my car.
Today was not supposed to be a day of running around but it was anyway. We went to finish up my Temple recommend and the only other thing on the trip was to buy milk.
Then we ended up buying a doorbell and a faucet for my sink. We came home and had lunch and after lunch Marge decided she needed some material for her quilting project at a quilt store. We stopped at McDonald's and had icecream cones; then we went to Joann's Fabric so Marge could buy more stuff. After that we went to Penney's in Sequim so Donna could buy some outfits for little Olive. I bought a new purse. I had a purse that I just bought at Penney's last month. The handle started shedding little black pieces on my arm. I showed the clerk. I did not have my receipt but she gave me $8. credit which in turn I used to buy outfits for Olive. I like dealing with Penney's. The clerks all treat you so well.
Donna told the clerk about her granddaughter, Olive, and the clerk said "What a darling name". Good choice, Michael and Rachel.
Finally we got back home and Donna is upstairs cooking dinner and I am down in the basement which is extremely comfortable. Donna says something must be wrong with her air conditioner because she can't get it under 81 degrees.
I hope our Summer lasts a few more days.
Tomorrow is the day I am going to Renton to visit Debbie, Kent and Erik and Donna and Laif are going to Pullman.
That's all for now.
