As always, there is a jigsaw puzzle being worked on the dining room table. This time it's as diabolical as always - a picture in the shape of a triangle, with pieces that are all triangular shaped. I placed a few of the pieces last night, but I'm just not as good at it as I used to be. My 9 yr. old grandson is unbelieveably good at it though.
The boys have to read out loud at least 20 min. a day, and last night I listened to the 7 yr. old. I last heard him read when I was here this past spring, and has he ever improved! I am the book-giving grandma, so you know it makes me happy. All my grandkids get a book or a series from me for birthdays and Christmases. Everyone else can give toys, etc., but I'll stick to the books. The 9 yr old is on the 5th or 6th in the Harry Potter series, which is amazing to me. I never made it past the 6th book.
It's currently still in the low 60's today, and I'm really comfortable in my sweat pants. Of course they are California pants and not suitable for really cold weather in the East. I still have sweat shirts and pants from when I lived East, and it's rare that I can wear them in the Sacramento area. I'm loving this weather!
Since I'm not driving much this trip I spend more time at home reading. I just ordered another book to read on the way home (having already read the one I brought along for that occasion), and will probably order yet another before I leave. (They are all part of a series). It's not so difficult to read when I sit close to a window and can get some daylight. Also, I'm starting to wear the glasses prescribed for me for getting my license renewed last March. They were for distance, but they seem to work well with the computer now, as well as driving. I can't figure it out.
This is turning out to be a beautiful day.
- Welcome Rain
I don't like the cold associated with it, but the rain is very welcome. I have the feeling it will cause problems in areas that have frequent mudslides, as well as areas that were burned the last year or so. It is interesting to look at...

Gotta be careful today! I was ready to leave the house to go to the library and then to the gym, and decided to hit the bathroom before leaving. Lo and behold! I realized I put my sweat pants on backwards this morning, with the drawstring...
- Finished!
I just put the last pieces into the jigsaw puzzle I started on June 14. That is 1000 pieces. I thought I was missing 3 pieces but moved the coffee table a bit and found them on the floor. I'm posting a picture of the finished puzzle,...
- Just Relaxing
I haven't done much of anything the past two days since I opened up that jigsaw puzzle box. I need to go to Target but decided it would be less crowded on Monday, so I'm putting it off until tomorrow. This represents two days of work...

Jeannie called me this morning and told me that Arianna said to her, "I'm so excited about camping. I already know which dress I'm going to wear, but don't worry, it isn't white so it won't get dirty!" I said I wondered...
