Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real... In the Heat of Summer

Since it was going to be 90 degrees we decided to postpone our mini golf plans in favor of playing in the creek. It was the perfect choice. We thought about going to the pool afterward but ended up playing UNO in the Phillip's air conditioned home. Another good choice!

 

 

 

Friday night Gary came home and asked if we would like to go to the Bellville Car Show. I was going to grill chicken but hadn't started it so we decided to go walk around. After 90 degrees all week by Friday evening it had cooled down and there was a little breeze blowing which made it pleasant.

 

First time seeing this little German vehicle. The man who owned it had

been looking for one for years and found this one in California.  

 

We also got a chance to tour a little local historical museum which hosted an open house during the car show. The home was beautifully done and the military room contained

 quite a collection of memorabilia and some of it was very touching.

 

We came home and sat on the deck and munched on chips and cheese and

drank a mudslide in lieu of dinner. Gotta love summer!

My garden is doing well other than something chewing on the sunflower leaves...ants? I thinned the plants out a bit. It goes against my nature to pull out a perfectly thriving plant but I am told that is a necessary part of the gardening process. I have to laugh at myself because I keep looking at  the one plant and thinking this has to be spinach but I have never grown spinach. I hate to eat it and be wrong.
