Can you believe how cold it is outside?! Summer is by far my favorite season, and it seemed like it took forever to get here and seconds to pass. We were all in long sleeves and coats yesterday, and we all talked about how cold it was.
It was all very My Fair Lady.
“Hasn’t it turned unseasonably cold?”
After a day of cold temps, we decided on pizza for dinner. We all trucked up to mom’s and ate our hearts out. Have you ever tried Mr. G’s jalapeno cheesy sticks? Well, if you don’t like HOT then don’t bother. But if you do? They’re a must-have! After dinner, I held my little nephew and got him to sleep and then snapped this picture:
Grandpa is the party.
See how his boots are off? He used to pay me a quarter to take off his boots and socks. Last night, he promised Lacy and Elly ONE DOLLAR EACH if they would each take a boot and sock off. Inflation!
They did their job, and then they scampered off to play. About thirty minutes later, they remembered the dollar grandpa had promised them. They ran to his side, found him sleeping, and woke him up this this alarm:
“GRANPDA! GRANDPA! YOU NEED TO GIVE US OUR DOLLAR!”
He thought it was the cutest thing, dug into his pocket, pulled out his wallet and paid his blondies.
This, readers, is not the man who raised me.
Good thing too. With payouts like that, I would have amounted to absolutely nothing.
Happy Saturday, all. Hope your day is filled with warmth and love and cocoa and hearths and home and everything else that makes your soul go “mmmmmmmmmm.”
While I am so fond of summer and sunshine, it was kind of thrilling to step outside today, see the foggy mist of a fall morning, and feel just a hint of chill as I walked to the library to study. It’s fall! Now I want to press pause on the seasons and not let winter come for a bit.
I’m pretty sure Lacy and I have the same nightgown.
