I know, and that doesn’t include groceries, gas. And then all the other things that in the big picture aren’t much, but add up, like the new cars, trucks, the guy next door has a brand new Ford Tractor, and all kinds of implements, sodded yard, gravel drive, everything. His kids have every toy you can imagine, trampoline, swimming pool, swing set, battery operated riding toys, and not just one, etc. and of the two kids only one is barely school age...and not the cheap kind..what in heavens name can those kids have to look forward too.....
Drives me crazy:), I just want to go over there and slap them.

They will be expecting the world to hand them everything they want, with no strings attached and with no effort on their part, because that's the way it's always been. People don't do their kids any favors by raising them that way.
Good morning!
Well, we have managed to wake up around here.
We woke up feeling the effects of a rather strong bourbon we decided to pour last night. One bourbon. Yikes. I used to be able to party a lot harder than that.
It’s going to be HOT today. 82 or more. The weather people on the news have gone immediately into stories warning us about all the dangers of hot weather, including sun burn, dehydration and water sport related deaths. Luckily this heat wave will pass by tomorrow and we’ll be back in the survivable 70 degree range. :~)
Oh - I did get a call from Bob finally, about Kat... She was a lot better by the next morning when he left. Probably just stepped on a rock I guess. I’m going to go down Friday afternoon again, and we’ll go on another ride, easy... maybe down the road out of his place if all goes well.
Do you dead-head impatiens?
