WELL, MY SON-IN-LAW IS OUT OF TOWN, SO MY DAUGHTER IS COMING DOWN FOR 2 DAYS WITH THE GRANDKIDS. THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE PERFECT, SO THEY WANT TO GO BLUEBERRY PICKING. I RELENTED TO GO IF WE WENT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL FARM, AND NOT TO THE ONE WHERE I HAD MY PANIC ATTACK. OK.

THE 6 1/2 YEAR OLD HAS DECIDED TO STAY WITH US UNTIL SAT. OR SUN., SO THIS WILL BE A TREAT FOR MY WIFE AND I. WE HAVE A FUN ITINERARY PLANNED FOR HIM: WASH THE CAR, WASH THE WINDOWS, TRIM THE BUSHES, VACUUM, DUST, DO LAUNDRY, AND PAINT THE INSIDE OF THE GARAGE. TIME PERMITTING, WE'LL PICNIC, GO TO THE LAKE, AND HIT A COUNTY FAIR.

ITS BEEN SO HOT HERE UNTIL TONIGHT THAT MOST OF THE DAYS HAVE BEEN SPENT INSIDE THE HOUSE. CABIN FEVER IN THE SUMMER, UGH!
