I WAS SITTING AT MY DESK GETTING ALL MY BILLS TOGETHER, AND WHEN I WROTE THE DATE DOWN ON MY FIRST CHECK I THOUGHT WOW, IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS SCHOOL WILL REOPEN. ALL MY CHILDREN ARE ALL GROWN, AND ON THEIR OWN. I THOUGHT ABOUT MY GRANDCHILDREN GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL, MY OLDEST IS JENNA, SHE STARTS HIGH SCHOOL, HER TWIN SISTERS MADELINE, AND MAKAYLA WILL BE GOING INTO 3RD GRADE, AND MY OTHER GRANDDAUGHTER PAIGE WILL BE GOING INTO 8TH GRADE. THEY GROW UP SO FAST. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO.
I LIVE WITH MY DAUGHTER JACKIE, HER HUSBAND PAT PUT IN A LOVELY VEGETABLE GARDEN, OUR TOMATOES ARE TERRIBLE, I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A JERSEY TOMATO, AND THE TOMATOES THIS YEAR WERE NOT THAT GREAT, EVEN THE FARM MARKETS DIDN'T HAVE THAT JERSEY TASTE. WHEN I WAS A KID, MANY MANY YEARS AGO, MY DAD HAD BEAUTIFUL GARDENS, AND GREW JUST ABOUT EVERY VEGETABLE YOU COULD THINK OF. HIS TOMATOES WERE HUGE, RED, AND DELICIOUS. I GUESS THOSE DAYS ARE GONE.
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER RAIN STORM TONIGHT, MY SISTER FROM COLORADO IS DOWN AT THE JERSEY SHORE, THE WEATHER HAS BEEN VERY HOT AND HUMID, AND A LOT OF RAIN, AND AUGUST IS ALWAYS HOT AND HUMID, BUT USUALLY YOU GET SOME RELIEF DOWN THE SHORE, BUT SHE SAID IT WAS REALLY BAD, THEY HAD NO AC, AND FORGET ABOUT A FAN, IT BROUGHT IN HOT AIR. WHEN WE WERE THERE IN JULY, THE WEATHER WAS HOT BUT WE HAD A BREEZE AND IT WASN'T THAT HUMID. MY SISTER HAD A GOOD TIME, THEY WERE HERE FOR A VISIT YESTERDAY, IT WAS GOOD TO SEE HER AND HER FAMILY. HER TWO WEEKS ARE ENDING, SHE WILL BE ON HER WAY HOME ON SUNDAY, SHE IS LIKE ME WE LOVE THE OCEAN, AND ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL SHELLS ROLLING WITH THE WAVES.
