A Day at Kennywood.  My one time a year that I get to ride all the fun coasters! Considering that my Dad was still riding them at  80 years young,  I think I might have  20 years left to ride.  I sure hope this boy will still ride with me for all those years!

  Saturday night and the boys and I headed  to  Pittsburgh Mills.   I wanted them to try zip-lining.  They were hesitant.      So we settled on bungee jumping. However,  on the way,  since we were running a little late,  we drove through McDonald's. Tyler, bordering quickly on 12, has apparently passed by the whole happy meal thing and  orders  two double cheeseburgers and a Diet Coke.  (Gramma refused to kill his brain cells with a Diet Coke) and  Logan is struggling.  "A 20 piece Chicken Nugget, No wait... there is a Mario Toy I want a Chicken Nugget Happy Meal  and  a  10 piece Nuggets"  So I order.  The girl wants to know what he wants to drink with that Happy Meal.  I ask him and he replies, "I think I'll have a French Vanilla Latte!" I calmly reply that Lattes are not on the Happy Meal menu. We fina...

  Leaving for vacation there is always so much to do. Sometimes I wonder why we even go, but a huge recharge is greatly needed this time of year. So, I make lists, and try my best to get them finished. Some got done, some didn't, but today we leave. As a side note, the ground is covered with snow here this morning and that makes it very easy to leave! Florida Bound. But first, the highlights of the last couple of days! Prescriptions filled, check. sounds as though we are on top of this until... the bottle flip challenge. Really anything will do and every morning, Logan finds something in my kitchen to bottle flip. I thought my blood pressure pills looked harmless, I mean way better than some of the glass bottles I have grabbed from him mid flip. Until it hit the ceiling knocked down the artfully arranged corks I have on that ceiling and broke all of the chalky pills inside. Suppose anyone will understand when I say ...

The boys love this place!  It has been two years since they were there. This time the weather was good enough that they could go to the submarine. I think that might have been a favorite! Along with Sports Works. And Papaw and Logan had to experience the hurricane.   And a surprise when Gracelyn and Garren were also there! And... with much trepidation I post this not so flattering angle! Just to show I BEAT THOSE BOYS UP THE ROCK WALL!    

...how soon this is all going to end? Shirt sleeves and bicycle helmets will soon be replaced with scarves and mittens, hats and boots and winter coats. Let's not tell them!   Let's enjoy these last few nice days and remember them when we are freezing and complaining!  

It has been quite the on-going project.  Logan is mining under the garage.  A wide selection of tools and he is using them all.  A nice collection of  shale  unusual rocks neatly displayed. And the proud miner.  Summertime fun! 

just might drive me right over the edge!  Adorable?  Of course. But their latest shenanigan? Well, had a lot of people laughing,  but not me...yet.  They love to change my answering machine. I forget to check it after they are gone.  Usually they are fun, cute little messages and  I like them.  This time they set me up. Exasperated me to the point of yelling at them. (which who am I kidding, it might happen more often than I like to admit) And taped it!  And used it! As  My  Message!  It was there for three weeks.  Me yelling at those adorable little faces!  And then, put on the machine for everyone to hear!  And... no one told me! Until yesterday.  A customer had called our house,  then called the shop  and asked me if I had checked my message lately.  "Why no", I replied.  "What is it?" She informed me that it was m...

...when the golfers come back! And back they are.  Look at the form! Look at that swing... Cover your head!  Check your homeowner's policy  for glass breakage!
