Fred & Eliza brought us back a five pound Hershey bar. I agree with what others have said about Hershey, it is pretty much junk compared to delicious European chocolate (Droste was a favorite of mine, though Swiss and Belgian are very good too). We will probably break the bar up into small bits and freeze it, then when someone wants a little bite they can have it. They did have a wonderful time going on all the roller coasters at Hershey Park.
Steak dinner last night was so good! I had my favorite creme brulee for dessert. It had a few raspberries, blueberries and blackberries on top. Mmmmmmmm!

Kibby's wrist is much better, but still swollen. Now she does not want to wear her brace.
Mom has gotten 3 phone calls saying they are from some tech company and wanting her to get on her computer. She has hung up on them each time. I just hope other people have as much sense.

Maw, we got some of those too. They were men both times with very strong Indian accents, I could hardly understand them. I also hung up on them.
About a week ago we got a call from some "cancer foundation". I asked the person on the phone if they were a paid solicitor company and how much money actually went to charity that they collected. I was told 15% goes to charity! I started to laugh and told them I would not want to donate to them. I don't think they liked it but, really!? This whole charity business from what I have read is something of a mess. I think there have been news articles about this on tv recently.

Here's the latest necklace to be completed. It's a Full Persian weave, split so the necklace sides are symmetrical. The pendant is rutilated quartz that I wire wrapped. This is the one that seemed to take forever. The quartz is amethyst purple in color.

Great work Allen!
Maw, Cilla, yeah, we got that here too (the computer guys, not the charity "shams"). They usually say they are from Microsoft... Cilla, that business around charity is disgusting but the charities themselves are sometime not a hair better. Here they investigated the Red Corss. Turned out only 10% of each euro actually made it to the goal... Their overhead is so bad... and they have a CEO that's paid at least as much as a huge business leader. I know there are enough worthwile and good charities bit this made me cross with the red cross (pun intended) off my list and that does not benefit anyone, I realise. Still I can only support so much charities and have to make a choice anyway.

Thanks for the compliments.
The Red Cross here asks people to donate blood, which they then sell, most of the time. I've heard of read that after the Red Cross responded to an emergency or disaster, they sent a bill for their time and materials.

There is a charity located very close to us that is the nations most effecent, meaning the money donated is spent on the charity not on raising money, Gleaning For The World. They sent supplies to 3rd world countries and disaster areas. We will sometimes donate to them. Beside them we donate to the local rescue squad & fire dept.

Maw, local charities are vastly different. It is the big international ones, like red cross, greenpeace and such that are so big the orgasantion and the big offices and the salaries of the management slurp up money.

Today is the seventh annual charity motorcycle run/barbecue to raise money for the college fund of Mike's cousin whose dad died 8 years ago. Lots of good food cooked by another of Mike's cousins, who is a chef. There'll be raffle prizes, music by the band Mike is in, and about 100 to 150 bikes roaring off on an approximately 10 mile ride. Good cause and a pleasant day!

Sounds like a fun day, Priscilla, I hope you raise a lot of money.
Gleaning For The World is a large charity, they send stuff all over the world. They have a very good rep for using money for what it is meant to be used for.

Absolutely! I also have to add that there were more people wearing helmets this year, including our Jenn & Mike. Apparently it is finally becoming law in this state and I say ABOUT TIME! I did a video at the start but I'm afraid I accidentally turned the camera off before they started riding. Lots of noise but no movement.
![]() ![]() ![]() The second picture is of Mike's bike with their new helmets. I didn't manage to get a picture of them riding away.

Wonderful bikes, Cilla, and I fully agree on the helmets. Like everywhere in Europe they should be compulsory in your country, too.
Which suddenly made me think: all your cars have seatbelst, are they compulsory to wear (like they are here)?

I asked about that yesterday, Hans. I was told it is compulsory that people wear helmets in about 47 states and Connecticut is about to have it made law as well. I am not sure about seat belts, if that is a federal law or not. I know you must wear one in Connecticut.

Kibby has a boyfriend. It is offical, they up dated their Facebook pages. It is the same person who took her to the prom. Kibby is a Happy Kibby. Kibby told Hubby that her boyfriend was scard of him. Hubby is a happy Hubby. He thinks fear is a good thing where Kibby is concerened.

I think it's lovely that Kibby has a boyfriend. I'm not sure I agree with the fear thing, though. But, every family is different.

Mawra, I laughed so hard I nearly cried! I understand completely where "hubby" is coming from! I'm sure that as he proves he will treat Kibby well, boyfriend will lose his fear of "hubby" and they will get along well.

Well, as I said, every family is different. Jenn did not start dating Mike until they were 20 and she did not date at all in high school (a wise decision if you ask me!). We loved him from day one so even if we DID own a gun (which we don't) he was safe from the evil daddy stuff. I'm also pretty sure that Eliza's parents like Fred.
It was 76 degrees at 6:30 this morning. It's going to be an indoor day as much as possible. I feel bad for anyone with an outdoor job and those that cannot afford air conditioning. ![]() This afternoon I fried an egg in a lidded frying pan out on the driveway. It cooked about 80% of the way. No, I didn't eat it. I just wanted to see if it was possible.

Hubby has not done anything, but he is very large and does not really need to do anything. We have known the family since before the kids were born. Jayson was adopted when he was about 8 years old. They have known each other for 9 years. Kibby has liked Jayson (as boyfriend type like) since she was 12. He has not been intrested in anything other than being friends until now.

It has been in the 90s all week here with a high humidity rate. There is suppose to be a cold front moving in, I'll believe it when I see it.

I am not sure what is better the heat or the rain. It seems to be one or the other lately.
Since my goat just took a head dive into his house I have a feeling we are going to be getting a thunderstorm.

Fine here but like Kugai, all shook up. Few things flew off shelves, in fact, the worst one was a box full of DVD's that fell around us and a bottle of something nasty and smelly that fell and broke in the garage.
Was a bit worried about being disturbed overnight, but am used to hubby moving around bed so it would have to be pretty severe to rouse me during the night

Glad all are ok.
I was right, with in a few seconds of Aries taking a head dive into his house I heard thunder. It was not a bad storm. No power or trees lost. Sat. night we lost power for several hours. I think the cold front that the weather people said was going to cool things down is really going to cool things down.
