Still alive and kicking

I took a picture of the rose bush Mike and Teri got me the last time they were home. the flowers seem to be smaller but their are more. Seems to me I read somewhere if you want bigger roses you should snip off some of the buds if there are many. maybe I will try that next time. the moss roses sure did thicken up since I planted them didn't they/
Its very warm and humid today so Im spending most of the time inside where its nice and cool. I was reading some of the Harry Potter book but after about a chapter decided to come in and play on my computer for awhile. :) I will go out again later ~ winter is too long so I am going to enjoy summer while it lasts. too hot for pulling weeds anyway....:>)  not my favorite job and the last time I had a backache for 2 days.....
Mike said he and Teri would be coming home in October.... Teri loves halloween and Shari and Dan will be having a Halloween party I guess. I think I may have to get a bigger aero bed for them... the twin size is too small and last time Mike slept on the sofa. they have higher ones now too and it will be easier to get in and out of... give me something to do and plan for.... I started washing windows and got 2 finished.... maybe I will get more done by the time they get here..... do you think??????
I should have lots more to write about but really haven't been doing too much.... reading a lot thats for sure. I just love sitting on the porch and reading in summer time.
I will try....... really I will to come and write more often. Hope you are all haveing a wonderful summer and a good day,
Sandra

our new church

I added the pictures wrong and after writing a nice size entry I had to delete it because I entered the pictures wrong. Now I have to do it all again.............The pictures are of our new church. I happened to have a camera in my purse when we went there after mass to sign the alter stone. It is going to be so nice to have such a big and beautiful church.  the old one was nice too but it was way too small. They are going to wait until Spring to transfer the stained glass windows. It will be so beautiful then it will be hard to leave at the end of mass.
Saturday Julies husband Mark celebrated his 50th birthday in grand style. everyone had a good time....Lots of people there I didn't know but lots I did. All my family was their except for Mike and Teri and Tom and Cindy because as you know they live in Florida now. Teri's cousin has a very good band(they play for openings of famous singers etc) and they volunteered to play for the night... very good too. I will probably add a few pictures tomorrow or so. I have laundry etc too do today and have to get started.
The weather here has been beautiful and now I guess rain is in the forcast.
Rick is on vacation this week and Carley will be spending it with him. They have big plans so I hope the rain doesn't put a damper in it.
So off I go to eat breakfast and do housework... hope you are having a nice day, Sandra
