" Summer Fun! "

It's been a pretty busy, fulfilling and steamy hot weekend! The temperatures here in Southern Illinois have yet to reach their peak but with all of the humidity we've had, it feels HOT,HOT,HOT!

I went to church Saturday evening thinking that would leave Sunday morning open to get outside early and get some weeding done. When I walked out of church an hour after I walked in, the humidity was so heavy in the air. It was hard to believe it could change that quickly!

I did manage to get up early on Sunday but was only able to work for about an hour outside before the sun, heat and humidity just became too much.

So I decided to do something that I probably shouldn't have done, however after discussing it with Jake we decided that we would go ahead and give our grandson Jack, his birthday present early. We bought him a bike and being that it will be a month before he turns two, we just figured that he'd like to play with it now. He didn't have one.

Here he is when he first spotted it. Notice that he is actually standing still! With his mouth open!

I was even able to figure out how to post a video of him on the bike. Trust me it took way longer to post this than it will take to watch!!!!!!

We stayed out there for a few hours but again it just got to be too hot outside so Kate and I took off to Wal-Mart as she won a $50.00 gift card from a drawing at school. She was very anxious to spend it!

I had a great visit with my friend Sue this weekend. We have been friends since third grade and have kept in touch over the years. The timing was perfect as Katie was spending the night at her friends house and Jake had left for work that day. I grilled us some steaks and we had some wine and LOTS of catching up. Oh what fun! My only complaint is that the time went by too quickly, sigh....

With Jake being home all last week I still may have not gotten caught up on everyone's blogs but not to worry, I will get it done this week sometime. This will also be a busy week for me but next week Katie will be off to camp.

I hope this post comes out alright. I had more pictures to post and another video of my granddaughter Sarah riding her new bike but I had to use the old editor to post the video. I don't know if there is a way to post a video with the new editor which for me is much easier to use. I will revert back after this post and see what I can find out. Posting photos with the new editor is much easier for me. So I really don't know how this will come out until it's posted.

Here goes!
