July--Still hot--still Dry

While we are sweltering in the West Texas, my aunt in Seattle told me they had only had two days where it got "up" to 70, and it had been raining every day now for months.  If only......

The pool is just across the street and we are making good use of it.  We celebrated the arrival of granddaughter number 2, Alice Elizabeth, born on July 30, 2011.  Her big sis Maisie was thrilled and ready to help.

Finally, there really is some justice in this cruel world.  After Jim struggling to work for the past 4 years in spite of his Parkinson's, he found out today that he has qualified for disability.  This will help us and especially him, tremendously.  Now if we could only get some cool temps and rain--we will survive.
