General Daily Talk

I am at my inlaws house sitting with my husband's elderly aunt. She is a wonderful sweet lady and I adore her. She recently moved in with my inlaws and can't be by herself for very long so I came to sit with her today so her grandson and my son could swim and go fishing. They went fishing and it started pouring down rain but they perservered by taking an old seat from a van down and a huge picnic umbrella and setting up their own little area safe from the rain. They even caught some big fish LOL.

Its finally hot here. We have been blessed with a very mild summer so far but Saturday the temperature started climbing and it has gotten HOT. I am so thankful that the duplex we live in has central air conditioning. We haven't had air conditioning in almost 3 years and it is so nice. The utility bill was high but not nearly as high as I expected it to be. I try to keep it at 76 but these last few days it has run non-stop. I am almost looking forward to fall.

I got the Christmas music out yesterday and had it playing. It drives the kids nuts but I just love it. I wasn't planning on getting it out this early this year (I made it all the way thru July without playing any of it LOL) but my MIL gave me a candle warmer and some candle tarts to go in it and one was scented "apple clove butter" and I swear it smelled so much like Christmas that I just couldn't resist getting out the Christmas music! Now I am also planning gifts. I was going to start early with gift buying and making but with the move and all I just have not had the time or the money to do it. I need to get on it now though. I have no idea what I am going to make this year. I know my MIL needs a new pair of fleece mittens (she got gasoline on the pair I made her last year). I just don't know.
