So the kids and I went outside and sprayed water from the hose on ourselves. It felt so good!!! DJ's been studying for the boards that he takes on MONDAY! Hooray for me and nerve wracking for him. So he didn't get to participate, but at least it's about 10 degrees cooler downstairs where he studies.
Yesterday we went to Gina's (a friend of ours) son's graduation party. Let me tell you, Phillipinos know how to party! There was TONS of DELICIOUS food, karaoke, visiting, and laughing going on. We unfortunately had to leave the party early (at 9:30) to get the kids to bed. No pictures unfortunately.
Nice neighbors-So the other day we were out watering ourgarden (11 tomato plants so if you want tomatoes we'll have a bunch. We might have the kids sell them for 25 cents a tomato, depending on how many we get). Our neighbors were barbecuing and we were just visiting with them. We had already eaten and the kids were in bed so we didn't expect their nice offer to give us 2 hamburgers, 4 hot dogs, and 2 grilled chicken breasts! It was so thoughtful of them and even though we said we didn't want to take any of their food, they still gave it to us. It was delicious. It's nice to have good neighbors.
My dad's birthday was yesterday and this is what he learned in his 74 years of life.
"Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes."
thanks dad, how true it is! I also learned that 50 years ago on his birthday, he took his new bride (they married the day before his b-day) and drove to San Manuel, AZ (from SLC Utah) to get a job at the copper smelter. He made good money there. About $2 an hour/ $15 dollars a day which was a better job than the byu bookstore where he made 80 cents an hour! But then again gas was 31 cents a gallon.
