@DKT1978 - :lol: :yes:

You are a night owl like me. :goodjob: :heartbeat:

@Jess_uh_kuh - :giggle: Sometimes they crack me up, and sometimes they aggravate me. Yesterday Domino was sleeping on top of the printer, and he fell off. That would have been funny, if he hadn't fallen on the desk, scared the kittens that were sitting there, and knocked the mouse off on the floor. Not to mention scared me half to death. We have another cat, Checkers, that frequently falls off of stuff in her sleep. We have a beam that runs across the living room, and she likes to sleep up there, about 8 feet off the floor. But she looses her balance and falls. She's getting old.

How cute is Motor...adorable.  We had a good 4th.  We went to my in-laws for a short time until it started to pour.  We then went down to some friends who were having a bbq for her co-workers.  They invited us as well...so much food.  We swam and just hung around.  It was clear most of the day, but by early evening it poured!  The only fireworks we saw were on our way home from their house.  All in all it was a fun day.  Blessings for a great weekend. Oh, I'm excited for your son and Rachel.

@chatcat42 - Cathy, I am so sorry. I read your email. I sure wish I could do something more to help you. We love you, and we are praying.

@wolskimom - Hi, TJ...that's what has been bothering Bethany so much, too....she has a lot of pain in her calf muscle since she is trying to use it again now after the injury and surgery. Her legs are noticeably 2 different sizes now, since she has been in a fracture boot or cast for the last 8 months. I'm sure you've been favoring one leg over the other to lessen the pain. It takes a while to build that leg back up.

@Singing4sDad - :ROTFL: :nono: :hammer:

@buana - Thanks, Jill. I hope we know soon if they get the house or not. They are competing with someone else. The bank will accept the higher bid.

That sounds like a nice July 4th. We didn't do anything. And it poured here yesterday. Our grass is starting to look like a jungle, but it has literally rained every day, and the yard is wet. Pretty soon I won't be able to find the cats when they walk out in the grass :lol:

Beth went to Brandon and Rachael's yesterday for movie night. That was the extent of her excitement. We don't usually go see the fireworks anymore. Our city fire department puts them on at the baseball fields, but it's such a hassle to get in and out of there. Sooooo many people always go. We went when the kids were little. I have such good memories of going to see fireworks when I was little, and I wanted them to have those memories, too.  We are also not very far from where the city of Pasadena puts theirs on, too, so last night I could hear lots of booming going on around here.

@buana - Kinda bummed. They did not get the house. It was a bank owned foreclosure, and the bank accepted the bid that made it in before Brandon's. Brandon and Rachael bid higher than the asking price, but we don't know what the other couple bid. Something could happen....their financing could fall through or something. I'm just praying for them to get the house God wants them to have.

@SingingMom - I'm sorry to hear about the house, but as you said God has the right plan and house for them.  Blessings.
