First our weather.
It is 1 p.m., and it is a sunny, breezy, 68 degrees. Just a couple degrees too cool for me. As I have aged, my comfort zone has really narrowed. 80 is too warm now—-and it used to be perfect. I know all of you suffering with your 90′s and 100+ temps wonder what I am complaining about! lol

We were invited over to Greg’s house Sunday evening for Linden’s 6th birthday. He was so much fun to watch. He was so thankful for anything he received, even if it was just something silly. He is such a thoughtful, kind little guy! Kind of unusual for the youngest in the family.
He loves the movie “Cars”.
How old are you????? Showing off his “loot”—a clip-on lamp for his bed, a bicycle horn and lock; shirt and pants with “Cars” characters on, and a couple silly little playthings. Also cash!
Then we played with their Wii. I should have taken some pictures of that, but just didn’t think of it. It was very humid that day, and I got a little light-headed just playing a little tennis on the Wii. Then I just sat and watched them play different things. I am going to try to get one. I can see that it would be “fun” exercise for me—–anything to get me moving!!!!!

They heard from Lydia, who is now back down to Concordia and getting ready for the Rams to arrive on Thursday. She found out that she WILL be getting paid, and will be making about the same as she would if she had just stayed up here and worked her 3 jobs for that length of time. She will live in the same dorm as the players, but on a different floor. She is with the administrative staff. She will eat with the players, though. Now, she is going to eat VERY well. I have seen the Green Bay news stations report on the Packers training camp, which is held at a college up in Green Bay. They really feed the players well—-not your typical college fare!!
Lydia had taken quite a bit of her dorm room things along with her, figuring she would need all her usual things for school. Not so. Everything is furnished—even down to the towels.
During the school year, there is a security guard at the school entrance, but it is very lax. Just about anyone got waved through without stopping. Not so now. Lydia is stopped every time now, and her credentials checked. I am sure that is so that football “spies” and general population cannot get in.
Will keep you all posted as to how she is doing as I hear about it.
This is a picture of Lyd taken over a year ago.

What a cute kiddo! Sydney was 6 in Feb. Cute age.
So glad the pay, food, lodging, and security is good at the camp. She will get such good stuff to put on her resume! How impressive!
Jarrod, at his new business is sellling wii’s He might be able to help you out. If you are interested I’ll get him in touch with you. I am going to get us one at least by Christmas. Think it will be so good for us this winter. I want to see one and use it before I buy so can do that when I go see him in Oct.
We had some showers this morning so we may be a few degrees cooler today but oh, the humidity!
Happy 6th birthday to Linden. You would not think of just playing with two ” sticks ” ( the Wii would get you so tired it did me and I go to the gym
I am looking forward to hearing all what goes on at the camp
Hello, Happy birthday to Linden. Nice photos. Judi
Linden is sooo adorable. I do like those simple silly pressies. That is usually what we give too.
We do not have video games so I am not sure about that tennis game. I guess I should try it
I wish it was 68 here. It is 83, too hot for me.
I am so happy to read your bloggie today :love:
awww…Linden is precious! He’s such a cutie! You have every right to be proud of your grands… they truly ARE grand!!
you are SO right about common courtesy… i think it’s been thrown right out the window… along with common decency!
Wonderful pictures of Lynden and Lyd both!
Linden is a cute young boy .
I am glad for Lydia so she can made what she wanted and get paid .
Love
Michel
ps : You are lucky with the summer Here wa have a weird summer : grey .
Yay for Lydia!!! This will look really good on her resume!
And Happy Birthday Linden! they actually have an exercise attachment for the Wii! Sometimes I think it would be worth getting just for that. Becky has “Dance, Dance, Revolution” for her game system and that is a really good workout too.
Our weather? Perfect for VBS week. But it’s not nearly as important now as it was before we built our addition and added AC to the church. I still think 80 is about perfect but I’m not complaining about anything after the winter we had.
Its 68 degrees there ??????????? It was about 105 here yesterday–At 68 us southerners wear a coat !!
RYC-You gave me a good laugh thinking I was eating beans right out of the can-but after rereading-thats what it looks like I said–LOL–Must be hanging around with the gnomes
Pay no attention to Maggie. It was probably 99 degrees. :laugh:
Oh to be six again!
