Well, actually, around here, we call it summer once the temp outside reaches 90 but the calender says the 1st day of summer was Friday June 20. And still no rain. Last night we got our hopes up because it was overcast with rain in the forecast but still no go. We haven't had much rain in the past months and we are so dry that they might not even have fireworks this fourth of july which is fine by me. I never quite got it. I mean, sure, when it's a city sponsored event and they have a fireworks show, but when you do it at home, i don't get it. it's loud, stinky and not to mention expensive. with everything going up in price now, why bother....
Last weekend was Father's Day but unfortunately we couldn't travel to visit day. We all pitched in and got him a present, though. We got him his very own lazy boy. he loved it, he kept calling to thank me. and since the father's day card i got him had a picture of a dad on a lazy boy he kept calling to say how odd it was that i sent him a card with that picture and how he got that same thing for father's day. anyways, susan and darren were in town last weekend and she had a card for me to sign that she was gonna give him, that way we all signed the same card. she also snapped a couple of pictures of dad with his gift, she gave it to him early, couldn't wait. :)
His 69th bday is coming up in august and we were thinking of doing something big for his 70th next year. Maybe i'll take care of the details myself because last time we had something big to celebrate i left it up to mary and susy and they never did anything. Maybe book a hotel conference room so we can all get together and maybe post a notice in the newspaper or something, that'd be cool.
The 17th was susan and mary's bdays, their 42nd. Never did get them a card or anything, i just gave them a call on that day. they were headed to the beach, a family day at the beach, i guess.
i think we finally fixed the pt cruiser. you know how it had been stalling and the dashboard lights all going on and the damn dinging, well, it turned out to be the sensors. Got two new ones and replaced them and i think that fixed the problem. doing some research found that there's a lot of stuff wrong with these damn cars, that being one thing. the other is the windows that sometimes get stuck. thought about trading it in but still owe too much on it, it'd be an upside down trade and i'll end up paying more. so for now we'll just have to deal with it.
Thursday was the first concert under the stars concert. This month it was blues guitarist Seth Walker. Never heard of him but i'm always looking for cool music to listen to. It was a nice afternoon, it wasn't too hot and there was a cool breeze going on. Sometimes the breeze was too much and blew dust our way but that was fine. Turns out the music was pretty cool. I ended up buying his new cd and he was there to sign it and everything. It's pretty good music. All in all the night went as planned. Of course, the $4 bag of popcorn and $2 water bottle were over the top but i guess it went to a good cause. Not bad for a $5 cover charge. They're also having the Dog Days of Summer when you can take your dog to the gardens, that'll be nice too. Need to make a note of it.
Friday night we went out for pizza at the Pizza Hut here on Callaghan Rd and man, i do not know why we keep going back. Every time we go they get our orders wrong and they end up giving us more food to make up for it. This time they gave us a large instead of a medium like we ordered, then they brought the correct order, so we had two pizzas for the both of us. Yeah, overkill. Not to mention that the stupid lady (i call her mullet girl) took our order 4 times and still got it wrong. Damn it, if you just would have written it down, maybe you'd remember. i took 30 minutes to get our order. Yet we still keep going back. Baffles the mind.
