July 10- -

Hello again,  

it’s been a busier week with errands and appointments, athletic practices- most involving grandchildren.  

One night this week was an evening football practice one town south of us 

we were given a bag of old crayons,  so of course we looked on Pinterest 

These projects look pretty cool, don’t they?  

I’m not impressed with how ours turned out.  We glued down peeled crayons onto canvas boards and melted them with a blow dryer.  

we also tried sitting the canvases on easels in the very hot Oklahoma sun with a magnifying glass.  

Neither really melted the crayons in an attractive way.  

So Marine Grandpa got out some real fire 

He certainly melted the crayons but I don’t like his results either.  

But the kids do like their art and they really  liked the fire.  

Can any of you tell what this is?  

a 12 year old so happy to shoot a rubber band with his hand.  

He had so much fun with a rubber band.  And yes,  he knows not to shoot people,  just a target or knocking over a small empty box.  

we’ve been enjoying really good summer fruit- nothing dance- just watermelon, cherries and strawberries all from Walmart.  

Hope you’re all having a good week

❤️

Monday July 7 doings

Hello again everyone 

I made a to do list for this week last night 

I want to do more sewing and I got started on that mid morning.  

I watched/listened to a few CVS mega coupon shoppers.  They really buy lots and do it way more complicated than I do.  

I had a couple of appointments this afternoon so I stopped at just CVS.  

My total before digital coupons and last weeks Extra Care Bucks was about $40

I paid $10.39 and have $12 Extra Care Bucks for next week.  

I don’t wear lots of makeup and I don’t wear makeup everyday but I had used up my only eyeshadow and my mascara seemed empty 

so I am very happy to have new ones,  

I’ve had a few questions about the Kiss press on nails I wear.  

They recently improved their glue and it really holds!  

I don’t buy my nails at CVS but I looked at theirs.  

They had lots. 

The new nails seem to have this improved logo I circled below.  

And if I was buying nails,  I would look for it.  

Supper wasn’t pretty but it was easy and delicious.

I stir fried an onion, 2 bell peppers and a little cabbage.  

then I added about 1 1/2 cups leftover cooked rice,  soy sauce and 1 thinly sliced leftover steak for July 4th,  

My husband has a collection of gnomes in front of our house.  

They were looking very faded from sun and weather.  

I asked him to repaint them and he did.  

For the last year or so,  sitting in a straight back chair was out the question for him.  

So we are both thankful he can do normal activities for now.  

The gnome on the left is before he repainted it.  

Don’t they look happier now in their fresh paint?  

Hope you all have had a good Monday 

❤️ Rhonda
