After talking to Wendy and Chris Monday morning we had a quick breakfast and then met John Joyce at the children's park to work on installing a new wrought iron fence. The girls got to play for almost two hours, running and climbing until they were worn out. They also got to watch John mix concrete for the post holes and they saw granddad doing some welding. Next we walked over to see Betsy and get a cold treat. Man, it was hot! By the time we walked home we were dripping sweat. Somehow 95F and 99% humidity do that to you.

Lunch led to an early quiet time and the girls were fast asleep in no time. I had to wake them at 4:30.

That was a good time to do some sidewalk art,

fix dinner, and dine in the dining room like adults.

While I cooked the girls went into the parlor to read.


Note the glasses....no wonder I can't find my reading glasses!


We IChatted with Wendy and Chris who were getting ready for an adult dinner in a restaurant. It must have been their date night.


The girls were so tired they were ready for sleep with only a short bit of story reading.
