I’m making another after-nap appearance. Had a busy morning. I hope you’re no longer in any pain, dear twin! ♥️

The outside air became much easier to breathe last night, as a nice breeze came in from the ocean. It also kept our temps down to only 75. We went to our city’s Art and Air Festival. It’s a hot-air balloon festival. We went about 7 to see the night glow, where the balloons are filled up with hot air, but don’t take off. Then, when the announcer mentions the balloon name and the people/team that owns it, that balloon blasts it’s burners and it lights up the hot air-balloon against the dark night sky. I’ve never gone to the night glow before, and it was pretty impressive! 😍 We also listened to an Aerosmith cover band who played the festival last night. They were good! In years past, we have gone in the early morning (about 6am) to see the balloons fill up and take off, but we didn’t go this year. If the air was still smoky, I would not have been able to go.

Happy National Parks Day! I have a couple of national parks on my bucket list. One is the Grand Canyon. I’ve never even seen a piece of it. The other is Glacier National Park in Montana. I’ve drven through it coming home from Alberta, Canada in the early 1990s, and it was sooo beautiful, I’ve always wanted to go back and stay a couple of days. If I get to see those 2 parks, then I’ll add Yellowstone to the list. I have seen Yosemite, and even drove through it in the summer of 1990 when I drove myself from my parent’s house in the Portland area to Salt Lake City to spend a week doing genealogy. When I left there, I traveled through Nevada and Yosemite on my way to my grandma’s house in California. I spent the rest of my summer between her house (on the northern edge of central CA) and my other grandma and cousins in southern CA. That was before I was married, but I was already teaching and traveled during the summers.

I think you should try a whiskey sour, if you ever get the chance. I’ve had one, and they’re yummy! 😋🥃🍒

I’m glad there’s a Kiss and Make Up Day, but I wouldn’t/couldn’t wait for it to making amends. I can’t stand it when there’s an issue between somebody else and me, so I like getting it all aired out ASAP. Thankfully, there aren’t any big issues in my immediate family. 😊

I think you were a very 🤓🍪, getting your hubby’s oil field jeans at the second-hand stores. If his clothes were wrecked after a day at work, that could be pretty expensive replacing them, especially with the way jeans have always been expensive. I’m good about taking things to our St. Vincent’s, but I don’t shop much in their store, or other second-hand stores. I don’t know why because when I do shop in those stores, I always find some good bargains and nice clothes!

I’m not a big banana sundae fan either because of the banana part, but I’ll take the ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, nuts, and cherries! 😍🍨🍫🍒

Sending ice cream hugs with the fixings, minus the dog hair! 🤗🐶💖🍨🍓🍫😘🌻
