We are on the brink of August and I am not finished with many summer things. But I just keep on watching TV and playing on the computer instead of doing them. I have noticed companies are using lots of babies and puppies in ads these days. Sure, they are cute; however I now have four grand-dogs,( two in Kansas), and I think they are probably way up there on the cute meter. I have grand-cats too, but they could care less what I think.
This was a fairly cool summer so far. Son Chris's first summer was way cooler. That was the summer we had moved to a cottage on Winona Lake . My dad had a really jazzed up raft, called "Winnie The Poo" on Center Lake. He and my brother,K, had built it from scratch and tricked it out with a tower and ladder, diving board and flying pennant . Anyway, he thought it would be fun to put it on Winona from fourth of July through the rest of the summer , for obvious reasons. It was parked at our lakefront and we probably used it five or six times. I think it was so drizzly and windy on the fourth and most other week-ends that no one thought it was worth the trouble. We did take the kids out on it but they had to be so bundled up they were unhappy. The next summer it was back on Center parked at the very same lot we later bought and where we built this house.

Fourth of July 2017
As you may have, I woke up late and had only Oolong tea until noon. The reason being that I got the midnight munchies last night.
It is a stellar day for weather. Went out to the herb garden at 11:30 while the herb oils were still up in the plants and cut the first time this year. Besides oregano (The Golden Greek) for drying, I cut parsley and basil for cooking fresh.
Mostly watching Book T V, "tv for serious readers".
Reading family history from my aunt Anna's 1941 diary. She is seventeen and spending summer in Detroit with her brother, Doyle's family. She is a big help to them and totally unaware that this country was on the brink of the second world war. That forth of July she was very happy that they were all going to her grandpa Rapps to see her brother Wayne who is home on furlough from the Army.
