Has anyone read "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket? I picked up books 1-8 (is that all of them?) at a yard sale and my kids are dying to get their hands on them. I don't have time to sit down and read them right now. They look fine to me, I am tempted to just hand them over. My boys are 9 and 7 and read just about anything.

I have read the whole series. There are 13 books in total. They are a bit dark but tongue in cheek and witty. There are a lot of references to classic books and characters that will likely go over younger kids' heads. I am not the best judge of books for kids but a mature 9 year old might enjoy them, the 7 year old might be a bit young (or not). They are great books for reading aloud. I first listened to the audio books and I am now reading the actual books.

Evil - the 12 year old in me chuckled at this... Sorry : )

That was mean (but funny as hell)....

wow, that sucks ES. Is it wrong to want a photo?

I've always wanted to have a rooftop garden and make pictures out of colorful flowers to be seen from overhead.

 Now that would be a rooftop garden to behold!  Even better if the viewer was floating by in a hot air balloon!

Trader Joes is trying to take over the country because its coming to Texas too

I've never been to a Trader Joes. Next time I'm in St. Louis, I want to find one.

Trader Joes is a fantastic store : ) Love the good deals on wine.

You poor thing!

I'll trade you, EmmDee. It still cold enough here on some days to need a warm coat. I want to put my winter coat away for the year. After all - it is JUNE!

Ok, any idea how to package clouds? Should I use a box or an envelope to mail them to you?

hmmm, I think they may require a crate.

It has not rained here for several weeks and we have large cracks everywhere. I'd like a crate of clouds too, please.

I see the shipment of clouds on the radar but something seems to be holding them back northwest of us.

yeah, I was thinking the same thing. How is your Friday?

Oh, I would totally take you up on that invite. I have about two hours left and then I work tomorrow so I don't have anything planned for tonight.

hehe, very long drive but if I am ever anywhere close, we will do that!

Central Texas - Austin.

Four thirty is taking way too long to arrive. I'm ready to get out of here.

Happy Saturday!! Beautiful sunny day. Supposed to be in upper 70's mid 80's. Some gardening. Reading. And grocery shoppingj. My day. Grilling hamburgers for supper with green salad. Hope everyone enjoys the day!

We were just out in the yard and DH called to me, "I have a swarm!" and ran off to put on his bee suit and catch it.
The swarm

 

 

Putting the bees in the new hive.

 

 

 

 

 

Hoping they like it.

DH & I went for a walk yesterday to our oldest grandson's baseball game. It was hot, but the walk was fine because we had a nice breeze.
It took us about a half hour to walk up there.

We got to the game, I said hello to grandson and bought a water at the concession stand. A little while later I was hungry (didn't have lunch and it was about 2:45 at this point), so I ordered pierogies.
About an hour after we got there we were sitting on the bleachers and decided we wanted slushies.

Well - I cut out sugary drinks two months ago (I used to live on green iced tea mix, but now I drink water, brewed iced tea with splenda and sometimes Pepsi Next). A few mintues after drinking the slushy I stood up and felt strange. So I sat back on the edge of the bleachers with my feet on the ground and I grabbed DH and pulled him to me & put my head on his chest.

Good thing I did that! Next thing I knew he was yelling "Babe! Babe! Are you okay?" He said I was out for about 30 seconds, but it felt like 20 minutes to me.

I came out of it but felt like I might be sick. I was able to walk to my stepDD's car & I quickly came out of it once the AC hit me. DH kept asking me if I could see and made me read the street signs to him.

He was originally going to take me to the hospital but because I came out of it quickly he took me home. He looked up heat exhaustion on the internet and I had all the symptoms except for muscle cramps, so he did what they said to do - gave me water, a cold pack and I stayed in the room with the AC. It said to seek medical help if the cramping & sweating don't go away after drinking water or a sports drink and being in a cool room. I was fine the rest of the night as long as I stayed in that room and stayed sitting or lying down. If I stood up too long I felt woozie again and I had a dull headache.

DH did not leave my side all night. Around 7:30 I wanted to take a bath and he insisted on staying in the bathroom with me. I don't think he slept good, though, because I didn't hear him snore all night and he's a LOUD snorer.

Today I feel normal.
