Sweet picture was deleted. Â Here it is now:


This could be called “Roofing, Day Two” but I like my title better. Â The roofers were still hammering away on top of us. Â We had grand-kiddo day care, but couldn’t leave the house. Â The kids couldn’t play outside because of the falling tiles/nails/etc. Â Plus, we didn’t want to leave because my husband is vital when any technical questions arise.
So….what to do…what to do??
N and I decided (after parents approval was received) that we could try my henna kit and do some hand painting. Â It took a very long time….but was fun.
J and hubs were in the other room doing all kinds of buildings with jenga blocks. Â They set up dominoes type designs that would fall over.

Sure, we could have had the TV on or handed them electronics, but they only get a couple times a day to do that.
When the workers left at 3:30, we jumped in the car and they got 30 minutes of running around an arcade. Â It was still 103 deg. and the yard was not yet cleaned up. Â But they needed to run and jump and play a few games of air hockey.
Now if you are reading this and live in an area where you can not leave the house for days on end…my hat is off to you. Â As it was, we did quite well.
I know this is not Friday, but Zen Flash’s blog post gave me a chuckle, so I’m passing it on. Â Enjoy.

My brother flew into PDX today (required picture of PDX carpet). Â He had it all worked out. Â Since Kansas is soooo very hot and humid in the summer, he planned to escape the weather and spend some time with his Pacific NW family.
Mother nature had other plans. Â Kansas is having temperatures in the high 70’s while the valley is experiences a heat wave….mid 90’s.
As he left the airport he laughed out loud. Â “This feels familiar,” he stated as we were hit by the humid heat.
Worse, the traffic coming home was at a crawl. Â We finally pulled off in Wilsonville and ate dinner at a lovely Chinese restaurant. Â Weather would not dampen our spirits.

Tomorrow he heads to the coast where the weather is to be mid-60’s ! Â Yes, finally he will experience the cool weather of Oregon.
Be kind to my brother, Oregon Coast. Â No more surprises.
