It's Hot...and Old Dogs and New Tricks?

 Good Morning Guys... It's hot here!  Most days are between 100F (38C) to 109F (43C)!  The lawn looks like a hay field...and we can only water the lawns Wednesdays and Saturdays...not enough to keep the grass alive.  Oh well...I mainly water the plants in the pots.

I made it over to Hobby Lobby for their sale on baking goods.  I bought $104 worth of baking tools for $52!!  Fifty percent off sales on bake wares only happens once or twice a year and I walked into the store at the right time!

I used some of the new frosting tips on my cupcakes...don't laugh, gotta' start somewhere!  Anyway, it gives me something to do...how many times can I wash clothes?!

Waiting for our great granddaughter to arrive, August 9th is the due date...can't wait!  It's also my birthday...Larry's mom died on my birthday back in 2018...Hopefully, Sloane will arrive on that date, wiping out all the bad juju...

The shower went off without a hitch...loads of her friends showed up for the fun.  I stopped counting after fifty...I swear!  I knew maybe three people!!  When did that happen?  Oh well...The life of a Crone moves forward.

Played around with my Cricut Maker3...novice here!  Made a cake topper but decided it didn't work so I went with a bought one.  Larry made Sloane's name (out of wood) to decorate the food table.  I think he did a great job.

Well, that's about it for me...Hope you all are having a sweet and peaceful weekend.

Hubby Larry hard at it...lol


Samantha and stepdad, Tim... real Dad, as far as we're concerned!  He's an amazing Dad.


Soon to be grandmother, daughter Crystal with her daughter, Sam.


Those kolaches were wonderful...sausage and cheese.

Sam with a few of her friends...


The cake I made...really disappointed.  It was another hot and sultry day...the venue was warm...and things started to melt.  I didn't like the Swiss Meringue frosting I used, anyway.  We got to the shower early to help set up and nothing got going until several hours later!  
I didn't care by then...Sam had a good time and that's all that mattered.
Stay well and safe...
