champions!

Way to go!

Congratulation!

Love, Grandma and Grandpa

Being at the lake makes her so tired, and she's so stinking cute. Sometimes she falls asleep with her back legs going one direction and the front legs going the other way. No idea how her spine can contort like that.

Jay ordered the part and they looked at You Tube videos to figure out how to access it, and in less than half an hour it was done.

Ta da! The washer fills at a normal speed now, used to take forever to fill. One load could take 90 minutes. Not anymore, done in less than 30.

It's very nice. Love, Val

last weekend in July

The smoke from the wildfires up north gave everything a golden hazy glow.

This handsome guy--always nice to spend a little time with him.

I took this pic as Alicia's brother was telling his kids they HAD TO GET OUT OF THE LAKE. They kind of half ignored him, kids so happy to be there, and be in the water. Kids never want to call it a day.

Saturday morning, hot and bright:

Gorgeous weekend, Love, Grandma

in the basement, and cats

Found them all in the row, light of a video game.

The cats are getting used to the dog and she to them. This cat tower was not easy to assemble, especially by use of the tiny allen wrench they sent, but look at it!

The cats are approving.

They bop her in the face if she gets too sniffy.

I ordered a jar of museum gel, a substance I'd never heard of. Its like rubber cement kind of, fastens down breakables so they can't easily be knocked over by a cat.
