Good Day "55"

That's what I thought James 

Evening everyone, it's been a long hot tiring day here, but we've had a good explore of the area. Tomorrow promises to be even hotter, so we'll see what that brings. David is out on a boat again all day so I'll be left to my own devices.

Thanks Ruth and James its a continual battle to raise funds we held a Summer Ball last week that raised €2500 so we keep chipping away at the problem.

The best thing of all is the money that is rasised 100% gets to the source. We have minimal expenditure.   

I've donated to so many things for others in life, I've forgotten some of them....last week I bought my sister 5 new outfits, gave her medications, colored her hair, ate out and brother in law landscaping and flowers,and we painted the kid's deck also. Plus I cleaned the boat cover top for my hubby. Kind of got to hold back for an while now....that was about $600 in just an couple of days. They said the other day that Americans now spend 43 per cent then what they earn.

Happy first Birthday to Prince George....and Mr. Obama is north of me in Seattle right now...going down the west coast raising money. It pretty well rained most of all last night...tomarrow they claim the whole state might be under Thunderstorms off and on all day..still fighting the wild fires. They upped the fire crew to 1,600 men...and want to add an 10 hour day for the helicopters spreading fire retardent....150 known houses have burned, one death. Everyday they go back on the lines though....which are miles an miles long an wall of burning vegetation. The storms started for Eastern Oregon last night along with the rain, but they had some over 2,000 more lightening strikes during then also. Kind if quiet right now where I live...my grandson is here tonight...we took him to "My Happiness" Chinese Restruart for dinner. If I get the energy, I'll try making him some fresh blueberry shortcake...blueberries from out backyard.... Have an good evening.
