Water Day

We had a morning at the water park yesterday.

I'm extremely happy that someone figured out that kids want to play at the park regardless if it's 115 degrees - adding water to play in makes it bearable.
My friend Arlene met me at the park with her grandson. The park has done an excellent job of placing tables in front of the play area with nice shade trees surrounding. We were able to sit and talk and have a close eye on the kids as they ran from the water area to the slide on the playground.

It was a nice little break for us...the ups and downs of my father in law tend to rest heavy on my heart - it's nice to switch my thoughts for a little while.

Update: Yesterday he was non - responsive most of the day so the care facility decided it wasn't a good idea to bring him home because he now requires 24 hour care. He was agitated most of the day when he was checked in the facility so they gave him a sedative. After that he became non - responsive, ended up going a day without food, liquids and no meds. Finally around 5 pm he was awake but wouldn't eat and was only making grunting sounds.                                                                                  

Praying he'll be able to go home today.

I shared with you how I had my son leave my home because he's not in a good place right now.  Yesterday he was sitting outside my home when I pulled up.  I asked him why he was here - Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful he's okay but I can't be an enabler.                                                                               He had a couple of reasons why he popped in, but I know the real one is that he thought no one would be home and he was hoping he could get in to eat, crash, and find something to sell at a pawn shop. As horrible as that sounds it's the reality of how a drug addict operates.                                                     ...

I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...

When I saw this I thought what a perfect gift for my husband. You see he bought me a television for the bedroom years ago and hung it on the wall before most people were hanging them on the wall. Of course with the TV came a remote - so it's my remote, right?  Really the only time he touches it is when I lose it - (which I do daily) he seems to be the one that always finds it so I think wrapping the remote and letting him use it for a day with some candy attached is perfect! I hope I can actually give it up for a day - he's not a fan of Bravo or HGTV.   http://willowbirdbaking.com/2012/04/25/gooey-chocolate-skillet-cake-ice-cream-sundae/  Also, I came across this cake which is pretty much the same recipe as my Texas Sheet Cake. I just never thought of baking it in my cast iron skillet and digging the center out to fill with ice cream... yum! We're all a fan of chocolate so this might make the Father's Day dessert list. Yesterday I put a cheesecake recipe up th...
