Hi All,
Agate, thanks for info on pedometer. If you are going to be strapped in by that harness Howie showed us, I believe the heat truly has addled your brain.
You and Howie are so adventuresome!
Sally and Peg are usually our resident risk takers. I am not sure why they are not just having a fit to get into that thing.
Howie, just kidding about your harness. We all love Pinky! We would recognize her anywhere.
Peg, have you made any of Howie's coleslaw yet? I know you have your own recipe, but just for the rest of us why don't you make some like his. We might could trust you a little more with that recipe. Howie, it might be in the type of Mayo you use. Do you get a certain brand?
Agate's heat reminded me of ours here on Saturday.
I attended my Niece's outdoor wedding Saturday. It was a 5 o'clock wedding. My middle brother and wife picked me up. On the way there the gauge in his car said 98 degrees at one time. It dropped down to about 96 degrees. It continued to vary between 94 and 96. What made it so bad was the humidity was just so high. They put me in a little house set back from the lake and where the ceremony was. It was air conditioned. I could see from a distance and if I opened the door and went out for just a minute or two I could hear a lot of it because the minister, and both of them had microphones on.
I know I might be a little prejudiced, but honestly she was totally beautiful. Her dress was just slightly off white and the lace over it was white. It was perfect for her skin tone. My younger brother almost cried when he was walking her down the aisle. He said he was fine until he spotted Louise, who we all call "Mama Lou". She kept all three of his kids when they were small and he said everything about Erica started coming back.
It was sad for me because after the ceremony they did the family pictures and I went to where the reception was going to be held. She sent one of her brothers for me, so I could be in the pictures and I had to say I could not go. I am not in one single family picture (or any picture). The one moment that made it worth while for me was when they were trying to fix her bustle (after the train had been removed) I walked in where she was. This was my first close up view of her. When she saw me she started tearing up and of course I did too. She said "I was alright until I saw you", and I said "I was too." She quickly got it back under control and I did too.
Every niece and nephew that I have was there, but I just felt so out of it and to tell you the truth just kind of lonely. I think it all hit me more after I got home. Her grandmother and grandfather were there. Her grandmother and I are only 3 months apart in age. Someone posted a video of them out on the dance floor shagging to "Carolina Girl". They were still really good. The video is all over facebook.
Anyway, by me going it meant all of her first cousins, uncles and her one aunt was there, so I hope it was a good thing. It was one of those times that we have talked about when we have said we felt like people did not understand why we were not participating more. I know it is probably just me, but I felt judged by some who were there.
Jendie, I would hate to feed your dog. That is a big dog. My whole family are dog lovers. My younger brother has two, and the other two brothers have one each. My Niece who just got married has two labs that she has had since she was in college. Her new husband loves them just as much as she does. All of my other Nieces and Nephews have dogs. Some also have cats. So, Howie see we are not really too bad since some have cats in addition to dogs.

I did it ONCE! Long story, but short marriage, but not my doings.
