The temperature has been in the fifties and sixties just about all week, of course at night it gets down into the thirties and forties and it is usually pretty cool in the mornings when I get up especially if was clear during the night. The cloudless skies usually mean that the heat is not held in by the clouds and so it gets cooler; now if we could only cause it to be cloudy at night and clear during the days that would be almost ideal.
I was feeling better yesterday and so after breakfast I went outside to work on the leaves. Since it had been wet since the last time that I raked I knew that the leaves would be really wet and heavy so I thought that I would try the blower rather than the rake. It worked rather well in the back yard where the leave were not as heavy to begin with but in the front yard with the walnut leaves especially in the street where they had gotten clumped together I had to lift them up and move them with the blower in order to get the leaves to move.
After I finished I went inside and cleaned up and got ready for Becca's party, Kathleen wrapped the presents and then made a card for Becca, but that took a little longer than she expected so we did not leave as early as we would have liked.
Tami had the friends’ party earlier and this party was for the relatives, so it was just the grandchildren and the grandparents and aunts and uncles for this party. Tami's brother, Mike had made the cake, he and Tami had taken a cake making class a while back and they always come up with some interesting looking cakes.
I played with the grandchildren, probably more than I should have and for sure harder than I should have and started getting pretty tired around 1600, and we finally left a little after 1700 and I was really tired by then.
On the way home we stopped for gas and it was about half the price that it was a few months ago. If we could use regular gas it was just a little over two dollars a gallon which seem almost surreal considering what it had been last summer.
Needless to say I slept well last night going to be a little after 2100 and I slept until a little before 0700 this morning. Since I was feeling I went to church this morning. Kathleen was still asleep when I left, which did not surprise me as she did not get to bed until after 0300 this morning.
For some reason when I got home I was really tired, really frustrating because this happens to me more often than not, I just do something little and then I am so tired that I cannot get anything else done the rest of the day.
Well, that is about it for this weekend, we still have not gotten any paint for the downstairs bathroom so we will have to do that tomorrow...I hope!

Sounds like you had a nice weekend. It was in the mid to high 60's here last week also. Saturday in the city it was in the high 60's. We are having a cold spell right now, I hope this is just a
3-day thing, and not the beginning of winter!
Well, I have to try and get Mom up, then drop off an Rx that Bill needs before he goes to the hospital, so I will say so long. Thanks for writing. It means so much.
