Happy Birthday Don

We went to Famous Dave's for dinner to celebrate. I didn't realize but Alika doesn't have air conditioning where she lives either. Yikes. She came to our house after dinner and in the morning she was asleep on the day bed. I wouldn't have gone back to a hot house either. It has been one hot scorching summer. Alika started her new job today. She was supposed to start last week but it got pushed back one week.

Tired from all their house work!

I don't know what Carter is looking at, there must have been a TV in the room.

Grandma "interviewed" her new basement mate and approved. Hoping it works out as a good situation for both. Mom gets lonely and this lady is home a lot. She is young but had cancer as a child and now has rheumatoid arthritis. She likes to do genealogy, read and make jewelry. Here's hoping she's not a psycho. I don't need anymore drama. I think she's a Republican, but hey everyone has their faults:)

Alika bought Don a box of "old" games. Jacks, marbles, pick up sticks, domino's and cards. It was fun. Steph beat me at Jacks. Sean is the king of marbles. I am trying to teach Sean how to throw the ball up and catch it for Jacks but he hasn't gotten it down yet. He did learn to whistle and snap and can now do both at the same time.

Then we had ice cream cake! Yippee! Happy Birthday.
