Good Morning

 Good Morning Friends,

  Wanted to drop in and say Hello.  We are back to extreme humidity and very hot temperatures again-last week and continues on. July will close out being a very hot one.

 Wow August will be coming in this week-can you believe it??  For being stuck in the house this summer, the months continue to fly by for me. So much to do this coming fall too before winter-hoping we have a cool fall but knowing this part of Missouri, some years with this hot of a summer with lots or rainfall we could go right into very cold.

  Since I don't watch regular news shows anymore I totally forgot about our Missouri primary election. There have been so many campaign ads that reminded me. Voting is next week Tuesday.. We will be voting new everything this year beginning with the governor.  I need to look into getting Larry a mail in to vote for November.  I found a site online that shows you what is on the ballot and everyone was asked questions to answer and then you can print off your choices. There are two amendments to the Missouri constitution that I do not understand that I will look into before voting.

  Are you enjoying the Olympics in  Paris?  I love sports so I look forward to the Olympics.

    I enjoyed the opening ceremony on the seine river, but was appalled by their mockery of the last supper-which I read some say it was something else from their French history-but whatever it was-not fit for children to view. Thought it was too long as well-I watched it live-- was almost 5 hours long. It was a lot of drama and anticipation.  I found the games on nbc and usa networks-which I record live instead of watching the summery on nbc's evening show. I found archery-very exciting, shooting, surfing huge waves in Tahiti, equestrian and of course gymnastics. The swimming events are just not the same without Phelps and I do enjoy beach volleyball too but have not enjoyed that this year as much-the USA team in my opinion is not as good or as fun to watch as past great teams. So I am not watching those games anymore.

  Anyone paying extra for Peacock?  This is nbc's streaming channel that seem to push a lot of prime sports on to-I am paying enough each month for directv's streaming service so I won't be paying for more addons.      

    We are enjoying streaming tv better-as we can add apps-new to us since we don't use cell phones. You Tube is full of all sorts of programming now including old and free movies. I can also view my subscriptions on the large tv now instead of on my computer screen-I like that. A friend told us about a free app Tubi which is loaded with all sorts of free shows as well.  Streaming seems to be the future now.  

   I don't know how so many people watch all of these shows on their cell phones instead of on a nice tv screen.

  I am still watching KC Royals baseball games too-I record most shows now-and then buzz through the commercials.  More enjoyable and shorter viewing. The Royals this year are trying to get into the playoffs.

  Well enough about sports, sorry about that if you are not into sports-my husband doesn't watch any sports at all.  I am working on the same embroidery panel-I am not liking this one as much as others I have done. Usually all the motifs have the X's and the background with nothing-this is set up the opposite. I am finding it difficult to add in the X's where they are mot marked. The large wolf is about half finished now.

  No photos to share so will share a Snoopy-hoping I didn't bore you too much.
