Global warming? Not here.

So much for global warming. Maybe some parts of the country are having heat waves this summer, but it hasn't hit Michigan yet. Now for those that like it on the cool side you must be in heaven. Me, I just keep my sweater or sweatshirt handy.
Today is pretty nice but with the breeze going you won't catch me in the pool. I do not like to shiver when I come out of the water so it really needs to be warm for me to go swimming.

No more on the job at Walmart. I spoke with the woman who will hire me and she said she is still waiting for the official word that she can hire people. So I will wait a few more days and call again. Just to let her know that I am still interested.

We just might get to go on a short little vacation after all. I won 4 tickets to Six flags amusement park today. The closest one is near Chicago. I have a hotel gift card I won that will cover 1 or 2 nights stay (depending on the price of the room) and I am awaiting a free night stay coupon for red roof. We still have to pay for one ticket (57.00) but could be a fairly cheap trip if we keep it short and pack some of our food in the cooler like we usually do.

I am hoping to go on a short trip with my small group friends, unless I begin working about then.
I have some prepaid gift cards I won that should cover most of the expenses for that trip.

Natalie is not doing well in drivers Ed. I don't think they are going to issue her the papers to get her learners permit. The instructor is concerned because her reflexes are very slow. Also she seems to have moments of spacing out. She has always done this to a certain extent . She did see a neurologist when she was younger. They never really did anything, just diagnosed her with developmental delays. (which basically means she was not up to par but they don't know why or what to call it) I tried to get her in with that Dr. and they couldn't see her until the middle September. So I called someone else and they will see her the end of the month. They did check her for epilpesy long ago. There is a form of it where you don't have seizures but you zone out for a few seconds at a time. I will have them recheck for that. She was having greater than normal trouble concentrating towards the end of this year. So we shall see. Her hand eye coordination has always been poor; which can be a problem for for a beginning driver. Paul has taken her to an empty parking lot a few times and he noticed the same problems the instructor is having.

We had a fun night July 3rd. We had some friends over and then watched the fireworks from our front yard. They shoot them off at the park across the street. On July 4th they have an old fashioned picnic at the same park. So we went and played a few games and had hot dogs and ice cream. Then we picked up Grandma Sharpe and we played some family games.
All and all a nice weekend in spite of the cooler, dreary weather.
