Winging It Solo!

Shimmy and her family have arrived from LaLa land. It's always good to see them. Sysguy was only here for a week and returned to CA yesterday. Shimmy and the 2 Things will be here for another 2 weeks.

Well, not here exactly. She is staying with her sister, Cricket, in Forgottonia! That's where all the kids are. WonderMom has gone to spend a couple of days of quality time with her daughters unencumbered by spousal demands! Well Paco will be there to manage the combined broods - he has a great way with kids. Anyhow, I'll go pick WonderMom up on Friday, before I starve to death!

We spent the 4th of July with them and went to their local celebration and fireworks in the evening. Paco played in the municipal band and performed a solo.

We (WonderMom and I) were introduced to the Wii game platform by Cricket and Paco. I'll have to admit, the Golf and Bowling games are very realistic, and provide a surprisingly accurate challange. Some of the other games, not so much. Sysguy brought a Mario game with him and we watched him and Paco play that for a while, but it held no interest for me. Both Cricket and Shimmy have Wii now, as well as a friend or 2 of ours. We're being surrounded! Don't think we'll be indulging though. Too much computer and quilting stuff to keep busy with.

I'll be back in a few days with photos of the summer flowers and my upside down tomato plants.
