Day 99

Another beautiful day in terms of weather. When I first woke up, it was gray and overcast, but by 11:00 it was sunny and just slightly warm. 
First thing I did after I fed the dogs, was take some packages over to the post office to mail to Wade. Let's hope that they get there soon. Some-times it seems like forever for something to reach him. 
By 10:00, Wade was calling me on skype and we had another nice long visit. I really look forward to my Monday and Friday mornings and that time I get to spend with him. We finished around close to 11:00. My day was just starting and he was headed for dinner and then an evening of rest. 

This is a picture of one of Wade's students at Wright Patt AFB and this is Wade's office - actually 'old' office. They are renovating it to hold someone else. There won't be any more cave on the wall, no more superhero decorations, and that desk top will go into storage (hopefully). I think Wade wants to use that desk top for something else when he returns. The talk is that his old office is turning back into a boring office. 
At noon I went outside in my backyard with Wade's lawn chair, some coffee, my phone (as an alarm clock) and my kindle. I intended to spend 30 minutes soaking up some Vitamin D. I left the back door open and all the dogs ran out as usual. My cat, Opie, however was very timid and wasn't sure what he was supposed to do. He sniffed around on the back porch and did venture down the stairs a few times, but Sheba appointed herself "Official Cat Sitter" and got Opie back up the stairs. Then Sheba sat at the bottom of the stairs and made sure that Opie didn't get out. It was funny to watch their interaction. Sheba's not very bossy, but she did not want Opie in the yard. I got a good dose of sun and actually turned a little red but just a little.

Today was the first day of our summer 'tradition' of Kids Bowl Free. We started this last year. The local bowling alley accepts coupons for Kids Bowl Free. And I buy the adult pass which costs about 15 dollars for the whole summer. This allows us to bowl 2 games every day of the week for FREE!!! We have to pay for shoe rentals, but it's a great treat to do this at least once a week. Both Jaide and Jared have improved compared to last year. They did great. 

First game

And second game. 

 I don't think the air conditioner went on at all today which is a nice change. Over all, I believe this was a good day. Now I'm enjoying a big green salad with tuna fish and lots of veggies - a great summer-type dinner.
