One O' Three

It's supposed to 103 here today. Oh boy!! Hoohoo. A friend of mine (who is also the mother of Sophy's "Very Best Friend") is coming over today for the girls to swim and pretend. This should be interesting as both girls live in Pretend World more often than not. She is originally from Ohio, so I'm not sure if these temps are what is the norm back home. I have to admit...I'm not much of an authority on the fine state of Ohio. Buckeyes right? HHhhhmmm, maybe I'll inquire about that today.
PDaddy and I are leaving tomorrow for our last 'official' trip of the summer. We're leaving the kids with my folks and driving BACK to Florida. We'll be at the beach with PDaddy's sis/her hub until Sunday at which time I hope to stop at the ginormous outlet mall in Gulfport to buy the kids some school clothes before we head home. On our way to Florida, we're stopping at the Eudora Weltey house and garden in Jackson for a tour. I CAN'T WAIT!!! I hope we're allowed to take pics...surely! I'm even more excited because I've never been to the beach without children. SIL and I are beside ourselves at the prospect of claiming one of the condo's beach chair/umbrellas and staying in it all day--something we've never been able to do during all of our family trips that include the ankle biters uh, I mean children. Oh, and we're having dinner HERE on Friday evening. SIL says the one in New Orleans is a hot spot, so we're going to give it a whirl! Can I tell you how strange it will be to eat a non-kid-friendly restaurant? Heehee. SO. I better go get lunch lined up for the gang that is about to arrive.
Toodles.
