That damn tire is flat again!

AAA is on its way...so much for a patch! I guess it got me to work for another couple of weeks. Fortunately I'm getting the spare put on now while it's still light instead of tomorrow when I'm rushing to get to the market and my mammogram. I guess I'll have to buy a new one. I was lucky to be home.

I'm glad i noticed it now in the garage. The air is still smoky.

At the end of the day yesterday I had the kids uncovered more new science books. Here I thought we were done!

John may not teach summer school with me after all. If not I'll end up hauling all his math books back to school. I should had left him alone. If he couldn't make the effort to go see the director, I shouldn't have had the kids pack and lug the books out. He doesn't know where he will be teaching next year either. There for the grace of God go I.

I asked Peggy if she knew where Jacob Wesley was born and she didn't. Our grandmother was Bessie. She had 2 sisters Florence, who we knew and Dora. Wonder what Bessie's real name was? I think she died of breast cancer too in NYC. I'm having the kids do a family tree that goes back three generations and I can't do it either.
It asks only for dates born and died and married and locations. I know grandpa John Edward was born in 1898 in this country while his sister Pearl was not. I wrote to Mary Helen too. When were they married? In Washington D.C.? I've even lost the death dates of my parents mom 1/81 dad 8/85? What day? My maternal grandmother also died of breast cancer. She was a Ziegler. I know her dad was on the railroad and was Charles. Such a shame never to know any grans just Francis.

Joe's sister gave us a bible and I have some of the information there. We don't know for example where in Russia, or Minsk dad's dad was from, now Bella Rus, in Polland. Only that he immigrated during the 1st WW. We would have been in the death camps.

The temps have dropped from 100 to 6o. Ever noticed how much sodium stuff has? Even humus? Crackers? Soup?
Make it at home! It's the only way to eliminate it.

I'm taking the cooler I bought for Bob's visit to the market tomorrow for the fish since I have to go to the hospital afterwards.
