There seem to be an ever expanding number of courts and players! He was a tennis fanatic in much younger years but this is much easier on the joints. There are players from 8 to 90 so it is a game for anyone but the rules are a bit different as is the equipment.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-86584762746132312742019-06-18T14:18:02.203-04:002019-06-18T14:18:02.203-04:00I am interested in pickle ball.

Have you played? Where does you hubs play? Need to look into it here.<br />I agree my 3 year old is better at showing me things than telling me things. She holds things up to the phone for me to see, even when we are just on the landlines.<br /><br />We enjoyed Rocketman, too. PC was a bit reluctant to go but gave the movie a solid 7 when we left.onceuponatimehappilyeverafter.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496967140182523960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-21177166281361652152019-06-16T08:20:59.611-04:002019-06-16T08:20:59.611-04:00That is how we also survived in central Illinois i...That is how we also survived in central Illinois in the summer when I was growing up.

All rooms had multiple doorways and opened into each other. The central hallway had an attic fan that pulled air in through the open windows and into the center of the house. At my aunt's house in the midwest, the upstairs windows were all opened, and they placed a box fan in one window pointed OUTWARD to help pull air in the other windows. These methods made me aware of ventilation, cross-ventilation, etc. Modern building methods have made it so difficult for good cross-ventilation. It makes me wonder how building plans will change in the future. (I REALLY miss that attic fan!)kath001https://www.blogger.com/profile/15419353146614030036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-71095694109063225352019-06-15T17:41:47.418-04:002019-06-15T17:41:47.418-04:00We do love having the doors and windows open when ...We do love having the doors and windows open when we can.

However I just read an editorial that said it was cyber capitalism that was acting as "big brother" now with tracking and manipulating our thoughts/interests/actions. Something to think about.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-10464587760500268142019-06-15T12:37:24.920-04:002019-06-15T12:37:24.920-04:00I've lived in some major heat.

We keep our air at 80 degrees and mostly this works great, but we do live in a place where it cools down at night. Different in some place like Arizona I would expect. We use our slow cooker more for summer cooking than winter I expect..yesterday we made italian beef to shred for sandwiches or put on salads or whatever.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195838412173806659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-9907524484657755052019-06-15T09:19:21.612-04:002019-06-15T09:19:21.612-04:00Emotionally engaging is a great way do describe Ro...Emotionally engaging is a great way do describe Rock Man. Such a great movie. <br /><br />Here in Michigan we haven't had temperatures high enough to use our AC or have our irrigation system on. Using passive solar techniques to reduce AC bills does help---windows up at night to let the cool air in sort of things.<br /><br />I'm almost afraid to re-read 1984!
