Part 1 Audrey's Party

3 year old Grand-daughter, lovely Miss Audrey, had a 2nd Birthday Party this year. Lara had one for Audrey's friends at the neatest place, Verterans Oasis Park in Chandler. We had never been there before but they have a lake stocked with large mouth & small mouth bass so I am sure we (or Grandpa) will go back. There is an ecological center there that does BD parties. The kids made Butterflies, then made Bug Boxes, then went out into the park to catch bugs (plastic harmless ones). They had a parachute the kids tossed up and down full of stuffed animal bugs!

Thank goodness that I found & married Reg. He is a true genius. He got up early (as always) this morning and started his day with coffee and taking the entire pool system apart. If we had to pay for this it would have been a small fortune. He cleaned all the filters which is a big job in itself, he checked everything - looking for worn parts that could cause a breakdown in the long hot summer ahead and cleaned out all the other motorized pool equipment. Reg can fix anything . When I look at the pool equipment area - I get a rush of terror. Even though Reg has labeled everything I know I could never even run it, much less repair or maintain it !
