Our little girl turned 16 last Monday. We had a little family birthday on Monday, where we gave her her presents (some dragon books, phone case, hoodie, Pop figure, etc) and had angel food cake with fruit topping. The real party was Friday when she had a bunch of friends come over in the afternoon and have a pool party. There were about 6 or 7 girls here to play in the pool and have fun with bubbles and sidewalk chalk, hang out and have grilled hot dogs, and watch Jim Henson movies. The Muppet Movie to start, then Labyrinth, and finally the Dark Crystal. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and the pool was nice because it has been so hot lately. It was a sleepover party, but only a couple of the girls were able to stay overnight. In the morning I made pancakes and they hung out until the parents came.....389 cases of coronavirus countywide now; still going up fast but the rate is decreasing a bit.....Beth and I have decided to get an air conditioner put on the camper. We're treating it as our anniversary presents to each other. We're camping in about 3 weeks down south, where there is no pool or beach, so we need something to cool us down. We went around to a couple RV repair places near Warsaw but eventually took the camper to the same place in Goshen that we'd had it repaired at in years past. We took it up Friday, they said it shouldn't take too long to get it done.....I would have taken the camper to Goshen Wednesday but after a short time at work, I tried to leave and the truck would not start. No clicks, no whirrs, no nothing. So I had it towed to Ab & Tom's and sure enough, the starter was dead, so I had to get that fixed first.....Church was at the building again this week, still not a whole lot of people at the second service.....For the first time ever, I have caught a mole in the backyard! It's been killing all the new grass I've been trying to grow in front of the pool, so even though I never had any luck with them before, I went out and got a mole trap Saturday evening and set it in the back yard. By Sunday after church, it was sprung, and there was a dead mole, a big one, caught in it! It was much bigger than I thought it would be. I don't know if there are others in the yard, but from the size of it and the size of the dead patch of lawn, I'd guess it was the only one. Don't know. We'll see soon enough, I guess. I reset the trap in the front yard to try to catch one there, too......Still no sign of Ruby, she's been gone 3 weeks now. I don't think she's coming back.....
