I'll see if Pam will take a picture of Simba and Katrina and upload it to the computer for me so that I can post it. Wouldn't you know,the last couple of days have been very cool here...dropping from a hot high 80s to the mid 60s. So now they both look so cold and Simba has even been sneezing. I'm sure that it'll get hot again very soon.

Pam, Archie, David and Paula just returned from Mexico the 23rd of June after spending 3 weeks there. Now the kids are so tanned. David is 17 years old, will be 18 in Jan., is working after school and during the summer vacation at Arby's. He's been there a couple of years now. He even bought himself a very nice Jimmy and runs me around a lot. His school grades have always been very good but seems to be slipping a little since he started working. He's about a B average. Paula, on the other hand, has a 3.87 average and never brings homework home. She says that she does it all in homeroom. She just turned 12.

Both David and Paula are taller than me. David is over 6' and Paula is taller than my 5'. My other grandson, Joshua, is very tall, as well. Over 6'. The only tall genes in our families is my great grandfather, the Johnston family. Must be where they are getting it.

Did your dad get one of those new houses built for the flood victims? How's he doing now? Does he have cats and did he lose any of his cats in the floods? That flood in Iowa was so freakish...something that a person wouldn't expect to happen here. My nephew who lives in Iowa City got flooded out of his apartment and was told that he had to vacate the premises. They wouldn't let him find his cat and thought that he had lost him forever. But when the waters went down, he returned to his apartment and his cat was still there, waiting for him and hungry. So sad for all who were affected by it.

The same goes for the tornadoes that we had last spring and summer. Sure, we have tornadoes in Iowa but never any like last year. Very freakish!
