Here are some happy thoughts for today:
We had a bad storm yesterday. My neighbor Janet took this photo afterwards of a rainbow landing at our house or backyard!
Isn't this cool?
The corn on the cob is finally ready and our local farmer had some great ears. My husband could eat corn every day in the summer so he's happy...plus he makes it himself (in the microwave) so it's a win-win for me!
Today is a big day for me. I'm finally getting hearing aids today. I've had problems hearing for a while (I have tinnitus) and it's really gotten worse the last five years. Anyway, I've avoided a lot of activities because I often just can't tell what folks are saying. Sometimes they even think I don't recognize them because I look confused as they are speaking to me. Hopefully the hearing aids will work. None of the doctors I spoke with could guarantee the hearing aids will work but it's worth a shot.
This week's prompt is about picnics:
"Do you like picnics? Are you a sit on a blanket on the ground person, or a table outside? Tell us about some picnic that stands out in your memory ( who was there, foods, time and place, etc)."
I'm no longer a picnic person. I just don't like to eat outside because of bees, flies, and heat. But as a child we had two main picnics each year. My father's family had a reunion around July 4 (my Pop pop's birthday) and my mother's family had one in August.
Although the families had the picnics in pavilions, I don't remember much about the food at all. The reunions were held at two magical amusement parks and as kids, we just ate so we could go the park.
One of those parks is still open--Knoebel's Grove. My husband had never been there but when we finally took the grandkids, he declared that it was the best park he had ever visited.
Wishing you a safe and happy holiday!

Two great memes there! I hope the hearing aids work for you!
I hope all is well with your new hearing aids, and that they are really making a difference, Michele! We used to have an amusement park down in Denver that you could take a picnic to, and it was so much fun. I wouldn't want to go anymore, but it was enjoyable when the kids were little.
