We celebrated July 4th very low key. In the evening we enjoyed the show that distant neighbors across the way put on and it almost looked professional. Off farther in the distance we could see the professional show done in the city. We could see the highest reaching fireworks. When we first moved out here there were hardly any shot, but as more houses are built there are more people shooting them. The nice thing is, they stop around 10:30 or so. We get a great show as well as a good night's rest.
The 4th seemed to be a good day to go to TN. Another truly American thing we did, go to Walmart. Roy wanted to check the price of shot gun shells as well as pick up a few other items he needed. Since Mr Mo and G Mo like the feel of my winter bed jacket, we found pre-cut fabric of that same texture for the boys. It is kind of funny the things we had in our shopping basket or could have had. Shot gun shells, prune juice and a plunger, and to make the point, none of these items were related to each other. We decided to put one of the items back as not to draw suspicions checking out. We had other junk, but we were cracking up, although I am sure that Walmart checkers have seen a lot of stuff and could tell us some stories. Upon the conclusion of the trip we went to Sonic to get hot dogs for lunch and to celebrate the holiday. We were going to go to Pals in TN, but the drive through line, no indoor ordering, was what seemed to be a mile long.
Last week our beloved coffee maker bit the dust and we put the next one in without a fuss. Several years ago we ordered the new coffee maker that was like the old one but the old one gave us two more years of semi dependable service. Back then, before any shortage of supply chain it took months for it to arrive. I can only think what it might be now. They might have quit making it too. Who knows?
The exciting news around here has been G Mo coming inside to stay. Only one not too excited about that is Mr. Mo. We have them together several times a day on the front porch and their playpens are right next to each other. Their food dishes are mere inches apart with the mesh in-between them. We are reading all we can on getting these two to socialize although G Mo is holding his own. I have a feeling he is going to get much bigger than Mr. Mo, so there is that. G Mo right now is a low energy, laid back kitten. Mr. Mo is entering the teenage years. I will leave it at that. Next week G Mo goes to the vet to get checked out and hopefully get his snip snip surgery scheduled. Mr. Mo goes the week after that since we just have the one carrier and putting them in at the same time might not be the best thing to do.
The gastro office finally called and my consultation appointment is in September, but I've also been put on the cancellation list. This has been a long journey and it seems it has a longer time to go.

Roy is getting ready to meet Kyle to shop for the Vermont mission trip. I have a few things to take care of this morning and then get back to studying Sunday's combined lesson. We didn't ger Asa covered so we need to have that taste of good king before we get to King Ahab and the rest of the doing evil in the sight of the Lord gang.
Yesterday was such a fun day. We met CourtneyS and fam at Blue Rooster. They are in the area on vacation. Lunch was delicious and more fun cause four out six of us are kind of silly. We talked about our funny memories as well as new things that have happened along the way. Wish we had more time but they needed to move on out and see everything they could for the rest of the day. Roy and I went over to Robin Blu because they have the cinnamon bourbon popcorn I fell in love with last fall. We got the last two packages. I love the taste of bourbon but don't drink it. So, this is good. We went next door to the new bakery Farm to Cake and got a couple of things. Very tasty and the lady who owns it is very nice. They might have gingerbread cookies around Christmas and for this I am grateful. We tried to get over to Christopher Farms but the roads leading to there are all being worked on. With the skies growing ominous, we headed back home, in the rain. We were going to stop by the Les-ter farmer's market but rain. Came on home, then after the rain moved on we went to TJs for peaches and a stop at Ingles, cause they have creamer on sale. The kind that we like. Later in the evening we had the most successful yet porch session with Mr. Mo and G Mo. G Mo actually went after the Mr and it turned the tide a bit in the struggle to get along. Last night gave us hope we are on the right track.
