This has been a pretty slow week for blogging. I just haven't felt very inspired to post much. I did take this photo this week of three butterflies chasing each other above a lantana bush.
One day this past week it was 104 degrees, and then a storm came and gave us just a little rain, and cooled things 10 degrees. But we need lots more rain, our whole yard is dead.
One small accomplishment for the week: I repaired 2 (two) VCRs. Now they both work again. It was just a matter of opening them up and finding the right place to clean and the right spot to replace a loose piece that fell out.
I haven't heard much from the boys this week. Andrew seems to not write as much as he used to now that he's married. Now there's a surprise, huh? I phoned David once this week, but he didn't answer. At least Rachel keeps talking to me. And she's been so happy lately, she hasn't even had anything to complain to me about.
Today we had a watermelon party in the neighborhood. It was a get-acquainted party for the residents' association. We are blessed to live in about the world's best neighborhood.
Speaking of good neighbors, my neighbor gave me a pair of Nike shoes today, worn about twice. She didn't find them comfortable, and they fit me perfectly. I had needed a new pair since I wear the outside heels off so quickly. The Lord provides.
Gary is at the Rangers' game tonight. I think it is their next to last game. A friend had an extra ticket. And Rachel is away at a party for the singles' group. I'm just home trying to think of something to blog about. And finish the laundry, and clean the kitchen, and you know.

So, those are probably Swallowtail butterflies. But, do you know which type? Are they Giants, perhaps?
I am amazed that you would attempt to fix a VCR. If I tried that, not only would it still not work, it would probably have no hope of EVER working.
My first good pair of shoes were given to me, too. Someone bought them and then was diagnosed with heel spurs, or something. I can't even remember the brand name.....but that's when I learned how valuable a decent shoe is to have on poor, tortured feet.
A wise person once said, "Spend money for good shoes and a good mattress. You're in/on one or the other 'bout all the time."
Yes, they are swallowtails probably giants. There was also a black swallowtail (which has a cool blue spot on it)but it wouldn't hold still so I could take a photos.
And yes, I know about good shoes. I used to have a significant problem with plantar fasciitis, which got better when I got some old-lady shoe inserts and quit going barefoot.
