Back From The Windy City
The troops have all returned to their homes from the Windy City (Chicago). No stories to report YET. Seems like they all had a good time on Daddy's dime. Oh "The Madge" bought me a T-Shirt that has Chicago on the front. Whatcha think, airport gift shop????

Party Time This Weekend
First things first - Still no rain here with nothing in sight. The temperature records are being shattered, 100 plus every day over the past week. The extended forecast calls for cooler days with a slight possibility of rain on September 12th. Things could be worse, we could own a hot dog stand on a beach in New York. Rain, rain go away. The Northeast has been underwater for most of the month and their seven day forecast is more rain.
This weekend the Murphy girls are living large in Chicago. The only phone call I've gotten was on thursday with "The Madge" telling me that they have all arrived safely and checked in to the hotel. While they were dining at the "Firehouse Restaurant", I was chomping down on a hamburger at "Mels" and when they are having lunch at the Signature Room, I will be enjoying the cold tuna casserole that "The Madge" left for me. I really do like that casserole and she has prepared at least five pounds of it, as it has to last me four days. Now I know how Cooper must feel after eating the same dog food every day, Yuk.
I am sure I will hear numerous stories about their weekend.
Last night was the kickoff of the Garden City High School Class of 64 reunion. The festivities began, for some people, in New York City and wound up in Leo's in Garden City. I did receive a phone call from William J Kenney Esq from the back seat of a Limo telling me that he missed me. I tried calling him this morning to see how his head felt but no answer. I am sure he is resting up for the big party tonight. I am also sure I will hear many stories about the reunion. Forty Five Years, wow.

She's BBBBaaaacccckkkk !!!!
"The Madge" is back from CT. Erin, Caden and "The Madge" all returned back to Texas yesterday from the soggy Northeast. During their stay they had one day without rain, this however proved beneficial for me. How many people want to take a one year old out in the rain to look at real estate? The only place she did see required too too much upgrading so I am safe for now. 
As previously predicted she tried to see her "one" friend in CT, but Lorraine was M.I.A., which means she was at her second house in Spring Lake, NJ. The visiting Texans did however manage to see my sister, brother in law and their family for a BBQ at their house on Long Island. No, "The Madge" did not do the driving. Since her return she has been very quiet about her summer relocation desires. I was hoping that she would have brought some rain with her. We haven't seen a drop of it in nearly three weeks, and the temperatures are hitting 95 - 98 everyday. Jumping into the pool is like taking a bath, in the evening when you go skinny dipping, the air temp is cooler than the water temp. Yesterday I heard the familiar chimes of a ice cream truck but by the time I got there this is what I found.
The following are recent pictures of the Grandchildren.
Thousands of dollars worth of toys and they play with the empty box.
At least two people are interested in the story.
It's nice to share your toys.
A shopping cart for boy's ???????????

"The Madge" will be here for a couple of weeks then it's off to Chicago. What's in Chicago you ask. All the Murphy girls are joining forces in the windy city to celebrate Colleen's birthday. Chicago is their preferred Big City. Colleen is turning 40, God I am old, so "The Madge" and the four girls are hitting the city for a girls weekend away. I can't wait to see that Amex statement. Turning 40, wow, that means I just turned 23 when she was born, double wow. Speaking of Colleen, she started her new job, that will relocate her to New Joisey, and I am so proud of her and how hard she works. Here's a few pictures of her "on the job".
Fishing in Key West
A day at the ball park with Shell's $600 per seat tickets
Hanging out with a couple of NY Jets prospects.
Colleen keep up all the good work but now and then take a breather.
