Shirley H.  That is what happened here.   Walmart comes in, and just about destroys every business in retail and food......................lots of people like  walmarts for the jobs they provide..........however, they are about the lowest paying place to work...............don't think that is so great.................they also supply the majority of their retail from China.......don't like that either......Wish all the kids were going to wish Nakai a good Father's day tomorrow at the BBQ.    These kids, just don't seem to think.   It is ok to have disaggremets , just end it, and don't drag a grudge forever.  My sisters family does this all the time.............Time is so short for all of  us  to waste it this way................Have a wonderful time SHirley.   Wish we had some of your cool temps.   Looks like summer is here to stay.   we have been in the high 90's for the last week and a half, and I am already for Fall...............never liked the heat/humidy here, it really zaps me...........Had to come in today, as I was so hot.   Didn't finsh mowing.  Going to go back out after 6 and try and finish...................I can usually make it, but today, this heat really affected me.......sam Our K mart is being outdone with 3 walmarts and targets.. I went in K Mart  not long ago and saw they do lay a ways.. something wal mart did away with..I'm  thinking Christmas stuff lay a ways..Well tomorrow we are going over to Maile's  at 3 for a bbq for Nakai's father day thing.. Keala and Paul aren't coming cause  Paul and David got into it and Paul isn't speaking to David..Keala will come  over Sunday after church to visit with her dad..It has been a chilly day today..  I have closed the living room window and put on a sweatshirt.. Gave my kitchen and bathroom a good cleaning.. If I can find us a place in Washougal,WA I am hoping we can move there..  Everyone tells me it is beautiful there..and in a rural setting..

Don't know if they work, but they both make  sense..................seems the sprays and granules we are now using, isn't  working that well, as the harsh chemicals that were once available, they  became immune to. Now, with less fighting defense think we are just stunning  them. Black ants are horrible this year. We had a line of them this morning,  from a tree , across our back deck, up the side of the house to our  Hummingbird feeder that is on a shepard's pole in my flower garden.........Jim  turned the water on, to activate the granules he put out yesterday. They  disappeared, but not sure if it killed them..........................can only  hope. Snakes, more this year than several seasons put together........YUK !  sam Joyce also I have heard to cover the tick with  vaseline thus the tick can't breathe and will back out on it's own.  I want the thing off me as fast as possiable and don't take the  time to do this. LOL just grab the thing and pull it out!!!!!! know  I shouldn't but I do. I'm With Sam going out today and get something  to spray the area with. I have black ants, ticks, spiders so need  something powerful. Ticks seem to be real bad this year also  snakes. All the wet Weather washing them out of their holes I  guess!!!!!!
