Good Mid-Morning!
Never got any RAIN here yesterday or last night. Funny how the "bands of rain" get pushed in one direction and miss us here in Macomb and yet we're so close to Lee & Lu-Ann!
75F beautiful degrees outside right now and Sunny. When I get off of here I'm going to enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck. That is unless my neighbor starts up his chain saw on those Willow stumps. I saw him out there earlier with it in his hand! They cleaned up all the branches that had leaves on them yesterday to get them into the trash for pick-up. I must say they worked like little beaver gathering and stuffing bags with those thin "willowy" branches!
RICK UPDATE: Skip along if this gets to be too much hearing about him.
Rick got transferred, by ambulance of course, to our main Detroit Medical Center Hospital In-Patient SPINE CENTER. They have a section with 68 beds and do folks that have extensive cervical injures. I'm thinking that his Son, the Doctor, had the wherewithal to get him into this place. A lot of the athletics with major injuries get sent there. Hopefully, Rick will get the excellent-intense care he needs to come back from this accident.
The visiting issue will be much harder since it's about 50 mins away from most of his friends and family and the Medical Center is SO COMPLEX in that area with all the various buildings it's a real problem WALKING from the HUGE PARKING LOT to the specific area or building he will be in. I'm working on getting a good detailed map. Art and I both can walk, but knowing where we're going will help shorten the stress on both of us.
If it was just me going to visit Rick I would park in another area downtown and get a UBER to drive me to the front door! 
That won't happen with Mr Art in the picture! Ha Ha.
DAVE: FANTASTIC SONG you picked to usher out August. It's a totally sentimental song for me. Back when I was a "kid".......lord knows that was a long time ago. I had my first crush on DON WILSON! Yup, I still remember his name. He was a couple of years older than me and was going out of state to be with relatives for the Summer. I still remember being at his best friends Birthday Party and we all were having a great time dancing in this big beautiful yard with mini-lites strung between trees and the time came to go home. It was time to say goodbye. This was the SONG that was playing for that last dance! He did come back in Sept and we saw each other until he went off to College! He came home on occasion and came down to our Serbian Church Hall where we had Friday Night Choir rehearsals. I still remember the 1st time he peeked into the door window and I saw him and got Butterflies in my stomach. Yup, that really does happen! 
We all went out after choir for pizza at Buddy's Pizza. Saw him a few more times and then as time passed so did our togetherness! It was a incent type of relationship. He went on to get married years later and moved to Montana. I have no clue where he is now. Funny how you just seem to remember that first CRUSH! 
SO DAVE... THANKS for the MEMORY VIDEO! It'll repeat itself in my head for most of the morning!
I managed to use my Kohl's $10 reward money last night before it expired. I bought a T-shirt for myself that was already "On Sale" (what isn't these days) and applied the reward money and ended up paying $2.06 balance! So I feel I did good. Kohl's got a extra $2.06 out of me and no more!
Lee/ Lu-Ann: Have fun at the wine making outing. Try not to sample too much wine before having to drive home.
The minute I read what you were going to be doing I thought of Lucy! Ha ha. Have fun!
Karen: Your weather still looks a tad HOT. Take care and use that SUNSCREEN Lotion if you're outside doing work or by the pool!
