July is here and the heat index stays over 100 till around eight every evening. I am looking forward to fall.

Today I enjoyed watching little mockingbirds learning to fly. The parent birds had built a nest in a tree right by the porch. I was sitting drinking a cup of coffee on the porch when I noticed a lot of movement in the tree. The little birds were going from branch to branch. Then the parent birds flew into another tree and the little birds followed. Each time the parent birds flew a farther distance the little ones followed. They made a circle and ended back to the nest. It was a pleasure to watch.

This morning my sister and I took dad to the store. We had been going to the store for them. Dad decided he wanted to go and do the shopping. As long as I can remember he has been the one doing the shopping. Mom didn't drive and didn't want to learn. I asked him to use the wheel chair and of course he said no. My sister pushed the cart and I walked behind him and his walker just in case he lost his balance. I figured I wouldn't be able to stop him from falling but he would have a soft landing. We did all right. His leg was sore when we made it home. He still doesn't do his daily exercises. He is making progress I guess.
