My mom called today and told me that there were really bad storms.  She said that they had to run to the basement this morning.  Ugh!  The whole Midwest is getting blasted.

Yesterday was Noah’s birthday.  When he woke I started singing Happy Birthday and he said, “No, no, you can’t sing my friends haven’t arrived yet.”  I explained to him that we had had one party in Michigan already and that we would have another when our Jungle Java opens next month.  He made this really sad face so I got on the phone with Carol and invited her and the boys over at lunch for some cake.  All of his friends dropped by yesterday and gave him a present.    They were so sweet and thoughtful.  To all my neighbors there will be a big party at the JJ.

I have two new favorite shows this summer.  The first one is Equator.  I believe this is a series as I have watched two.  Noah was glued to the one about the fish at the equator on the reef.  The second show is When We Left Earth:  The NASA Missions.  NASA is celebrating 50 years!  My dad used to work at the Kennedy Space Center.  We Lived in Titusville during this exciting time.  We watche Apollo 11 take off for the moon.  I was only two.   My dad used to come to my schools and talk about space and how the ship had to use the moon and earths gravitational pull to sling shot them to and fro.  My dad even had a replica of a scroll they left on the moon.  It had everyone’s name who worked at the station.  The original is on the moon and my dad’s copy is now somewhere only his second wife, Lynn, knows(bitch).  Any way I remember my dad taking me to one of the best movies I have ever seen, The Right Stuff.  That kind of fueled my love for science.  What an exciting time to be alive.  If you haven’t seen that movie it is a must see.

OK now on to Jungle Java.  I’ll post some pictures of the progress later today.
