Heat warning

Hot and humid, check on your vulnerable neighbors, limit outdoor activities, thunderstorms and tornadoes coming later in the day.

I stayed inside.

But we had a visitor thanks to her mother wanting to visit me on Father's Day.
The visit was very much appreciated.  The baby was sweet, animated and lively.  She now likes being upright and facing the room.  She stiffens her legs and stands up.  Someone has to provide balance and lateral support but she is standing up on her own two legs.

Today she talked and talked, still not in a language that any of the rest of us understand but clearly she wants to join the conversation.

For those who recognize the shirt, in Euro 2016 results from earlier in the day in Lille, France and Suisse played a nil-nil draw.  France wins the group and advances to the knock out round.

The Tour de France rolls out less than two weeks from today.

The storm seems to be staying mostly to our north, at least the most severe aspects.  I just now saw a report on the crawl underneath the basketball game on TV that the storm has produced SOFTBALL sized hail.

Babies change so fast -- talking and standing? Stiffening her legs? Amazing, though predictable.

The college girl and the high school senior boy gave their grandfather a card that said "grandfathers are Dad's that got promoted." Really sweet thought.

Softball sized hail? That would have meant new roofs for everyone.

All the visitors had an excellent time.
