On Sat. we had a birthday for grand #5 who turned 3. DS got her a very large swimming pool. All the kids knew is was for all of them. #5 goes in for her hearing test today. Her cake was a chocolate w/blue frosting princess cake. DD made a bowl cake and got her a Barbie & stuck it in the middle. The cake was the skirt of a dress. Her older brother helped her blow out the candles. lol
Sun. I did laundry, ironed, flipped my mattress over which is no small feat, and then went to DD's to celebrate Father's Day. DSIL got a new gas grill so he used it. We played a game and then came home.
I spent some time with Sophie when I started reaing my next book.
IRS sent me a missive that I owned several hundreds of dollars in back taxes. It turned out that they keyed in amount wrong and didn't even bother to look at the return where they would have seen the amount listed on the proper line. The bad thing was the person who did my taxes didn't use my list of income and only used the 1099's and W2. He missed my unemployment for which I didn't have a 1099. So I have to pay some tax, but not as much as IRS thinks I do. I'm not very happy over that, but I have to consider that people make mistakes. It is my fault for not checking the return before he efiled it. Oh well. Such is life.
There are people who whatever they do have it turn out well and there are people who touch things and they always go sour.
I do wish this heat would lessen. The humidity is what is making it so bad. Usually I try to get home by about 1 but my last apt. today is at 2.
Time to get a move on. I have to see if there is a certain grocery store near where I'm going so I can pick up some cat food. Maxine only wants to eat one kind and DS humors her. He ignores me when I say that she'll eat when she gets hungry. Trouble is that I'm usually the one that has to get the food. I can see into the future and he'll be asking me to pick up cat food for him once we move and will be living in separate houses. lol
Have a great day.

Sounds as if you had an enjoyable weekend in spite of the IRS, Karen!
