July 17 - my brother messaged me on Messenger, the breakfast was ready. Told him that I am not home. He thought I was still sleeping upstairs. I arrived late again because of the travel time. I wasn't late before but for the past two Sundays I was.
My sister messaged me yesterday that they are returning from their vacation.
They attended my relative's 50th wedding anniversary. I cooked shrimp dish yesterday for 3.
Today, my sister and the kids arrived. They became darker because they can roam around the neighborhood back home. They played outside the house which is good that they were able to play with other kids.

It's nice they were able to go outside and play with other kids and get some sun. 
I'm sure you were ready for them to come back home.

@DaddyEvil, kids like to play under the heat of the sun. They don't mind the temperature unlike the the once young though not all afraid to stay under the heat of the sun.

@cacay1 I'd be more worried about contracting Covid from other people than being out in the sun.

I prepared myself for some noise again. My nephew went to the river and took a dip. He was with his brother. Thought they were missing because they did not ask permission to go. Good thing, the son of my cousin told them where they were. My father went hurriedly and found my nephew already swimming. As if he knows how to.

Yes that is true. They should I am glad they were able to, however, going far away is another story.

@LadyDuck I like to see kids playing outside while raining. I feel like a little kids seeing them run free.

@jobelbojel it's not good for the kids to go to the riverside alone and take a dip in it. We have a river nearby and I remember in our childhood days one of my neighbor's kids drown in the river.

@sjvg1976 that's tragic. That's why when I was a kid, my parents does not allow us to go alone or with the other kids.

I wish they are safe from danger. We don't know how deep the river was.

When they were out it's just the 3 of us here. Me and my two brothers. One stays almost all day in his room doing his online freelance job. And the another one stays in my house. But he cooks here in my brother's house.

@JudyEv It will be light after a week given that they don't really go out here where we live.

I am happy they are back. Though they are noisy, I can tolerate it.

@RubyHawk That's true. The more I ask them to tone down, the more they wanted to play.

Super glad that they did because in our place kids are not going out. We have neighbors with kids but I don't see them outside.

@jobelbojel they should be allowed to go outside but you should always know where they are playing.

Starting today, they can only go outside infront of the house since there are no kids here in the street.

I cooked it on butter and garlic. I put fresh garlic and crispy garlic minced. I also added salted egg and sprite to taste.

Sure, it is really best for them. I asked them to play outside and most of the time confiscate their gadgets.

I think it's so nice when kids can go out and play, but these times can be so scary.

It's good to be under the sun so they can get vitamin D. But 8 am feels like midday because of the heat of the sun.
