Hi Everyone,

It's been a busy week or so at our house with school getting out and Father's Day. What school getting out means at our house is that my kids' friends are here about 10am instead of 4pm after school. The other day, on my day off, I realized it was lunch time, and there were about 7 boys in the house. I thought, "What am I going to feed all these growing boys and do I have enough?" That's when you quick look in the refrigerator or freezer hoping something jumps out at you and says, "take me!"

So that's what I did, and out jumped the cheese in the fridge and the bread in the freezer...grilled cheese sandwiches! It went over big...that and a little ketchup! They all sit around the kitchen island looking at me with those big puppy dog eyes wondering what I'm going to offer those constantly growing bodies and hollow legs, and they seemed pretty happy, at least for an hour or so. Then I hear, "where's the snacks?" Anyway, after I get this blog written, I'm off to the grocery store, where I could be spending a great deal of time this summer!

For Father's Day, we took Mark out for dinner Saturday evening after I got off the air, because Mark was very fortunate to be able to get invited to the US Open Golf Tournament in New York for Sunday. He was hesitant to go at first, knowing he would be gone all day on Father's Day, but I wanted him to go, because it's been a dream of his for a long time! He had a wonderful time, and we were all happy for him that he had that kind of opportunity this year!

On Sunday morning at church, they brought a few little kids up on the platform and interviewed them about their Dads. This one little girl, as sweet as can be, was asked what made her Dad so great? She thought, and then answered, "my Mom!" The whole congregation roared with laughter!

Well, you know what they say...out of the mouths of babes! This week on My Time with Mary Beth, we will be talking about Time for Kids. Joan Lunden will be joining me for one product that is very important for our children's safety. Even if you are a grandparent, you should see it. We will also be talking about Time to Take Care of Yourself, which will include one brand new item and one that is new this month. Then we will have Time for Tech, with our Today's Special Value and another item that I use and recommend. Sometimes the word 'tech' scares me, because I just assume it's over my head or I can't understand it, but I'm figuring out that it's not true. A lot of technical items are very easy to understand, and they really can make life easier. So come join me and we'll learn about them together!

By the way next week on Wednesday, my show is being preempted by another show Steel By Design Jewelry but then I will be back on July 8th with My Time with Mary Beth. Have a terrific week!

Blessings to you,
Mary Beth Roe
