Vacation

Won't blog again until September 10. John is actually taking 2 weeks of vacation time. Just chillin'. Will fill you in on the 10th.

Les Artistes

Artwork by Bekah - Age 14 1/2



Artwork by Roxie - Age 11

Bekah and Roxie gave us the above two pieces of art. Bekah and Roxie also did miniatures for us but the are so small and on little canvases so we cannot scan them into our computer. I really like their art and have several displayed in our home.

Have a super, duper weekend!

Really?

Well, we are near the end of our 3rd month over 90 degrees. Almost one month was over 100. We are hot and the land is very dry as we have had little to no rain during our 'monsoon' season. Everyone gets so excited when it looks like it's going to rain but most of the time - nothing. It is cloudy today (partly) and so -- there is a chance. Wish us luck - we need the rain and cool down that comes with it - badly!

Tropical Storm Gordon

Absolutely beautiful and frightening.

Have a great weekend everyone.

What Else Is New?

We all have budget constraints. We had them for a few years now, or haven't you noticed. If John and I were to build a pyramid it would be pretty small (see above) but it would be really nice, have straight lines, and we would love it - 'cause that's the way we are.

GOODBYE, to the Coyans. They are flying back to the Czech Republic this evening. It was so great seeing them for the 8 days they were here and speaking with them on the phone thereafter. We love you all!!!

Granddaughters Together

This summer is the first time our three granddaughters have been together. Marcelle was born three months after Bekah and Roxie's visit three years ago. Lots of threes!!! Here they are playing with Playdoh together - three cousins having fun together. Makes my heart happy.

Go!

Been watching Track and Field the last couple of days. Love this cartoon.

Got a big rainfall last night, lost of thunder and lightening. Really, really need the rain - Thank You, Lord!

New Olympic Sports

Hope you all have been enjoying the Olympic Games as much as we have. The Gymnastics, Swimming, and Diving events have been awesome. Other sports are great but these three have been spectacular. Looking forward to more each day.

Posted today instead of tomorrow as I will be out very early for a doctor's appointment.

Have an olympic weekend!
