Checking In

Still triple digit temperatures and no rain in sight. Sigh. 

Amazing that July is almost over. It's been a busy month keeping grandkids big and little, and grandpuppies too. Now that everyone is back from their vacations and getting ready for school to start soon, we are able to get back to work on the house. Earlier this year, we took in part of our back porch and made a "mud room" and a bathroom just off the kitchen and dining area. Before, the back door opened directly into the dining area. This gives us a better back entrance with quite a bit more room, and also gives us a much needed second bathroom downstairs. After the bathroom is finished, we will start taking up all of the ceramic tile in the kitchen and laundry room and the wood laminate in the living room and hallway in preparation for new flooring. We've chosen a beautiful dark wood-look porcelain tile. We will also paint the downstairs before the new floor goes in. It's a lot, but it will be beautiful when it's finished. We'd like to have it finished by the end of the year, but we'll see.

Stay cool, everyone!

Ugh.

 Triple Digits and higher humidity for the next 10 days. Ugh.

Happy 4th!

 

Ahhhhh!!!

And the year is half over. What??!?

49!

 Who are these two babies?

49 years ago today, we said "I Do"-and we still do. Wouldn't change a minute of it-the good, bad and the ugly have made us who we are today-I'm so happy to be spending my life with my best friend!

First Day of Summer

 It looks as though this summer will be a humdinger temperature-wise. It's been very hot and humid already. Triple digits and probably too much humidity forecast for this coming week. Ugh. At least now, the days will start getting shorter! Can you tell I'm not a Summer person? Looks like we will be sitting on Hell's Front Porch for the foreseeable future! 

 

Take care and stay cool!

Father's Day

 My Dad-Love and miss him every day, but what a blessing and privilege to have him in my life for 51 years!
