Here we go!

Okay, I am going to step out into the blogging world and see how I do. I have sat idly by and read other people's blogs and thought out loud that I could do that too, but never seriously considered it until now. As I sit here in my relatively "cool" living room after working out in yet another day of over 100 degree heat, and people, this is NOT the "dry" heat that they have out in Arizona, I am content to just sit here and doodle for awhile and enjoy this cooling off period of my day.
Someone mentioned to Vicki and I the other day that it was only FIVE more months until Christmas, and both our jaws dropped as we could not believe that over half of this year is already gone! It is amazing to me just how fast time does seem to go by now, and I can remember so clearly sitting in my classroom in high school thinking the day was NEVER going to end. A different perspective from a different age. I hear my grandkids groaning about how long the school day is, much less the school year, so they are still in the time is so slow mode!
Our remodeling project is still underway and sometimes I think we will be almost done in another week or so and then we dig into something and find a problem we did not anticipate and we are thrown for a loop, and we go in the holding pattern for a few days doing NOTHING! But we really are nearing completion in the living room, we ordered our cabinets, and then were told we have to wait three more weeks until they restock and have our cabinets available. So, in the meantime we plan on finishing every other little project and when the cabinets do arrive we just have to assemble them and put them up and then we are good to go! The big screen TV is only a month away!
Everyone out this way is doing okay, Jada and Dylan just returned from the other grandparents where they have been for the last two weeks and Leelynn and Zac have been busy helping Brandi and Buddy and little Trey has been into everything that he can get into without getting in too much trouble. Kylie turned THIRTEEN in June, so hard to believe, and Collin has a birthday coming up in August. They are all such GREAT kids, and I am not a prejudiced grandparent at all!
My work has been on the mild side the past couple of weeks, due to the hot weather we have not disconnected anyone's electricity and that has made my job a LOT easier and more fun too. I wish this would continue, not the hot weather, but the other part!
Okay, I am done for this blog, we will see if I can keep this going on any type of regular basis, if not, I will just continue to read what others write! As we said in our Vacation Bible School, "G'Day Mates!"
