Second try

Hmm, I just  did a post that did not appear. Good, because I was not happy with it.

Summer is whizzing by. It has been so nice the past couple of weeks, hot with no rain. This week it cooled off and rained a couple of days but now is nice again. We needed the rain, but it seems often around here that once it starts it does not stop. Not the case this time.

We have been busy weekends since the middle of June till now. It's kind of nice to have no commitments on a Saturday. Housework and yard work are happening today. We have resumed work on the kids' bathroom refreshment (by that I mean Geoff). These projects seem to go so much more quickly on HGTV.

We had a delightful visit with the busy Robins. Busy with those twinnies. The girls made themselves right at home here. It was so cute when they met Grady (Kane was with his other grandparents). I was holding him and they were running down the hall saying, "Baby, baby," and each holding a toy out for him. He was wary for a bit, but got soon got down and off they went, the three of them crawling.

The weekend before we were in the city to go see Wicked with Grace and Dallyn. We went to the matinee then for supper In the evening, a really fun day. I really like Wicked, would see it again. We stayed at the Westin. The Street Performers Festival was on in Churchill Square  and it was so good to see downtown full of people. Breakfast on Sunday with them and Sam and Nancy and Allison. Where Sam did not mention a business trip to Chicago.

The week before that we went to the wedding of a couple who had both been reporters at the paper. Both good reporters but journalism was not for them and they both went back to university for teaching degrees. They both grew up in Rocky and the groom's father taught Anne in high school. We had a nice chat where he told me how proud he is of her. It was such a good wedding. Our fourth one this year.

Tim was home for a few days. Have talked to him a few times and it sounds as if things are going better in Mexico this time around. He knows what to expect now and it is getting busy so the days do not drag. I think Courtney is doing ok, though I am sure she has her days. She stopped by work the other day with the boys, always great to have a visit there. I love those booboos.

I find myself looking more and more forward to retirement
