Summer's glow

Pretty cool, huh, Jer??

Been having some fine days. And by this I mean, mild temps and NO wind (a rarity for Marshall). So we've had plenty of opportunity to sit around the firepit in the yard on some of these nites to enjoy the company of family and friends and, of course, consume copious amounts of s'mores!

Have spent a lot of time landscaping thus far this summer. The yard is looking HEAPS better! After I did up the existing beds, I added 3 more. Which are just now ready for tilling after applying Killzall :) I finish up the season at the greehouse this weekend. It's been fun!

Michaela is finishing up Driver's Ed!!! She survived! Now, this is only the classroom portion. Upon her turning 15 in August, I have to sign her up for 'behind the wheel'.

Doug was here visiting for a couple weeks. We all enjoyed that! Thanks again to him for the several projects he helped me with!! Kids are looking forward to their trip to Washington in July.

Next week we'll head out to MT to visit my dad. I haven't been home in two years. Hard to believe! The friends are excited we're coming too. And of course, this will be the first time Dad meets Todd LOLOL The trip will be action packed and too short I am sure!

Todd got his moveable brace on. That's going pretty well. Certainly easier to deal with than the splint.

Last night at trap, I shot an 18 and a 17. My highest scores ever! Thanks to Doc Bruns for lending me his Ruger. It's AMAZING. For the first time ever, I think I knew what it was like to truly love a gun. Now I'm set on saving money to buy it as he offered to sell it to me!!! And of course, it's not cheap.

The marriage blessing is 79 days away. There is still much to be done. I'm trying not to freak, somehow, it will all work out!

My friend, Kim, has finished chemo!!! YIPPEE!!! Now it's on to 33 rounds of radiation. Home stretch Kimmy!
