There isn't much to write about but i want to at least let everyone [all two of you] know that i am still alive and kicking. Not kicking quite as hard maybe, but still kicking. i am really liking the way the backyard is looking though i am having difficulties getting the pool balanced. The grandkids came over Saturday and though there was a bit of a green tint to the water they had fun.
Don and Kathy are leaving Wednesday to go to Delaware for a week and when they get back Kim an i are leaving next Wednesday to spend some time away at Calloway Gardens in Georgia. We are Reeeeaaalllyyy looking forward to having a few days away! The day we are leaving is also our anniversary; forty two years and going strong. After we enjoy those few days away, we start the countdown for our BIG vacation in February. We decided to go on another cruise. We love to cruise and it has been quite awhile since our last cruise.
We are going on a seven day cruise and the price is awesome. this is probably the best deal we have ever gotten. I know that i will be chomping at the bit for the next seven month, two weeks and three days. Just kidding [sort of]. We are also going out of New Orleans which means a much shorter ride back home than if we had to go out of Miami or Ft. Lauderdale.
Well that is about it. I told you there wasn't much going on and it is getting near my bed time. Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. Stay in touch, post a comment, whatever. Oh, i am also trying my hand or fingers at setting up a facebook account. I'm on there, see if you can find me. I'm looking for you.

A month inreview
Once again it has been a month since my last blog. My daughter keeps chastising me about not keeping up on my blogs, at least i know someone reads them. Well i am sitting on the patio on this Sunday night writing this blog on my laptop. It is still warm but nothing like it was a couple weeks ago. We just got back from a family gathering at Brian and Diane's. Family goes and family comes.
Michele and the kids returned home after spending about three weeks visiting with us. This week Kim's sister Colleen came for a visit from Colorado. So it goes when you live in Florida. As i wrote in the last blog, we were preparing for Michele's visit which almost didn't happen. They came, they saw, they swam they had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed having them here. They had a car while they were here so they could come and go as they wanted and didn't feel like they were imposing on anyone. Steve came down for a few days and it was great to see him also. He had never been down for a visit and i think he enjoyed himself too.
The problems i wrote about the pool in the last blog are pretty much taken care of. I finally got all of the leaks fixed and the water balance is really close. I went into the pool yesterday for the first time since having it relined. I am really not a pool, water sport person but after spending a little bit of time working outside yesterday i thought a dip in the pool would be refreshing. Kim, Colleen and i lounged around on tubes and loungers for a while and it was quite relaxing.
The last few weeks at work have been very busy. The time around July Fourth is usually quite a busy time for us and this year was no exception. It is slacking off a bit now and we should be able to catch up on some back burner projects. Don is taking time off at the end of the month which will give me more work which i don't mind at all and then when he comes back i am taking a few days off. Kim and i are going to Callaway Gardens for our anniversary. I am really looking forward to that already!
The backyard garden is really looking nice. I call it my little tropical paradise. I will try to remember to post some pictures next time. No pictures on the laptop so next time i will have to post from the PC. I had my oncology check up this week and the numbers are still good. Praise the Lord we are still in remission. That is about all for now, it is getting near my bedtime.
