Ahem-Alive and well!

We have had a very productive summer so far and every time that happens I think the next summer will be more relaxed and laid back and each time I am wrong. But we all live in hope, don't we?
I looked at the week ahead calendar yesterday and the entire week is free, except for Thursday nights trivia, of course! It will magically fill up as it always does.
We have had a tiny sip of rain the past two days. I do mean tiny as the rain gauge is holding 1/10th after both "rains". We desperately need the rain. We let the yard go dormant so it hasn't needed mowing most of the summer and it is very brown and crispy.
Friends Brian and Mary Carlson were here over the weekend. Mary Ellen (Minnehan) Carlson was a classmate of Butch's. We enjoy their company and touch base with them a couple times each winter as they also go to Texas. We hope they will stop again sometime. Our second RV site has had more use this summer than ever and that is what we had in mind from the beginning.

Butch is headed to Boone this morning to play golf with Jason. I have hopes of getting to some garage projects. Sanding and painting.
