What a week
Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon have all passed away this past week. Farrah and Michael in the same day. I was totally shocked about Michael, but now it sort of doesn't surprise me so much as he has been on a downhill spiral for years now and looked just awful. I'm sure it was drug related, time will tell. Poor Farrah finally succumed to her cancer, she put up quite a fight though and I had seen her documentary on her journey with this dreaded disease just a few weeks ago.
The weather stinks! The humidity has arrived and we've been running the A/C quite a bit. Every day it rains or gets to looking like it's going to rain, then it clears for a bit and then back to clouds. We've had a few thunder boomers pass through, but nothing too bad yet.
Hannah was sick with a stomach bug yesterday and spent the day on the couch and didn't go to the campground as planned. She did go today though and played with Shayla til around supper time.
Devon has been running the roads and decided to just not come home last night from work til I called looking for her at 3:30 this morning! She certainly knows how to push her luck with me that is for sure. Dear God give me the grace to endure with my sanity intact this next full year! She did manage to pull off a pretty good end of the year report card though, but it's the company she keeps that's getting her into these tight spots with Mama! She knows better, it's just a matter of how far she is going to push me...
There was a suicide this past week too. David Willis. His entire family is realing and understandable so. I ran into Sherrie at RJ's yesterday after work and she said Caitlyn is doing ok. Lots of troubling stuff in that family and now this...it's becoming such a sad sad world --- no it IS such a sad sad world...
I can't believe the 4th of July is nearly upon us. We plan to go to the parade and then up to the campground to spend some time with friends and maybe overnight in our new tent. I need to get that out tomorrow and sew it!
Otherwise the summer has started off not so bad. Our gardens our growing and the flowers look nice. Tomorrow after my car appt I need to weed the veggie garden some and plant the girl's sunflower seeds up there.
It's going to go by fast though...this summer time of ours!

Summer is officially here!
So June has turned out to be pretty much rainy as usual! A few thunder storms have rolled through and a few nice sunny days too. The humidity so far hasn't been too bad. We do have the A/C in our room and Andy tends to use it at night. I have three different nightgowns hanging on the bathroom door as each night tends to be a little different in temperature.
I had yesterday off and this weekend and it's been very relaxing and lazy! Andy finished fixing up the porch and I've been puttering out there putting things away and throwing stuff out as well! Always so much clutter!! I've also tackled my upstairs desk, UGH!!! Too much junk up there to even begin, but I made somewhat of a dent in it all.
Devon had her four HUGE wisdom teeth out yesterday and she's been laying low all weekend. She has some big holes in her head and her mouth is quite sore, but they all came out fairly easy...well I guess they did anyway. Originally the doctor had thought it was going to be worse, but come to find out they had read the WRONG x-rays and he told me this after the surgery and said not to worry if the insurance didn't pay it all as it was their error and they would write off the amount not covered. So, good enough. Her teeth weren't as bad and I won't have to pay extra either way.
Tomorrow is father's day and the first day of summer and the longest day of the year! I'd like to go out on the motor boat, but it will depend on the weather. Andy and Hannah went fishing with it this afternoon and went all over the lake to Newport and Prouty Beach.
Last week a wretched little bat found his way into Devon's room in the middle of the night as her top window wasn't locked and she was in our room around 1 am screaming about it! Turned out he spent the night in her room with her and she kept the light on! The next night around dinner time she ventured back in there and saw him clinging to her ceiling just above her bed so Andy caught him in his fishing net and set him free. UGH UGH!!! That is like the 4th bat in this house in 11 years! Buggers!
Well, here's to a nice Father's Day to everyone and may the sun shine just a little! God Bless.
