Seems like we’ve been running ourselves to death the last few months. We can’t seem to catch up long enough to stop and ‘catch up’! I have to admit that I like to be busy, and it seems that I actually get more done the more I have to do. But once in awhile a little r&r would be appreciated!!!

We had an uneventful 4th this year. We did visit with some of our dear ones, but other than that, no excitement. I worked most of the weekend on projects for my freelance job, and before I knew it, here came Monday!

We are keeping two of our grandchildren this week while their parents slip away for a short vacation before school starts. You know how there is no time to do much of anything once the kids are back in classes.

I always love to have the kids here, and we have already jumped into the pool for a brief game of marco polo and did some diving for water toys. It has turned a bit cooler here since last week, and our skin had goose bumps from the cool wind. We were happy to dry off and come back inside for dinner.

Speaking of food. One fun thing about the kids coming is that’s all the excuse I need to buy all the bad stuff I shouldn’t be eating. They love it and so do we. So for this one week we will once again be eating lots of sweet treats and mac ‘n cheese and pizza—yummy! Tomorrow we are going to make S’mores. I can hardly wait!

Guess I should get to bed myself as the little ones will be up with the sun tomorrow and if they aren’t sleeping, no one is sleeping! Goodnight!
