Catching Up

It is now getting warmer. Temperatures are consistently above 100 degrees, and we are starting to use the pool.

The boys have finished school. Ben ended his year with a 4.0 and Zach with a 3.5/4.0. The both worked hard. We attended the moving up ceremony for Zach from 8th grade to high school. He has a strong desire to be an engineer and to go to a university in the mid-west.

Ben is with two of his friends on a camping trip up north.

I’m looking forward to hearing about Tim’s house hunting efforts. We believe this is the right thing for him, and will provide an exciting new chapter to his life.

My small garden continues to flourish. I have a garden hose that sprays a mist over the tomatoes, herbs, squash, and peppers.

I had my annual physical and also went to the dentist last week. I still struggle with high cholesterol but I’m otherwise OK. No real problems with my teeth, either.

Work is beginning on our kitchen and bathroom. We may be living in hotels and also at our timeshare for the next several weeks, although our mailing address will remain the same. Kitty of course will have to live in the house during the construction process.
