We're Back

I know, I know, I know...I always say we are ready to start making regular journal entries and then I disappear again. Hopefully, I mean it this time.

It has been a long, hot summer. I have complained enough about this so I won't bore anyone with more details. Trust me, for those of us that don't do to well in hot humid conditions it has been rough. Throw in a 3 week illness and Dad's unemployment spell and it has been a summer to forget.

But as things cycle, the temperatures are dropping, Dad's working again and the illness has passed. The season hasn't been a total loss. We have lot's of fun swimming, gardening, making swings, lots and lots of bug identification, thank goodness for the What's That Bug site (thanks Aunt Carla). We have had some great times with friends, caught up on some reading, finished three seasons of Little House on the Prairie and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Musa, Retta and Dad have had some marathon nights of a Playstation dirtbike game. Musa has learned that drawing and beading helps calm his head. He has made some cool necklaces and was inspired to create some different ones after attending a Native American festival.

I will be posting several entries from our summer fun, to catch up for all the ones I missed.

I am so glad to see September peeking around the corner.
