As usual, the summer is slipping away before we know it. It seems every week is filled with activity, and lots of other things we want to do may have to be put on hold, as there is only so much time before summer ends.
We started this summer with Convention, which was very special and much needed. Then we had the family reunion in Idaho at Nat Soo Pah hot spring. We had so much fun visiting and swimming. The water was so relaxing. We all got sunburned - badly, but we were having so much fun we didn't notice until we had to leave. It took me 2 weeks to get over mine. We got to have the Moore cousins up to our place for a couple of weeks. The kids enjoyed more swimming, sitting around the firepit and going to Endicott for 4th of July fireworks! Then we went camping at Farragut State Park - more swimming (Brrrr!) and some hiking. We really enjoyed our time there.
Winston got to spend a couple of weeks at Grandma Chick's - a first for him without me there. Preston was there with him part of the time. Winston had a great time with cousin Tyra. Keaton has been visiting and working for his Uncle Paul. It sounds like things are going well for him there. He will meet up with Tom and Preston when they go on their 2nd annual float down the Deschutes River. Then he will come home with them and go with Preston to Yearbook Camp. Then it's dentist appointments and other appointments and school starts. Preston is excited to be starting his senior year. He's yearbook editor this year - and his senior project involves starting a student newspaper. He will be very busy this year. We are also looking into getting him into WSU next year. He's hoping for that. We also got the Geo fixed, so now he has a car. If all goes well, next week he'll have his driver's license (finally).
I'm still waiting to hear if I have a job this year. With the cutbacks, it's still unclear who will be going back to work at the school. Hopefully I'll find out in the next couple of weeks. Tom's keeping busy as usual. The bathroom project is done and it looks great! He's great! It's nice to have a spouse that takes my ideas and makes them reality. This post is pretty straight forward, and a little lame, but my brain is mush today. It figures, as it's one of the 'free' days without much happening. Anyway - this is what we've been up to.
