Summer

I'm not sure where this summer has gone. It seems like just a week ago I was picking the Grand kids up from their last day of school and tomorrow I'll be helping get them ready to start school next week. That means meeting Chely in Springfield and school shopping with three kids on the last Saturday before most schools start. Wow, are we gluttons for punishment? I asked Chely to have a list of the clothes that they need plus their school supply lists. Frankly, I'm just hoping to survive the day without going postal on someone. (Hopefully you NSA people reading this know I'm just kidding about that last statement.)

On another note. We have been having A LOT of rain. So much that I44 which runs from Springfield to St. Louis has been closed on a couple different days. Luckily, that's not my travel route. On the upside it's been great for our garden this year. I have a ton of green beans to deal with at some point today. I freeze them so it's just getting them washed and the ends snapped.

I have some other news but I feel like it deserves it's own post so I will save it for another day. Besides I'm still kind of getting used to it myself so I might need to digest it some more before I share. It's nothing bad, actually it's good news. And no, I'm not going to be Nana again (that I know of anyway) and it has nothing directly to do with Doyle or Brad although it does affect them. More to come on that.
