What should the topic be?

There has been lots going on as of late. School finally ended, the quarter that is. I think I emerged with my 4.0 intact. I will know next week. It was a very rough quarter and I am really, really glad it is over. I don't have to go back until July ninth.....Anna and Cathrine went on a vacation with the grandparents this weekend. They took a trip to the cabin. It was weird not having them around, as we stayed behind for work. They had fun and Grandma and Grandpa made it back unscathed....We have been working, and working, and working. Things are going well.......It looks like we will be facing another damn drought year. We haven't had a decent rain in about a week in a half, and all the usual subjects are showing signs of drought stress. The back yard is looking rough as at least half of the fescue is dead, or on it's way to dying. Oh well, there is always next year. The drought has not had that much of an impact in business, but I expect it will soon. Where is the rain? Where are the "gully washers" of the old days? Who knows. I haven't been taking many pictures as of late, I have been really busy. That's about it around here, nothing really out of the ordinary. That is a good thing.

Another vacation?

Things have been hectic. No understatements. This is my last week of school for the quarter....Finals. We are planning a trip to the Smokey Mountains for the fourth and I am ready to go! I don't have much, as the week has been rather monotonous. Once school and work grant a break, I will have a more interesting post.....

I wish we were still on vacation.

I have been busy. Very busy, but who hasn't. I have posted some more pictures of our trip to Florida. Two weeks later. Between work, more work, and school I have been neglecting the Blog.......It is finals week, hell yeah. I love finals. Most of them should be easy, but they are challenging none the less. I will be very glad to finish this Spring quarter. It has been a rough one, as the classes have been running late, resulting me getting home around ten thirty or eleven. One more week. Summer quarter should be a tad easier as I am attending as a special student (I'm riding the short bus...). My instructors are allowing me to participate in class through e-mails and on line. This will be so helpful. I am close to finishing, and I have been putting off the Summer quarter for two or three years now. Going to school after working a full day with temps in the nineties, and the going to school until ten P.M. never excited me.....Speaking of the temperature it has been very hot here. It was 99 this afternoon, a good ten degrees above the average (what global warming?). It has also been on the dry side. It looks like we might be headed for another drought year. Let's hope not.....My second job has been going well, and I have a steady supply of supplemental money (to spend on the equipment that I need to do the work). Things will get better though, and I am assured I will be a millionaire in a couple of months:). Don't I wish. I should have been a doctor.......We have done some more work on the yard, and I will have some more pictures of it next week. I have refused to go out and do anything in the yard today, including taking pictures, because of this damn heat. ...I need one day off. That's it. I hope everybody has a good week.......

The Vacation

Oh boy, I wish I was at the beach.....We had a great time on vacation. It was long over due, and I can see us doing it again next year. We did all the touristy things, visited the local theme parks, went to the pier, the beach, and of course, the pool. The girls had a blast and we did too. It was an all around good time. Enough said.
