This has definitely NOT been our year when it comes to electronic gadgets or equipment....! Let's see....first it was the digital camera going for "a swim" in the Doe River....then it was the broadband "card" that came apart (thankfully, that was one piece of equipment I DID get insurance for and it has now been replaced)....and now, it's my replacement camera that is giving me a headache. Or rather, the fact that it did NOT make it back into my purse when we were having dinner with Jon Thursday night, and apparently was "acquired" by someone other than myself! Oh, well.....lessons learned, I guess...

So needless to say, there are no exciting (or even boring) photos to post right now.....maybe later this week.

It has been a busy week, tho'. Willie continued to help my brother Ray with "refurbishment" of his pontoon boat (which BTW is now back in the water.....think we'll get a ride on the lake this week?)...built a cross for the sanctuary here at Covenant Fellowship, helped mow the expansive property here...and went fly-fishing with Rick again. This time was different...he caught a brown trout!

I spent a good part of the week either spending time with Mom and Dad, or doing things to help Mom and Dad....we are trying to do some things in their room to make it feel less "institutional" and more homey. We are making progress....only have two more weeks in which to get "things done", so have to get myself in gear and get going!

My brother Tim and his wife Robin made a quick trip over from Raleigh, NC and were a great help in getting some things set up for Mom and Dad. Plus, it was really nice to see them after such a long time! And I know their visit meant a lot to Mom and Dad.

We need to send out belated birthday wishes to Kaila, our granddaughter, who turned five yesterday..........
.....and I think I forgot to send out wishes to our grandson, Brandon, who also turned five on July 9th!
Man, those kids just keep growing up! Seems like just yesterday....well, not quite, but getting close....when the kids were that age. Now, we're talking grandkids.....gotta' love 'em...they can either keep you young, or make you feel old....it's your choice. I choose young!!
