Time’s going fast, it’ll be Labor Day before you know it and then the cooler weather and snow will be here. Lots going on around the World, once again if you had been in a coma for 20 years and woke up to see London burning and the stock market crashing and Texas in the middle of the worst drought in centuries, you’d think you’re watching some disaster movie. It’s hard to believe that in 2011 all this is going on. Keep saying your prayers as we’re living in fast ever changing turbulent times.<\/p>\n
Onto the day, lots of work around here. The boys chipped in cleaning up the yard while Mom did her best to keep the house from slipping into a huge mess. The oldest one sure is getting to be a big guy and a big help around here. You can almost see him maturing daily in the way he acts and the things he does. The little one is also following suit but it’s not quite as obvious as we saw the older one go through this transformation a few years ago. In any case, we’re sure proud of both boys, we must be pretty good parents!<\/p>\n
Today we’re deciding what to do, we might run out of town for a day or two to avoid the heat that is still lingering. This morning I have a lot of work to do (what’s new) and our car should be ready to pick up from the body shop. We’ve had a few instances this week where we really needed two cars but thanks to advance planning, we worked around it. We sure love our diesel truck, it’s a great vehicle to have. Thankfully we bought both our cars at zero interest. (I think no one should buy a car unless they get zero interest!)<\/p>\n
The little guy just came down and I think I hear Mom upstairs. The oldest guy has taken to sleeping in these days. We’ll need to get him to bed earlier in a week or so or break this habit as school starts a week from Monday. (we mention this a lot as we’re counting the days!)<\/p>\n
I’m trying to stay away from politics but Obama just said on the news that there’s no need to call back Congress from their summer vacation. I just don’t get this? Seems to me if you have problems as big as we have, no one gets vacation until things are fixed. If I was running the Country as a Company, things sure would be different or I’d be out of a job! Don’t bank on the government all of a sudden having a kumbaya moment, it ain’t gonna happen people! (I did that on purpose because Grandma Dixie loves it when I use proper english!)<\/p>\n
Mom’s now downstairs and it’s 7:20. Oh yeah, today is Grandpa Bob’s 82nd birthday! Yesterday Mom sent him the first 2 months of the blog as he doesn’t have a computer and has never read any of them. I would have printed out more but it took me a long time just to print the first 60 days. I did make 3 copies so we’ll have 2 left. At the end of the year I’ll be making at least 2 complete copies (1 for each boy) for them to save. I’ve asked a few of you if you wanted a copy and to my surprise, you all said no! I guess once you’ve read it, you’ve read it. I just thought it might be fun to revisit the whole year at once. But no problem, it’ll save me a ton of paper and toner. If anyone does want a copy, be sure to let us know.<\/p>\n
I think I’ll go now otherwise I’ll drift back into politics which is too depressing to even think about. Sometimes I wish we could all just go back 50 or 100 years to a time when everyone got along. Now we all know, that’ll never happen so let’s just keep plugging away trying to do the best we can. It’s not the American people who have a problem, it’s our elected officials. I believe people are generally good, it’s just that desperate times sometimes make rational people also desperate.<\/p>\n
Ok ok, I’ll stop, time for breakfast anyhow. Have a great weekend and enjoy life, it’s too short as it is, God Bless<\/p>\n
