On Monday, Luke started swimming lessons at the local YMCA. It is Monday – Thursday every night for two weeks. He has really enjoyed them so far! (Of course, he wears Spiderman goggles and matching swim trunks.) I have never been much of a swimmer. I can swim enough to not drown but that’s about ...…
A couple of months ago I posted about some of the plants we had started in pots outside. John planted a two pots of tomatoes and one of peppers. As a science experiment, Luke took some dried black eyed peas, let them soak in a paper towel in a glass and then transplanted them to ...…

Today’s weather is going to give me an anxiety attack. I hate storms and it’s been non-stop since 2:00 this afternoon. (Right now it’s after 9!)

Today we were celebrating that John passed his real estate licensing exam! Yay!! It feels like forever since he started this process although it’s only been about 2 months. He took the 60 hour course, had to get certification for it, did a background check and application. After all that he was able to schedule ...…
