Almost 6 a.m. been up since 5... Thank you, Max.
After checking up on all the blogs that I follow, I've discovered that a lot of people I follow (don't know personally) are moving. Does that bring back memories. Not all pleasant ones, I can say. I'm so glad that I'm not faced with that prospect any time soon. I never did like the act of moving. I loved being in a new apartment or house. Though now when I think about it I did act positively while moving and purged a lot of stuff so that there was room in the new place for fun new stuff on occasion. :-) Oh well I hope everyone gets settled with as little trouble as possible.
(Shhh.... I 'AM' looking forward to the day of being able to move out of this monster into something smaller and having to down size the "stuff" that is in this house. Just gives me anticipation chills just thinking about it. Oooooo.... Oh well. I know thats a long way off.)
Cooler weather on the horizon for us. Nights in the 50's and days in the 70's - low 90's. Still better than most other places in the nation. Yesterday, David felt like an evening ride for the first time in about a week with the completion of his first portion of the book. So we headed off and ended up out on Marksheffel Rd. headed north from Constitution Rd. and we had to stop and put on jackets as the temp had dropped sufficiently to start the freezing process for me. Burr... (Its August, right?) The ride was nice even though we didn't stop at Starbucks for the traditional "end of ride coffee" :-( . Everyone we've ridden with is now hooked on that last stop. Its our time to talk about the ride, hash out riding issues, ask advice, etc. And, of course, Starbucks is always glad to see our smiling faces show up at their stores. We're the envy of all who see and enjoy our company. O.k. whatever....
So as usual I'm doing a bit of surfing before everyone is up and running. Thank heavens the kids don't have conventional school today. Just testing from 2 - 3:30 and then no school tomorrow at all, for my brood.

The kiddos can vacuum and make their beds while I dust and clean windows. We have preparing to do. At least thats what I'll tell them to get better cooperation out of them. Reason...
TJ is coming for a visit. He called the other day and didn't realize that we've not spoken in almost 2 years. So glad to hear his voice and know that all is well. He and Amanda are moving to Montana and will be driving through here at the end of September. He'll be flying Helicopters for the Air Force up there. Anxious to hear how long they'll be stationed there. Offered the guest room up for their use. Hope they'll take us up on the offer. All the kids are thrilled that TJ! is coming for a visit.
