Much to do about nothing…

…so you know we’re not at the lake.

But we’ve had lots of fun there this summer.  Two days at the lake are enough to make me want two days at home to recover, sleep in my own bed, not deal with sand and not have as many stinky dirty clothes to wash.

Big news at our house this week…..Baby girl got a new (handed down) bike with training wheels and she’s riding away.  I’ve not taken any pictures of her yet.  The heat outside has been horrible and they usually ride in the evenings when my broken foot has begun to throb.

The older boys have begun a few short non-practices as they call them.  I think it’s just an excuse to get together and throw the football.  But before long I’ll be sweating while I watch them play.  Come Fall Come!

What began as beautiful spring grass that needed to be cut almost every other day has turned into nongrass with brown spot.  It happens every year.

The crepe myrtles haven’t bloomed yet.  We have late bloomers.

My stitches are out.  I’m still wearing what we call my Darth Vader boot.  Two more weeks of that and then back for another xray.  My foot still swells a lot and there is no walking without the boot.  Sometimes on my heel a bit but that won’t carry me far.

God continues to bless our family as we have been able to take advantage of one part of the economic stimulus package……a 35% Cobra payment.  Yippee!!  All the rest is scary but I’ll take what I can.

More later from the sunny and hot south.
