Hot! Hot! Hot!

Summer is here for sure. Today it is supposed to hit triple digits. It would be a good day to stay inside but the kids want me to run them around to various places. John wants to spend birthday money and Michael wants to help him. Davis is meeting up with a friend at the movies. I may break down and go myself. I've been interested in the "March of the Penguins" movie. It is rated G so I could take the little ones. I just love penguins. They are adorable, especially the babies.

I have an appointment with a cardiologist on Thursday as I have developed a new heart murmur. I am NOT looking forward to the visit. Hopefull it will be alright though. Most likely the murmur has developed from the radiation I had to the lung/chest area 14 years ago. But hey, I'm here today because of the treatments, and by the grace of God so be it.

I came across this picture.....

I was looking through old pictures today, scanning some that were taken before digitial and I found this, which is one of the few pictures of myself I don't mind. It is rare, so don't expect to see more pictures of me. LOL!

Our Garden

Check out our garden. Tim built this contraption and it actually works pretty well. No weeding and it cuts down on pests. Tim loves a challenge. :)

Family

On Friday we had a small family reunion with members of both sides of my parent's family. It was so good to see all our loved ones. Chuck hadn't seen some of them in about 20 years or so.

Back from the Beach

We are back from the beach and this morning I just said good-bye to my mom and dad, brother and 8 year old son. He is going to spend time with grandparents in Mississippi. It is sad but very quiet around here. We had so much fun at the beach as you can probably tell from the photos.
