CLEAR!!!

Indeed I think we are finally clear of the yucks! Abbie has been back to her normal antics the past couple of days...scavaging for food in whatever places that she can. Some days I think she's learned all her tricks from our dog!

So, tonight begins the season of Sr. Saints...and a lot of overtime for my hubby! Unfortunately, no students applied to stay behind and work with him this Summer, so he's going to be doing a majority of the job himself...this is going to be an interesting ride, lemme tell ya! Jonathan has said that he's going to try to come over and help some in the evenings...God bless that boy!!!! :)

Emotionally, I've been struggling a little with the upcoming Sr. Saints events. My Grandparents have been coming down for the festivities for about 6 years I think. The kids and I would always go up in the evenings during the Ice Cream Social part and visit with them, and then go over to the dorms and visit while Granddad played cards with his buddies. It was always fun, and gave us time that we wouldn't necessarily normally have for them to see the kids. Grandma has decided not to come this year though. It might be because Granddad's not here to go now, and it could be that her body just doesn't feel up to it any more. Whatever the reason, it's another of those emotional hurdles for me to cross this year. And I'd say it is for her too. I'm not sure when their group from Shivley is coming this year, I may try to go up and see some of their friends that will be here though. They are such a fun bunch, and always enjoy seeing the kids!

Anyhow...short blogging for today! I've got some things I need to achieve before the day is gone!
