I can't believe that it has been 2 and 1/2 months since my last post, but when I look back at my photos and my calendar I've had a very hectic 12 weeks!
Here are a few of the reasons why:
My daughter's pageant -
Memorial Day Weekend -
we installed my flag pole after almost a year in the garage.
My son's band banquet (senior year) -
& high school graduation -
 |
| the orchestra |
 |
| with the Superintendent |
 |
| with the grandparents |
 |
| I think lil' sis is going to miss him in the fall when he goes to college... |
Then we started our projects around the house:
a project that we had hoped to have done in 2 long weekends is now going on 8 weeks due to and unusually wet summer here. This past week is the first one to go more than 4 days w/o rain - it was 6 days!
 |
| digging the post holes |
 |
| this is how you adjust for the concrete when you have the hole offset. |
 |
| mixing the concrete |
 |
| tamping the concrete around the posts |
 |
| finally getting to the framework! |
 |
| putting in the support joists |
 |
| FINALLY getting to the decking... |

| even the kitty was enjoying being outside. |
Then I decided to go to school to get trained as a Nursing Assistant; 21 evening classes the entire month of July. Tonight was graduation. Whoo Hoo! Now to pass the state written & skills exam...
Oh, and how could I forget; my neice was married Memorial Day weekend, too.
My uncle married them...it was a beautiful day for them.
Now that my evening classes are done with I hope to get back on track with my posts, photos and helping both my children adjust to the next stage of their growing. It's approximately 3 weeks until my son goes to college; while it's local he'll be living on campus & his lil' sis will be adjusting to an emptier than normal house & no rides to school in the car - back to riding the bus.
Enjoy what's left of summer & save those great moments & memories with photos & then get them printed & into albums. Albums are still the best & favorite way to look at photos.
