The family left Thursday and spent the weekend in Virginia. Brad was busy hanging doors and I was busy putting the new bedrooms together getting ready for all my family to visit soon. It was warm in the mountains but there was always a nice breeze. Olivia and I came home early Sunday morning for her to work at 11:00 and Brad and Lyndsey followed later in the afternoon.
Sandi, the dog, has good days and bad days. She is in kidney failure and we just don't know how long she will be with us. She has been good taking her three medications and they seem to be helping her feel better. We go later this week for more blood work.
Well, today was the day that Lyndsey couldn't wait for - her braces came off! She looks great and has a sparkly smile. Photos to be posted later; my camera battery is dead.

Monday Morning
Good Morning!
HOT, HOT, HOT!!!! That was the weekends weather, air conditioning is a great thing.
Well I have to say that Lyndsey's entrepreneurial skills are impressive. She decided to have a yard sale, so she organized her items, priced them all with color coded stickers and created a master list for display of colors equal price. She prepared on Friday by making signs and putting them around the neighborhood and set up tables with items in the garage to be ready for those early shoppers. Lyndsey also had bottled water, soda, and popsicles to help beat the heat. Six o'clock comes early but up she got and started pulling out her items and hanging her price lists. Seven o'clock and shopping started! The day was HOT, but she persevered and finished up the morning by packing up the remaining items, taking down her signs, and making a delivery to Goodwill. All in all a great day for her, she is now $102 richer and wants to start shopping for decor for her bedroom.
Happy Father's Day to all our special fathers in our lives!

Getting Started
Hi Everyone!
I have entered the age of technology and have created my very first blog. I still refuse to make a facebook or myspace account. My hope with this blog is that I will be able to communicate with family and friends; especially those that I haven't spoken with or have seen in years.
Summer is here and the girls have been out of school for a week and I'm counting the days until school starts! Olivia and Lyndsey were busy this week volunteering at Vacation Bible School at our church. They had a great time and enjoyed the children; they even made some babysitting contacts.
Olivia has also been working at a retirement home in the diningroom. She enjoys talking to the older folks; but especially likes the paycheck. Lyndsey was busy this afternoon making signs and setting up for her own yard sale tomorrow. She is determined to redecorate her bedroom and in order to accomplish that she needs some money.
Brad continues to work hard at IBM. He's off for the weekend to Virginia at our mountain house. He plans on finishing the fourth bedroom so each of the girls will have there own bedroom downstairs. I hope that he takes some well deserved rest and relaxation.
What have I been up to lately. My preschool has been out for several weeks and I enjoyed the quiet house while the girls were still in school. I have been working outside in the yard while the weather has been great; today not so good 100 degrees! I have also enjoyed scouring the thrift stores for that special treasure.
I hope you enjoy reading our family blog and let me know what you think.
