Share your good news! The house we are buying has a stackable washer and dryer hook up in the master bathroom which we recently found out about. The laundry room is downstairs and I was so worried about carrying my laundry up and down a flight of stairs. I can't walk down stairs anymore without saying a prayer and using both hands to hold onto the banister.
Oh and we got our first ripe tomato from the garden last night! Jen

My oldest son is going to work and my husband and youngest son are at the lake for the day. Woot! All of my friends are at the midway part of their summer vacation (teachers) and are now counting down to go back. I am not. I retired in May. HAve no idea what I will do since I am just 50. Looking forward to finding that out. It isn't raining here today. It is 10:35 and getting out of bed is optional.

DH has an interview for a better job with a more stable company much closer to our new house! He's actually the only candidate they're considering. Fingers crossed!

I became a great-aunt last night. Well, I've always been a great aunt, but now I get the official title. My oldest niece had her first baby, a sweet little 5 lb 3 oz girl they're calling Everly.
I won't get to see her for a couple of weeks since they live in WV, but when I do, it's spoiling time!

I've been working in our tiny little 4.5 foot wide courtyard and it's looking really great. A nice deck built by my 2 wonderful grandsons and lots of potted plants down below. Life is very good.

DH was able to finally get his Kevlar vest! Soooooo happy for this. It's used but at least it's not expired.
I was able to get one part of my dental work done. Still have more stuff to get worked on but I'm a step closer to being pain free in my mouth!

We leave for a week at the beach soon. And then at the end of the end of the month, my daughter and I are going to Texas to see my sister and her family. I am excited we could arrange both trips.

I'll play! Went to the eye Dr today and my eyes have stayed the same for a good few years now. I'm still blind as a bat, but it's not progressing. I'm so blind they don't stock my Rx, other than for samples. Since they so rarely need my Rx the Dr gave me the whole box of trial lenses. That's awesome because that's a lot of money saved.

Also, I found out my S5 really is waterproof. I rarely ever get salon pedicure but today got one and dropped my phone right in that foot bath. Eeeek! But, all is fine!

MY KIDS ARE HERE! They arrived from Montana last night. It was a surprise, as I wasn't expecting them till today. In the wee hours of the morn I heard a tap tap on my bedroom window and it was my son! His gf and the little one were in the SUV in the driveway. Tears of joy for me! They all got tucked in and this morning we had a blast! You may remember that I was worrying about what to get to keep her entertained, as it's been a LONG time since I've been around a 2 year old. We blew soap bubbles (in the house played with a soft ball and the dolly I got her, played with my phone; pictures and ringtones and ate Apple Jacks! They went off to visit family then came back and went to do a bit of business, asked if I could watch her during her nap. Of course! Well, the little monkey wasn't interested in a nap so we played on my bed with lots of pillows, read a whole bunch of books, she played with my necklaces, etc. then finally conked out. I was so worried that she maybe wouldn't warm up to me or like me, but it's all good. We are having a blast. Thank you all for so many great ideas.

They have been thoroughly spoiled by their great-auntie.

Only 22 days til school is out and we get to go and live in a tent on the cliff top in Cornwall for 5 weeks. There is no electricity and just a stand pipe for water and 2 portaloos. My idea of heaven( and the kids love it too) Can't wait.

I am going to Vegas with my old boss, her boss (who my old boss used to be the boss of), and her old boss (who also used to be my boss and my old boss's boss). Sounds incestuous! Going with three fun ladies.

I am on vacation. A staycation - the first staycation we've taken in the summer in years, and I am LOVING it. There is nothing I *have* to do this week.

DH and I start a formal vacation in 10 days!! Nothing terribly fancy, but it's the first one in several years -- we've scheduled them and then canceled for work reasons many times, and BOY do we need need this! Better yet, I think we are both going to be able to relax and enjoy it. Also, on a whim I snagged dirt cheap flights to N.O. in September, so we have another vacay set for September, which I also think we're really going to get to do. I swear, we may both turn back into human beings instead of big balls of stress! THAT would be such a needed blessing! Even though the rain and the deer took all of our impatiens, the copious amount of rain (happening again now) has taken my area out of drought and the yard/gardens have never really looked better. DH and I designed and put in all of those ourselves over the last several years! Neither of us have any life-threatening or major illnesses; we have a (not leaking) roof over our heads and food upon our table; we have each other.

My son and his family are arriving from Ohio tomorrow morning. It's been two years since we've seen them in the flesh and we can't wait to wrap our arms around our grandchildren. We Skype regularly but it's not the same as the real thing! It's going to be a great 4th!!

I made it to my appt to get my facet injections, despite being caught in horrible traffic in the interstate. I then got caught behind a trash truck on a street with only 1 lane!

On Sunday we bought a new family room/kitchenette's worth of furniture and picked out a paint color. Last year we had a minor flood and this will finish off the renovations. It's going to be so pretty. First positive thing to happen here in a long time and it is making a huge difference on my psyche.

I'm taking an online class. It's so much harder than just going to class. I submitted the final assignment today. All I have left is a quiz and the final. Whoohoo!!!! Now, the bad news...my next class starts on the 8th.
