HELLO!

Things are humming right along here. You wouldn’t think late August would be so busy, but it is!

We’re going to have a fence installed in our back yard. That involved paperwork, applications and meetings with the fence company. Our plan was approved by the ARB and the deposit has been paid to the builders, so now it’s just a matter of a couple weeks before we come up on their schedule.

Albert, the cabinet maker, says our cabinets/shelves are built and he came by with stain samples for us to look over. So that project is at the stage where we just wait until Albert is all done and ready to come install those.

Golfer and I have been investigating and talking with our professional help and discussing retirement. Golfer is ready, things are looking pretty good. Watch for an announcement on that soon.

Golfer and I are getting ready for vacation. He will be playing in the large amateur championship in Myrtle Beach next week. After we return he will be off work a couple weeks to recuperate from some surgery on his hand that is scheduled a few days after our return.

Since he will be basically “one-handed” for a couple months, we’ve been busy getting some odds and ends done around the house and in the yard.

It’s been HOT here in Virginia and there have been frequent storms. We have been lucky and have not been in the areas hit with the flooding.

Nurse J and CableGuy have been busy doing some work on their house. The front is looking nice. We haven’t seen the inside work yet; it’s still in progress. They found someone to work on their backyard and there is a mountain (!) of bagged debris waiting for pick up! BeyB starts Middle School the day after Labor Day.

Bikini says things are going well with them. Everyone is busy and the kids have adjusted well to the new school year and daycare year.

So that’s about it from here. Life goes on, time flies, and all that sort of thing! Stay safe! I’ll think of you all while I’m sitting on the beach looking at the waves!
