As the World Turns..

To sort of quote the announcer from a soap opera I used to watch a long, long time ago - "As the world turns, so do the days of our lives"  or something like that.  The gist of that is time is moving on!

The grocery stores are filled with Halloween candy.  Commercials on TV are shifting to Fall and Winter scenes.  The Hallmark store has the Christmas ornaments and cards out and on display.  It's the middle of August!

Here is Virginia it's been the hottest Summer in a long time.  It's just sapping everyone's energy and motivation.  We've had some occasional rains and storms and so far our yard is looking good.  Of course, the sprinkler system helps with that even if it does bring a higher water bill.

Golfer and I are in the midst of having a generator installed so we will be ready for our next big storm or power event.  Peace of mind!  We have plans to power wash the siding and clean the windows, but the heat has been pushing that to later.

The furry kids are all doing well.  The little ones are getting bigger.  When they first came home I could lift one of them in one hand.  Have to use two hands now!  One of their new favorite activities is unrolling and shredding the paper towels in the kitchen!  They've checked out the toilet paper, but evidently it isn't as much fun.

School is going well for Boxer and Bloomer and they are adjusting to homework.  BeyB has a couple weeks yet before high school starts. 

Political ads are increasing.  I find most of them annoying.  I think they should all adhere to the truth in advertising method.

So, life moves on.  All is well with us.  I hope the same for  you.  Stay safe!
