August

Ah...school will start soon. I guess that sounds awful, but the boys have had too much free time on their hands this summer. Compared to previous summers that is *great*! But, they are getting on each others nerves, and therefore mine.

But I have painted my parents' formal dining room and entryway. Six windows, primer, and three colors of paint later, their place looks clean and fresh. They are getting new flooring this week. Then they'll move their dining room furniture out of storage and into their freshly prepared dining room.

Tomorrow night I'm going to meet my blog buddy. She and I met by following one another's blogs. It's probably not novel for others, but it is for me. She & I will meet face-to-face tomorrow evening. I'm looking forward to it!

Also, my cousin, Rhonda & her husband, Keith, are currently driving back home from a trip to Mississippi where he was unanimously called to be the pastor of a church there. This has been a long time coming for them, and I am thrilled that they were patient and that God picked this church for them. I can't wait to go visit them once they are settled in and have time and energy to have us come.

Painting Mom and Dad's house has re-inspired me to get my formal dining room painted. I am about 90% finished with my clean out and reorg. of the room. Once that is done, I guess I'll buy paint and get busy.
