Slacking

Wow, I can't believe it has been a month since my last post. Time seems to be moving pretty rapidly. I don't know what I have been doing that I haven't posted, just staying busy I guess. Gene finished the deck except for the railing which we hope to get up this weekend if the weather will cooperates.

I have been painting the library all week. I really have to be in the mood to paint and I sure don't like to do it, but it has to be done. It is going to take two coats which only makes it more work, but considering that it hasn't been painted in over 20 years, it was past due. It took me almost 2 days to just get the books out of the bookshelves so that I could move them away from the wall. One bookcase is full of encyclopedia's which no one uses anymore and I wanted to just throw them away; but Gene said absolutely not! Another bookcase is full of National Geographic magazines that date back to the 1930's. They are really neat and I won't throw them away. Hopefully I will get the room finished next week. I think that after I get the room put back together that I might move my sewing machine out there and make that my craft room. Right now my sewing is done on the third floor and it gets hot up there in the summer even though it has air conditioning; but that's just a thought in the works..I haven't really decided.

Mother and Daddy are about the same, although mentally mother seems to be loosing it pretty rapidly. Mother can no longer read, but she is starting to participate in the activities without me taking her. I was surprised today when she actually remembered going to play wheel of fortune this morning! Daddy is eating really good, so that sure makes me happy.

My little great nephew is sure growing fast. Here he is all ready for his beach vacation...looking good K-Man

I saw these flowers at Garden Ridge and they reminded me of the huge beautiful sunflowers that my mother-in-law would grow around her garden. She grew the largest sunflowers I have ever seen! So, I bought them and took them to the cemetery. I think she would approve.

Lastly, here are a few pics of the kids in the swimming pool at the hotel. Sorry about the quality, but I took these with my phone.

They sure love to swim and I love to watch them swim......I just love to watch them period...
