What Are We Up To...

Last week was Talon's 7th performance with he Clinton County Youth Theater.  He played Liver Lips Louie, in "Guys & Dolls".  As usual, they did AWESOME!!!  I would love to show some pictures, but...some how the 100+ pictures that I took, got deleted : (  I do have a few but I'm hoping to get some from some of the other parents.  --This week we've had a beautiful week, God has given us lots of sunshine, but decided to give us a break from the humidity.  I've enjoyed having the air off and the windows open, it has been that nice.  The boys (Jerry too) have been working really hard on cleaning up the yard and it is looking very nice.  They have cut down trees, cleared tall grassy areas and cleaned up some junk that has accumulated around the back barn.  It looks so nice, I love looking out my kitchen window and seeing a cleaned up yard --thanks guys!!  --Kallee enjoyed a class at the library this week and her and Keegan are still working hard on earning points towards prizes for the Summer Reading Program.  Only 3 more book reports and they will have their Indiana Beach tickets earned, YEA!!!  --I've enjoyed a pretty lazy week, I'm sure my hubby would say--"don't you enjoy those kind of weeks every week", he's such a gem, LOL!  Speaking of my hubby, we celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary this week.  I can't believe in 2 years from now, I will be married longer than I was single ---where did that time go?!?  He took me to my favorite restaurant for lunch, Red Lobster, and it was so good!  He wanted to know what I wanted as an anniversary gift and since I had bought some scrapbook stuff earlier this week, I told him he "technically" already had bought me something! : )  I figured why waste money on something that I really don't need, especially since we are working really hard paying down on the debt that we owe.  Being self-employed and then without a job for 7 months, it just doesn't help the bank account any so...such as life! -- I've been scrappin' a little this week, it doesn't seem like I get much done, but at least 6 more pages are done so I guess that's better than nothing.  I look forward to scrappin' with "the girls" next week, it has been two weeks since we've gotten together, so I'm itching to meet with them.  None of us ever get much done, but it is fun just getting together with my friends and accomplishing at least a little. : )  --Well we are off to IL tomorrow, we are going to visit my niece Megan and her family for the 4th!  She invited us last week and since we didn't really have any plans, we said sure.  We are taking our tent so Jerry and the boys can sleep outside and us girls plan on sleeping in comfort---inside, ha!  I'm just NOT a nature girl and I don't enjoy camping, well at least not in a tent.  I would like to wish you all a very Happy 4th and hope you have a great and safe day tomorrow!
