Catching up!!!

I've caught a lot of grief this week from two of my friends for not updating our blog for 2 1/2 months!! Guess I have had end of school burn out but here it is, better late than never. My Amarillo buddy, Donna Phipps, is here visiting and painting at the Art Foundation in Ingram and it's been great having her here! She has been braving South Central Texas heat with no A/C (except at night). It has really been on the cool side, particularly today, since we keep getting rain and rain and rain! Our A/C has gone out and can be fixed to the tune of $6800.00!!! We are considering doing without this summer.
Katie leaves for Camp Honey Creek for Girls in Hunt on July 4th. She has informed me that she thinks I miss her more than she misses me!!! Friends have asked what I will do without her for a month and I have told them, "Anything I want!" That sounds harsh but actually, I am the first one in the gate when they allow parents to visit. They have a web site where they post pictures and information at least weekly and I have to admit to checking it once (or TWICE??!!) a day to see pictures of Katie while she is gone. Hmmmm, guess she is right!
Paul is busy with his new business, Rejuvenation Construction. He and his partner have several bids they have gotten the go ahead on so they will be busy for the rest of the summer.
I've slept late and traveled to Houston for my last Special Quest visits. The SQ grant is over and I mailed my last reports in today. I will miss the friends I have made through the five years we have worked together and hope we can reunion sometime in the Fall. I also have taken a part time job at our local hospital. I am working 3-11 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday nights. It has been an interesting learning experience and the benefits are good. I do need to look up all of the doctor's kindergarten and first grade teachers however and talk to them about their HANDWRITING!!! The medical terminology is bad enough without having to decifer it in scribble. Well, better close! It is late (or early) depending on whether or not you are a half full or half empty type of person. In any case, I'm going to have trouble getting up tomorrow. Everyone take care and let me hear from you!
