June

Oh, my!  June is almost over already!  June has been a very stressful month.  We're busy, busy, busy!  We are dealing with the flooding of the Missouri River.  Click here to see photos I've taken of the progression of the flood near our home.  Our home is not in danger of flooding but our route to get in and out of Ponca Hills has changed.  It's a very stressful time at work, too, because they are remodeling and right now, it seems like the ENTIRE dealership is having something done to it. And tomorrow it's supposed to be 100 degrees or more.  Ick.  We are also working on several things that we hope to get done (or need to get done) before we go on our cruise in a few weeks.  Wow!  Can life get any busier?

Tony is working on improvements to the two-car garage (i.e. putting cement block underneath the plate that was built directly onto the cement slab and has rotted away over the years) and then it's my job to paint it once he gets the siding put back on.  A lot of the siding has rotted, too, so it's pretty much all new siding, too.  AND when it was built tar paper was put over the studs and then the siding -- no OSB board.  SO he's putting OSB board, house wrap and THEN siding up.  When it gets done (which I hope is soon) it will be so much better and stronger!

I had my 30-year class reunion.  Only 10 of us were there but it was good to see people again.  Here's a couple pictures.

And we had a Father's Day BBQ at our house.  We prepared for WAY more people than came so we had some friends over last Friday evening to help us eat more of the meat.

Meighan and I dowsed ourselves with Off last night and went out and picked green beans.  We got a pretty good amount so I'm sure I'll now ALSO have to find time to can some of them!

Other than that, we have quite a bit we want to get accomplished and we are feeling overwhelmed with the little time we think we have to get it done.  Can't wait to relax a bit on the cruise!
