Where Did the Time Go?

I have been remiss in posting. I am embarrassed, ashamed . . . and now I am over it. We have been busy around here. The girls finished their semester of college and are now in Rome, GA working camp (Morgan at Winshape) and in Glorieta, NM (Shelbi working FUGE). It was nice to have them home for about 2.5 hours. (slight exaggeration)

My dad came to visit last week and we enjoyed him being here. He and the cicadas hit about the same time and both made a lot of noise. We welcomed Dad, not so much the cicadas. If you are unfamiliar with cicadas, google it and we have the 13 year kind hanging around. Loud, everywhere, and creepy. There are millions of these things. They show up, breed and die. Turn on your weed eater and they swarm. Morgan is not a fan.

I have been traveling to FL, LA, and various other locales. None of them exotic although I did get to spend a little time on the beach last week in FL. The knees are recovering well. I have become a bike rider, elliptical beast and stationary bike riding dude too. I am to begin running some in the next couple of days. Starting slow and building up. Hope to make it around the block in one continuous run by the end of September ;-).

Sondra has about two weeks left of school and then she gets about 5 weeks off. She is planning on meeting me in NM in a couple of weeks to hang out some with Shelbi and to eat wonderful New Mexican food.

Sondra's mom is the real hero of the family right now. She has been volunteering in the clean up process in Joplin, MO. The tornado that blew through there a week ago Sunday was devastating. Joyce is a bright spot to many in that area who have suffered so much.

Work is good. Play is good. God is always good. I will do better in posting to this blog.
