Aunt Shelia came to visit!

and we had a great time together!
She brought Iowa geods to bust open
They played "Mary Memory"
More geo busting
We made goo and had a lot of fun with it.

Thanks, Le-Le, for making the trip. We really enjoyed having you here!

While Matt's at the Boy Scout Jamboree,

we are having a demo/redo party here at the house. Can't give details because it's a surprise to Matt, but later I'll have a complete recap.

Isn't it just too funny that Matt is at Boy Scout Camp??? American Water is providing water and wastewater services for 35,000 boys at Fort AP Hill in Virginia. They actually thought he would stay in a tent--but that idea got nixed pretty quickly and the corporate staff have RVs now. Sounds like a pretty intense time--I'm glad to be here rather than there. You know, 35,000 boy scouts he is not responsible for---4 kids I alone am responsible for.......sounds about equal to me.

Took a picture for you all yesterday; it was

on our deck at 6:30pm.

Weather guy said it was hotter today but we wouldn't know--

we didn't go out!

2 days down; 12 to go.
