Happenings

We are starting to feel settled now in our new digs.
We are loving the home and especially the pool. With the warm days and warm nights, nothing beats settling into the pool for a night's swim before bed.
DH has brought it upon himself to update the paint on the block wall in the back.
It's stucco so you can't just roll on the paint hoping it fills all the tiny little areas.
You have to have SO much patience to accomplish this task by using a brush and swirling it as you paint. We've already ruined two brushes! DH has been diligent on making sure this doesn't turn into a 6 month adventure. It is looking FANTASTIC!

Sunday, DH was at it again and was taken by surprise with Heat exhaustion. With a restless night of sleep and hydration issues, DH took his first sick day from work.
Anyone who knows DH knows that for him to take a sick day, it HAS to be bad.....

Tonight however, being hydrated with back still sun burnt, he had enough energy to "SHUCK" some bark off one of our palm trees that has been driving him mad since we moved in.

As we post the blog tonight, it is pouring down rain here as a monsoon has developed and is moving through the area..... SO far so good! :-)

We hope everyone is doing well and we miss you all!

Heat exhaustion? Holy cow, dude. Take a break now and then! That can become quite serious.

The pool area is looking good. I'm envious of that - DH and the girls would LOVE to have that here (not cleaning it of course, just entertaining and floating in it!) That's a far cry from your back patio with gazebo and a fire pit. But - it is what it is. Lots of good times were had around that pit.

DH recently returned from Ontario Canada (Goose Bay outside of Loc Soel)and was (naturally) very successful with the fishing. Good to have another round of Canadian walleye in the freezer again.

Owatonna is beginning to settle down again after our horrific headline tragedy last Thursday. Everyone who was involved has attended the debriefings and has a better understanding of the hows, whys, who's and whats...

It's enjoyable having Miss Grace back home after 2 1/2 months at boot camp. She is VERY well behaved and is a joy to walk leashless on the walking paths. Well worth the money.

T- watch it dude... don't get so involved that you end up dehydrated again. A- stay on him with the water. Looking forward to seeing more of the house.
