July, already???

Wow, it's July. Weird. I think my brain is still somewhere in March. This is a picture Sam took last year at Monterey's fireworks show.

We've been pretty busy. I've had friends moving, then not moving. Several other friends with medical issues that we've been helping with meals, tending kids, etc. Trying to get Molly's wedding pictures sorted through. Grandma Bailey is here this week, as are my parents and sister and her two kids. Ry and Sue should be here before the end of the day and another sister on Thursday. I've been scrambling keeping up with normal household stuff and my job. I need a maid, but I'd be embarassed to have her come until I cleaned my house. How bizarre is that??

In other news, Amy called today. It was nice to talk to her and maybe they'll come see us on their way back from San Diego. I've always loved her sense of humor and her forthrightness. It'll be a treat to spend some time with them. I might even clean my house for their visit. Seems unlikely, however. :0)

Sam got a USB turntable for father's day, so we've been recording a bunch of our old albums to MP3 and Cd's. It's been fun listening to all this old stuff that you can't get on CD. Meg is totally fascinated with the vinyl album/turntable thing and Sam has her working on it during the day. So, she's been working on a jigsaw puzzle with Grandma Bailey while she monitors Grandma's Mario Lanza and classical records so that we can make her some CD's. She's doing a good job of entering the information, etc, so that all Sam has to do is burn the CD's. She's also enjoying playing trains with my nephew Tanner aka "The Tan Man" over at Grandma Elsberry's next door.

Well, Ry and Sue oughta be here any minute. We cleaned out the office (sort of) since Grandma Bailey is staying in the loft, and now I need to find some sheets for the airmattress.

It's going to be a party. You should come!
