my son

My son has returned from Afghanistian!!!  Safe and sound!

Hurray !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son is back in the US.  He has arrived back in Texas from Afghanistian.  His second tour is now complete!  He is safe and sound!

Better yet, I get to see him as soon as re-intergration is complete.

I did get a photo of my July TUSAL but it's still in the camera.  As well as photos of my grandson's first haircut.  He is almost two (another month) and with a family wedding coming up, mom decided it was time for the curls to go.  Then she was quietly crying over the curls during the haircut.  The grandson still has curl to his hair, but now it is cut more like a boy than a girl.

They grow so fast.  It seems like it was just yesterday when my son had to get his curls trimmed.  These days he wears it so short you would never know it was blond or he once had curl.

Busy

I've been quite busy lately.  Between researching genealogy for myself and others, re-writing class instructions, and designing a new project and trying to stay cool, I'm tired!

Life has been hetic and doesn't look like it will slow down for awhile.  Be patient and I'll be be back more or less on a normal schedule soon.

wordless wednesday

Somewhere in there is my son

drought

Due to the severe drought, my county has now undergone a watering ban.  All those "lovely" 100+ plus days.   We actually "cooled"" down to the 90's for the past couple of days but still no rain in sight.  For the vast majority, crops look more burnt than anything else.  Some crops are just non-exisent.  I can just imagine what this will do to the grocery bills. 

It also certainly makes me wonder about the upcoming winter.  Will it be as abnormal?
