Like it says above, that's about all that's been going on. Getting into a routine now with the full time work. Stacy's father went to visit friends in Kansas giving me and Stacy a nice little "staycation" ( I know, I know, it's a new buzz word!) with him away for 10 days. This weekend we're trekking to the Seattle area to visit and see brother Mike's new house that's 'in the city'. He had a real nice house out in Oak Harbor last time. We're hoping his new one is just a nice, sure looks like it is in the photos we saw. Just no ocean view anymore.
Labor day weekend Stacy and I will be spending a few days down in Northern California to help my other brother and sister take care of moms two 20 X 20 storage rooms. With most of that floor to ceiling stuff, it's been locked away like the Spruce Goose was for over a decade. No one's been out very often. In early July even mom said she hadn't been out to storage facility in about two years, and although mom was depressed about what to do with all her 'stuff', by the time she'd realized how much she'd been spending to keep it locked away all these years she didn't have the physical ability to deal with it any more. Oh well, we'll see what we can accomplish in a few days.
Last time we'd talked with Sean he was working swing shifts again. He seemed to be liking the hours, but didn't sound to happy overall. Maybe it's just the summer heat and crowds in San Diego.
Laura was trying for a "Parking Enforcement Officer" (Meter Maid) position. While she likes her present job, she's not really happy about her 6 and half day work schedules. Never two days off together and almost nightly overtime. She's just getting worn out. It's due to three people leaving from her department at the beginning of summer and her local government agency being a local government agency, they have no time table to fill those positions. She just wants more regular hours and days. We hope she gets the job.
We haven't heard from Sandy in a couple of weeks. She's probably on her international travels she said were coming up. A trip to Hong Kong and a trip to India. Hope she's having an adventure!
For us only a month or so left of summerish weather. It's actually supposed to get down right hot for the next five to seven days, with the hottest days being this Friday and Saturday (even in Seattle, of course!). We can't really complain this summer. It's been noticeably cooler than last summer. Been pretty dry, but no where near as hot as it was in 2007.
Last summer Stacy was on graveyards all summer long. It's been really nice that she'll never have to work that shift ever again!
Well that will bring all who read this all up to date on how every things going with us. So with the 60's on 6 on XM playing the long version of the Doors- Light my Fire, I'll call it quits for now. Type later, Tad.
