HOT, Hot weather

Well, I know, that I have fallen behind on reporting, so since I am up early on this nice warm Saturday morning I though I would send out a report. The weather has been awfully hot this week and will continue into next week. I hope bu August 13th that the air is a little bit cooler outside. It would make it easier to complete the move. Everything is still on schedule, according to the realtor, so signing of papers should be August 15th.

We are progressing along slowly, I guess, but are getting things packed. The winter clothes have been taken down and are in storage. We rented a 10x10 storage unit to store STUFF in that we don't need right now and then we can slowly go through it and move it into the house box by box and not have 100 boxes sitting there looking at us, saying"Open me next, please"....

We had a nice trip to Dallas last weekend. Donna Jo and Kolby really enjoyed seeing their Daddy and getting to play with him. Of course, Kristi, was glad to see him, also...We stayed at a Hampton Inn and they had a nice breakfast each morning and a nice swimming pool. The kids swam and swam. We went to two malls on Saturday, one being the Galleria, which we used to go to when Kirk and Pat were stationed in Austin. Kristi and I reminisced a little, but couldn't remember a whole lot about what the Galleria looked like 20 years ago. Our brains aren't working as good as they used to work, especially mine. Anyway, we had a good time and enjoyed being away and were glad to get back to our traffic congestion in Benton and not the 6 lane freeway in Dallas. That is way too much traffic for me. I will take my little town of Benton any day.

Bobby and I mowed Aunt Emma's yard on Tuesday this week and guess what I found..You probably know, a little black kitten. He was half way up a tree, where I was mowing and had stopped to talk to Bobby and I went over and picked him up. When we started looking at him, he is missing a paw on the right back leg. We think he probably got hung up in a car somewhere along the way. We brought him home and he is gimping around on three legs, but does pretty good. He gets along with the two other cats very well. That is just what needed in the middle of a move is another cat, but I couldn't leave him out in the heat. The paw is healed up so it has been a few days that he has been out in the heat, trying to survive.

Well, I guess I have updated all I can update. I have the Habitat Resale people coming this morning to pick up the piano, so I guess I had better get up and get busy.

Hope everyone is doing okay. We are just tired and HOT!!!!
