Sprinkler System

Yippee . . . our sprinkler system is installed and working! It's great having the lawn watered at night and I don't have to move hoses. Now we are just waiting for the grass to green up again. We are deciding whether or not to put up a vinyl fence. We got the bid back and WOW - vinyl is really expensive. The fence would give us privacy and would keep Snuggles at home and it would increase the value of our home.

It's good to hear from Brantley. He needs to know how to get on the blog so that he can keep in touch with everyone during his mission!

Stephen has a new position with Basic American Foods - he is now part of the maintenance department and will be driving the wheel loader. He's being trained on it now and will also help the mechanics with the boilers. Still rotating shift work but he'll get a chance to be outdoors more and hopefully not as stressful as where he was before.

Stephen and I are traveling to McCall, ID to attend his parents' 50th wedding anniversary- family reunion. We will be gone July 29-31. Then we will be gone again Aug 8-12 to travel to Fort Collins, CO because Stephen's daughter, Rachel, will be there competing with her ice skating. We are looking forward to spending some time with her. I will also see Lucinda and the baby when I am there.

Ryleigh is turning 2 !!!!! next month. I can hardly believe it. She got her finger caught in the door at Bree's apartment. Enough times of that and maybe she'll quit playing with doors.

Gotta go - I send my love to everyone!!! I am so proud of each of you and what you are accomplishing!

Love, Mom
