Well, here I go trying to catch you all up on a hectic summer. We have been here a little more than a year . We are set to have eight girls at a time. We have three of our original girls and we have had twenty go thru he other five spots. June was a month that we had waited for in eager anticipation. "Our First Cottage Vacation" That"s where we take our 8 girls on a week long vacation. Now, to begin with...7 days with ...9 women in...2 motel rooms ..is no vacation. I found myself checking my makeup every morning and have you ever gone to the bathroom for 6 days with your eyes closed? Nancy planned a great trip...it was very economical...the motel was being redone so it was not crowded and the pool was fine...we did alot of free stuff...went to the Alamo...the hemisphere...Oriental gardens...parks...and our pool...alot. We did the river walk and shopped...even! We had two genuine "fit" throwers so some time when you have a few hours ask and I will tell.
July was a good month for the most part...NOW!...the most part was hit by the first hurricane in 40 years. The whole place was in about 10 inches of water at one time...electricity off 5 days...lost all the food in the houses and commissary. They are still looking for the playground equipment...We had sandbags at our doors on the out side and mattresses on the inside. It was unbelievable....at least that is what they tell us. Nancy and I were in Nashville on "relief" so we missed it all. TOO BAD!
August is hot...I had another birthday but at least my kids did not surprise me this year. WHAT A DEAL!....I like it because there is light at the end of the tunnel...school starts the 25..and they are gone...yes gone to school from5:30 til 4:00...Yah--ha==ha! There is much more to tell but I will let Nancy...ask her about the two year old that stole our hearts....Y"all come see us now you hear??????
