A Little of This and A Little of That

Haven’t been doing much outside – it is really hot and humid.  My rock gardens have all been weeded and I am doing my best to keeping caught up.  The grass has all been cut.  Of course, it’s almost time to cut it again.  Today I am watering trees since we haven’t had any rain for a while. 
 

The addition is at a standstill right now.  The siding is on backorder.  Should be in this week.  The drywall is up and when Kevin returns from Washington DC he will be doing the mudding, etc.  Then we can paint and put in the floor.  Brian is trying to figure out when to come back and finish the electric.  I have been busy outside picking up trash, nails and all that good stuff.  Kevin got rid of a lot of trash before he left and was able to get some grass cut and trimmed before he left. 
 

I had another reply to my classmate letters.  Received a call and talked to him for almost an hour.  It turned out we know a lot of the same people.  In fact, he may be able to help Ronnie and me with a few more names.  So, I guess I am making pretty good progress – at least with the guys.  Having a few problems with the girls since I don’t know their married names.
 

Back working on my family tree.  I  am actually working on four of them, my dad’s side, my mom’s side, Jim’s mom and Jim’s dad.  I am making the most progress on my dad’s side. 
 

I have also decided to start another project.  I am putting together a Garden Journal.  It is pictures and information about the trees I have planted and the plants/flowers I have planted.  I am making pretty good progress.  Also have an information section about the different types of fertilizers, etc.  Rita has been teaching me a lot, and I keep making notes.
 

I am also dog sitting this week.  Roscoe and Lola are both spending a lot of time in the house.  It seems they don’t like the heat either.  My biggest problem is, that for some reason, Lola has decided to eat Roscoe’s food.  I have taken to feeding them separately.  It’s really interesting.  And, of course, they both sleep with me.  I sure don’t get lonesome J

Your addition is really progressing fast. Can't wait to see with siding. Keep us posted. Also, keep up the work on the garden journal, it will come in handy next year, when you can't remember what you planted where. L. Rita
