Where has July went?

I know i haven’t posted in a couple of weeks but sometimes life get’s in our way of having too much fun.  I can not believe that July is gone and it’s August already.  Where has our summer gone?  Most of my time is being spent being a mother and grandmother.  Our youngest son and his future wife has been coming to visit and we’ve been discussing future wedding plans.  I’m not sure if I have told you but our youngest son is getting married July 6th of 2013.  Our oldest son is still going through some personal issues and so as parents we are trying to be here and help him and the grand kids through a ruff time in their lives right now.  Our oldest son has moved back in with us until he can get things straightened out in his life. 

I’m back to doing a bit of volunteering.  Here at Lake Willy it’s been a busy time for them with groups of kids up to 800 each week.  I’m trying to work a few hours a few days a week.  I help put the food in pans to get it ready for the cook for the up coming meals and the past few days I've been working the ice cream machine.   I get to put smiles on faces when i hand them an ice cream cone :))  Last week i did a bit of campground hosting which consist of checking in new RVer’s and opening the pool gate to let the Rver’s in.  I still get really tired and wore out easily with some light dizziness and chest pains.  I still have to be careful with walking and etc because it causes me to have chest pains.  I did get good news back on my blood work.  I’m not a diabetic and my cholesterol was good. I’m scheduled for a echo and induced stress test on August 9th. 

Between health issues and family issues it appears as if we may be staying around until after Thanksgiving.  Were praying that the cold will stay away until then but I'm sure that is wishful thinking.  Although with the heat we’ve been having I may be ready for some cooler temps by then.  We’ve been having a very hot and dry summer.  Everything is burned up here from the lack of rain.  In fact this past week a burn ban has been issued for the campground.  Today temp reached 105!  You know it’s been hot when 90’s temp have felt cool.  We still are undecided what our winter plans will be as there are so many things in our lives that will decide what they will be. 

We had to get a new battery for our 4 wheeler this past weekend.  We are also dog sitting for a part lab/beagle dog.  She is pretty good we’ve just had to chase her a few times.  She would run out the door every chance she got.  She is getting better at waiting until we put her leash on her after a few scolding's.  All in all she is a good dog and we’ve enjoyed having her.  In fact i wouldn’t mind if her owner decided she couldn’t come back for her and I'm sure that I'm going to be heart broken when she does come get her.  Yes we are falling in love with her.  I will try to take some pictures of her.

We have been enjoying fresh cucumbers and tomatoes from our garden.  Hubby has enjoyed being in one spot long enough and a place to have a garden.
