There are now at least four hummingbirds that visit our yard, and very probably five or more. They move faster than you can count them, so anything over four is an estimate.
Our new living room tables came in a couple of weeks ago, and they look great. Now all we need is some new couches, but we won’t do that until the cats are gone. They’ve done a fabulous job tearing up the old couch, and it would be just too stressful to have to worry about them ruining new furniture.
But Boogins seems to be doing very well at the moment. I hope we have discovered the magic formula for keeping him healthy.
It’s been freaking hot these last several weeks, many days over 100 degrees. But September is on its way, and college football will be starting soon, in about 19 days. Already, the percussion section of the band is starting to practice across the street.
We have two new people at work who seem to be working out rather well, and a third new person starts this coming week.
And now the big news: Mary and her steady boyfriend Ken are planning to get married, in preparation for their plans to join the Service—hopefully Air Force, but if not that, Army. I’m seriously hoping for the Air Force, but truthfully, I have very mixed feelings about this. I know it will be a good experience for them and they’ll develop lots of useful job skills, and hopefully when they get out the economy will no longer suck so bad that college graduates can’t even get a job flipping burgers. I just hope they don’t have to go anywhere dangerous.
