OK... been nearly a month since my last post... sorry kids...
Staying busier than I'd really expected. Quite a few projects at work while we have some relatively quiet months over the summer. The last few days has been about laying about 3,200 feet of new flooring down in one of our oldest theaters. Started this project about two weeks ago. Paint goes down tomorrow & then we should be in the home stretch.
Spent the weekend before July 4th helping my brother help some friends. A couple of his good friends who live in town here (my bro lives in NJ) needed some help getting some medical bills payed. They are both amazing & good hearted people who have gracefully faced a lot of adversity. This time they needed a hand. My brother organized a BBQ & Blues benefit. We got a great spot at a local park & every on chipped in with food & funds. & a little gospel & blues music & a pony keg of good beer and you got a party. Seventy or so folks showed up & we raised over $5,000. That should carry them for about 3 months with all their medical expenses.
The 4th was all about spending time around the house & working in the garden. Slowly but surely I'll make myself a little Eden.
My body is still adjusting a bit to the humid summer days that turn into humid summer nights. We've been getting some amazing thunder storms in the evenings. I know these same storms are wreaking havoc else where but they sure do cool things down around here. Afterwards, the crickets & cicadas fill the world with a sound that splits the air. Right now, that sound seems to be pouring fire into the clouds as the sun finally gives it a rest for the day.
I notice that a friend has left the sight... Ms.FluxCapacitor... I don't think I'm the only one who will miss her spirit around here.
