End of June Already?

I can't believe it's already the end of June! Seems like the kids were just getting out of school for the summer, and now it's only 7 weeks until Brandon heads off to K-State and just less than that before the twins head back to school. Time sure has a way of slipping away from us!

Nothing major to report. Corby and the kids made it home from Oklahoma around 2:30 Sunday afternoon. They had a good visit with Charles; who is now thinking about moving back to Kansas! He's got friends from his trucking days who live in El Dorado and Leon, and there isn't much keeping him in Oklahoma. We hope he does decide to move up here. I think it would be good for him.

The twins had their 3-hour night driving session last night. Corby and I made good use of the time while they were driving - we went to the Palace and saw WILD HOGS with John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William Macy. It was SOOOOO funny! The kids had seen it when it first came out, and they really enjoyed it too. We hadn't been to the Palace in a long time. It only costs $2.50 to see a movie there, so we only spent $5!!!

I went to mom's tonight on my way home. She seems to be doing okay, but had some questions about her toilet and whether it was working properly (IT IS!). For some reason the toilet is one of her "stress" items, and she tends to imagine problems with it when there is absolutely nothing wrong! I fixed her a frozen meatloaf dinner, got her mail, set out her pills, and visited a bit.

Had a crown fall off today, so I called the dentist and they are getting me in at 9am tomorrow. Brandon will have to take the twins to and from driver's ed tomorrow.

I just finished "Laced" by Carol Higgins Clark. It's a Regan Reilly mystery, but I don't think it's one of her better books. I am getting ready to start "Revenge of Innocents" by Nancy Taylor Rosenberg. I've read most (if not all) of her books, and enjoy them.

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
