Summertime

Yikes, it's been almost a month since I posted anything here! Spent about 11 days at the Metolius living the life everyone dreams of, then got back to work the beginning of last week. Here's some pictures of our camping trip I posted on Facebook. I hope you can access them. I struggled with this for awhile before calling my whiz kid son Nick to take care of the html code and set me up with these handy links (in about two minutes). So cool! He is available for hire. Last week he got two unsolicited "computer gigs", from a teacher and a family at church who actually paid him for his expert technical assistance!

Camping at Metolious.

West Metolious hike.

Now the family project is painting the exterior of our house. It moves along slowly because of the heat, painting in the morning and evenings. The boys are all just loving this opportunity to get up earlier than normal and be productive members of the family before they head off to jobs in the afternoon. We appreciate it! How it warms a parent's heart to see their children working together for the common good!

Yesterday I had the day off because the carpets were getting cleaned at the office. Eric decided he might take the opportunity to get a tan on normally unexposed areas. Aren't these nice cutoffs! What a fashion plate! I giggled every time I looked at him.


I got off pretty easy so far, being at my glamorous job all alone at the school while most of the painting is going on. Hopefully it will be finished up before the weekend!
