Things continue to be busy, and this post will be brief.

We're beginning another remodel.  Doesn't seem like that long ago since we finished our own (10 months ago, but it seems to have flown!)  Now we're completing the mother-in-law quarters on our lot in anticipation of my mother moving here in about 6 weeks.  The exterior is done, but the inside is a total shell.  The same guy who did most of our house is doing this one too and he and his crew began today.  First comes the demolition.  They're ripping up old floors, will have to tear off old plaster, frame a couple of walls, etc.  Plumbers start on Monday, installing forced air heat and refrig. air.  And I need to figure out cabinets and get them ordered soon so we won't have to wait on them.

I had hoped to start school on Aug 17 but think we'll wait til the 24th.  I have my bi-monthly editorial deadline this week and will need the following week to finish planning/prepping for school.  So not ready!

We have friends headed to Mongolia soon, so we had their reception at church last week.  DH and I were in charge of the food.  The entire reception went well, but I am glad that it's done.  Still juggling too many balls in the air.  Looking forward to the normalcy and routine that should come with school.

Hope all is well for those of you reading along.  Blessings to you and your families!
