several of my friends' blogs, and they all sounded so very interesting. I hardly know what to say. My computer has been ill, and I haven't been able to get on---but now it's better and I think I have caught up with all my interesting blogging friends.
Not too much new here. I cut the boys hair a few days ago (& Dean's). I love cutting hair, and I think I'm getting better at scissor-cutting. Anyway Dean's always looks pretty good.
We've been on antenna for several years now, and we were going to get the converter boxes for HD TV. But..... I read an article that says they don't all work, and some don't work well. So we decided to get DISH Network instead of fooling w/the boxes. We got the family package and I really like all the channels we get, plus it's the most inexpensive one they had! I especially like Hallmark and Hallmark Movie Channel and the DIY and ID channels. And of course the kids love Boomerang and Animal Planet etc. So I think we made good choice.
I've been reading a lot this summer, and really enjoying it. So many good books and so little time!
I'm taking the boys tomorrow and Friday as Sherri is busy as usual. All of her children are pleasant to have and are at such a good (& easy) age to have around! In two years we will have the trauma (like my friend Trish) of having to go through Bekah learning to drive and taking Driver's Ed. I'm thinking we should start teaching her now. Back in the "olden days" when I learned to drive, everyone could already drive by the time they had driver's ed. Believe it or not, I could drive at 9. And we had stick-shifts! Bekah does drive the tractor, but I think she and Katie actually could learn some basics in a big parking lot. Hmmmmmm. :-)
My theory (not having kids to take care of most of the time) is that during the HOT summer, we should sleep in the day and do work at night. Does anyone agree with this, or am I crazy?
Well, good night for now.........

i could completely sleep in the day and work at night, but they don't teach swimming lessons at midnight! My internal clock is inclined to sleep about 1am to 7am as the silence of my sleeping family is addictive! I think your's is too. But the heat is miserable and staying inside is nice. Glad you got your tv channels back. We have FIOS- fiber optics, but it is also our computer and phone. It works fine. I don't think it's ever gone out which is better than most. Teaching Bekah to drive- my prayers are with you. When you learned to drive- when Sherri and I did as well- the roads were less crowded. I learned to drive at the Pierre Bossier Mall road that circled the mall on a Sunday since everything was closed then. Where do kids learn now? By the way, my nephew is researching colleges and I saw John Brown on his list. They may take a road trip sometime this summer.
Love,

You night owls crack me up! It would be nice to save the hard work for the nighttime if only I could stay awake that long. Being married to a night owl I've tried to switch over many times but I just can't!
You and your late night hours are rubbing off on me and I don't think Brian likes it. I really need to change my schedule back around for school... because my kiddos (well most of them) DO get up in the morning. Thanks for having the boys.
See you tomorrow.
love, me
