July Almost Gone

Wow, I just can't believe it is almost the end of July.  Where does the time go? 
We spent the 4th of July in St George visiting my in-laws.  They are getting older and experiencing many health issues - NOT FUN!!  I don't really look forward to that part of getting older. 
It seems like summer is just flying by.  In only a month school will start again.  Unbelieveable. 

This week I am having my annual "garage sale and open house."  I have lots of retired Stampin' Up! stuff to sell and to give away.  After this it will hit the Ebay posts because I really need the room!! 

Bella (our dog) had 8 puppies again 2 weeks ago.  They are opening thier eyes now, and starting to try and walk instead of crawl.  Unfortunately, 2 of them and our small male dog died this week.  No apparent reason.  We saw no symptoms of Parvo, so we think they somehow got into something that was posion to thier systems.  It was a very sad day!!  Bella and the other 6 puppies are doing well. 

Sean is still in Texas at school for AF and Heatherly is headed down soon.  In late September or early October, they will be moving to NE for their first duty station. 

The other kids are going along in school and work as usual.  Melanie will be doing photography at CSI for now and is looking forward to that. 

Not much else is happening.  Our retreat for 4 Girls and a Dream is coming up in October and I am in charge of the food this time.  I'm excited about that because I sometimes miss cooking.  I'll share some of the menu as I get it figured out. 

I made some totally awesome cards for my stamp club this time, but I don't have pics yet, so I can't post.  I have 3 clubs this year and am excited about that.  Each group is fun and will be a blast to meet with. 

Have a great day - or month if I don't get back any sooner.
