Summer happenings

SO much rain!! It seems like yesterday was the only day that it didn't rain in ages. Gabriel had to take advantage of that and do his neighborhood mowing. One family is also going to have him trim the hedges. (Of course, our lawn isn't looking too good because he did his customers first and not our lawn yesterday...)

The rooms are painted, here is Anna's new (light) green room.


And Marian's pink room (excuse the blurry pic)

We are so happy the project is done and the house is back in order!

We are headed to Gatlinburg (TN) tomorrow to meet up with friends who are traveling this way from Chicago. It's a touristy town, right on the edge of the Smokies. The kids are hoping the rain will let up enough to go on the Alpine Slide there.
