Brother Joe was wondering what has become of me since I haven't updated recently. You can see by the pictures that I've been busy with company, holidays, fireworks, and just a good time. I'm home now for a couple days but plan on going back ASAP. I believe Ding and I are going down Friday.

We had a terrific fireforks presentation. Several of the neighbors chipped in. Eric and Julie and the boys and his Dad came over in their boat. The guys at my house tend to stay up late playing Risk or poker. Ann, next door, says they're a bad influence on Skip, her husband. Maybe he lost!

Ding's birthday is Tuesday. I won't post his upcoming age. I feel old enough already without my youngest being that old.

I'll do more catching up later.
