Here I am again! I know I probably have no followers anymore, but thought I'd try anyway! Nothing much has been happening in our lives after we took a trip to Boise in May. Went up for our granddaughter's Confirmation, which was very nice. Was good to see some of our kids.

We are looking forward to the arrival of our Abu Dhabi granddaughter and her son to return to the good old USA!! Her husband will come home at a later date, but it will be wonderful to have all of them back home after being gone nearly two years. Our little great-grandson, Kaden, has grown up in the UAE, and just turned two years old this past July. So, it will be great to get on a short flight and go to Idaho to see them.

Another of our granddaughter's joined the USAF and is stationed in Ramstein, Germany. Don't hear too much from her but know she's having a great time! Germany is a fun country!

We have had some bad luck with animals this summer....Marcia's dog had to be put to sleep. Then Monica and David had to put Pongo to sleep right before they left for their nice vacation on the east coast. Then, Kyle and Amie had to put her nearly 15 yr. old dog, Little Bear, down a few weeks ago. It's sad to lose an animal you love so much, but really, that's so much a part of life, you have to prepare yourself, which is also hard to do. Monica readily replaced their need for a pet with a new black lab. I can't remember the name (a little odd, I thought), but she looks really cute. Marcia has another dog, Coco, and I'm sure Kyle and Amie will get a new pet soon.

Other than just hearing some terrible news, nothing really going on. The terrible news? Oh my gosh, Guiding Light, is leaving tv for good! Sob, Sob, Sob...hahahaha Oh, how I hate those stupid soaps!! We just sleep, go to work, come home, sleep, etc., etc...over and over everyday except the weekends! Thank goodness we have the weekends off! So many changes going on at our store and what is happening there, leaves one to wonder what in the hell is going on so the weekends off gives us a rest from all that crap. The intellectual levels are not measurable in any of the managers...haha...too low!! Makes one to just want to bang their heads on a brick wall! What jokes....

Anyway, just wanted to say hello to all of you that check on this lazy blogger. I always say I'll try to do better, then when I don't, I feel guilty, so to relieve the guilt, I will just say "See You Next Time!"
