It's a WeGo High tradition for graduating seniors to sign a wall backstage if they were in any shows during their time at the school. Tonight, Annie & I found Allison's brick.

Toilet was all plugged up today. We couldn't get it unclogged. Thanks, Joe for coming over and helping us.

This is a bird nest in our yard that fell down in the storms. I saw the mama bird today by the nest. It was so sweet.

The dryer stopped working a week or so ago. We decided to put up a clothesline & let nature do the work for us, at least until some time in th fall, anyway.

One of three half of trees that blew down. Our trampoline blew across the yard, but was stopped by a pine tree which lost a branch in the process. All the stuff on our back deck blew away, but I think I retrieved most of it. The kid's playhouses were blown around. And, I also lost a lot of shingles from the roof. Planning to call insurance tomorrow, and if I am lucky, maybe I can get my 30 yr. old roof replaced.

After tangling with a tornado, Madi and I finally made it out to Girl Scout camp. We took a hike out to the big suspension bridge, the highlight of this camp.

Look what happened while I was at work today! Thankfully we have some great family members, Eric, Cole and Marla cut it up and put it at the curb. Thank you.

We got a call from Colleen tonight, she asked us to go check out her house and Aunt Mary Lou. The lady that lets Ellie out had called Colleen at work to let her know that a tree had fallen. We had a storm here this evening and Colleen's tree in the front yard had split in half. It didn't hit the house or anything. Aunt Mary Lou actually didn't even hear it, do she wasn't worried at all.

Dad and Jess came to visit. They brought lollipops and James and Emily loved them. So happy they are here.

Dylan's cat, Woody, likes lettuce. He is staying with us while Dylan is on "tour". He took this piece of lettuce out of the sink.

A while back I was pulling weeds around my grapes and raspberries. There was a thistle that was too prickly, so I left it and planned to come back with gloves or something to cut it down. I never got back to it, and now it is really tall, and the kids love the beautiful flowers.

At the dentist's office, after getting a cavity filled. I remember being so very scared of the dentist when I was a kid. My kids actually look forward to their dentist visits, even the hard ones like this, because the dentist specializes in pediatrics - they do great with kids!

"Secret Colours" tour bus. All packed up and ready to hit the road. They have a gig in Philadelphia tomorrow night.

Typical morning. After being woke up by the dog or the cat or both at 5am to feed Ellie and take her out, I go back to bed. This was the sight I saw this morning when I woke up for good at 7:30am. Both of them sound asleep! I sometimes want to get back at them by waking them up, but then I let them sleep.

Sweet little puppy who came to stay with us tonight. She's got a splint on her leg, but we don't know the story of why it's there. Her mom's staying with us, too.

These are my leftovers from dinner tonight with Joe's parents. I was super hungry when we ordered, but couldn't eat it all!

I found a trail near work so I could walk on my lunch break. This is a weed/plant that looks like it belongs in a Dr Suess book. I didn't realize it when I took the picture but it is in three stages of blooming with the 'flower' farthest away from the sun blooming first.

The estimate to get the car fixed today. It ended up costing about a hundred dollars less, so that was a good thing, anyway.

Stephen and Cole trying to make a fort to sleep in. They actually got it to stay up (I didn't think it was going to happen). After playing in it for awhile they decided to take it down and just sleep on the couch.

I bought her a bike at a garage sale. She likes it so much that she is out there riding it until the last shred of daylight is gone.

Gianni had his first sucker. This picture was actually taken yesterday, but we didn't do much today.
