Good-bye June!


Oh my goodness, where did June go?  Where has the year gone?! That's an even better question. Time just goes too fast.

Another rainy day for us.  The boys went out this morning, to Harbor Freight. For those not familiar with Harbor Freight, it's like a Hobby Lobby, only for men (I'm smiling). While out, they stopped at Sam's Club and got rotisserie chickens for our lunch/dinner.  I made mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, steamed mixed veggies, and a salad to go with the chicken.  It was good. Our supper was leftovers from last night and this afternoon. Still good.  Apple pie and ice cream for dessert. Everyone is happy and full.

Joey and Darlene have decided to cut their visit short. They originally planned a trip down to Miami, to see Darlene's brother, for Monday and Tuesday, then back here for Wednesday and the July 4 holiday. Tristan was going to go with them. Then, today, they noticed that one of the dogs is beginning to go into heat. They have appointments to get them spayed the week after they get home, but it now needs to be pushed up, so they are heading home tomorrow, instead of to Miami. It is sad for Tristan, since he doesn't get to see his dad very often.  Hopefully he will enjoy the week with us, since he isn't scheduled to go home until Friday. We just love that boy.

At work, our fiscal year ends today (June 30), so tomorrow begins a new year for us. I have tons of work to do, for year-end and to get the new budget in place.  The audit will be at the end of the month. July is always hectic for me. On the mark, get set....GO!

I hope you had a good Sunday, and wish you a good week ahead!  Peace, love & hugs.

  3. Awww that's a shame they had to cut their visit short. I'm sure Tristan will have a great week with you.

    June did seem to fly by. I can't believe it is July already. Have a great week!

  5. Those rotisserie chickens are great! Very flavorful and you don't have to heat up the kitchen oven or wash the roasting pan. I freeze leftovers and make a delicious chicken-vegetable-rice soup with them.
    The great news for Tristan is he will not have to compete with anyone else for your undivided attention. At his age, it is too soon the young men would rather be with their friends. You probably have - - but ask him if there is one thing he really, really wants to do this week with you all - - - if it can be worked in the schedule. You all will have that memory.

  6. Sorry they had to cut their visit short. I thought you were going to say one of the fur-babies was sick. hahaha Poor little girl.
    You are going to be busy this month. I remember what that was like when I was secretary for the church/school. The only difference... our fiscal year started in Jan. That's what the pastor wanted.
    So Harbor Freight is the grown man's Toys-R-Us?
    I hope Tristan and you can find some things to occupy that teen-age restless mind. I always had problems in that dept.
    You have a good day.

  7. I'm always asking myself where time goes, and always think about waiting and waiting for Christmas as a child. Too bad Tristan didn't get to spend more time with his dad. He'll enjoy himself with you I'm sure.
