This summer is made up of weddings in our house. Last evening we attended a wedding for one of Mary Beth’s friends. It was held outside and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more beautiful bride. Mary Beth was in the wedding. We have showers to attend. Another wedding to go to in July and Mary Beth’s in August. 

Before going to the wedding, I managed to get my contest material in the mail. With that done, and the sun shining after 5 days of rain, I painted the handrails on the front of the house. Nick and I will finish some more painting this week if the weather holds.

I’ve been working all week to get material ready for two writing contest. I been working around a computer that had to be sent off to be repair, at only 4 months old. I had to retype some of the material and the dead line is looming. Zach went to work this week at a place for people with difficulties where they pack things for companies. To top it off we are starting to gear-up for Mary Beth’s wedding. If I wasn’t already a list maker, I would have to start being one.  Nick is work on getting stuff together for a scholarship.

I think this is the first year in over ten years that I’ve not been out of town the first week school was out. Because Andy had back surgery we are having to hang close to home. I hope that with this surgery he will have some relief from pain. Nick is out and about with friends. He comes home just long enough to tell us he is leaving again. I would like for him to find someone to play tennis with. He’s not up to a long game but just some good exercise. I will have to work on that. It is so nice to see he doing better everyday. Still needs to gain weight. For that he just needs to follow me around and eat what I eat.  It seems to work for me.

Zach graduated from high school tonight. He was so proud. He followed directions to the T and there were no slip ups. He will start work in a program on Tuesday. We will see how that goes and what he will do after that. Drew will graduate in December and Nick – sometime in the future. 

I’m going to take this opportunity to toot my horn.

I did a radio interview with Jay Grayce last week. You can hear it by going to www.nytalkradio.com and clicking the Jay Grayce Show. I’m pod cast # 133. She gave me 20 minutes which is great. Please comment on her site and let me know what you like also.

I’m a member of a great group blog called Petit Fours and Hot Tamales. We are all romance writers and each one of these woman are outstanding. They never stop amazing me with their writing, willingness to help, and their ability to come up with great ideas. Anyway, our blog and a writing get together were featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution living section.
