Well, it is raining.. and raining.. and we need every drop..
first time in years it has rained in August!!
Grandson's back in School and lovin' it. Son Jake back in School and lovin' it too.. He is the OLE' man in his class! Always before, he was the youngest in his class for 13 years!! Jake and Great grandma went to town to get school supplies and they had a ball. He reported she was like a kid in a candy store, looking and cutting up, etc. and then she tried to pay with a counter check instead of regular check and Atwoods would not take it... wow.. can you imagine what happened after that... ??? Mom at the counter trying to pay with a check that the business would not take.. haha... yelp, she got ticked... you'll have to ask Jake the rest of the story....
Jon reported to Ann that Randi was hired in Ada by a Dentist/CPA office to run the deal! She will be great at that! I know it is an answer to some prayers there, as it is hard to make it with just one income. Randi has been looking hard for work and finally looks like something has come along that has all the things she loves to do in it.. how lucky!!
You know what, I really miss not seeing Kaitlyn more. I know the road between us runs both ways, but it is hard to get to see her as often as we would like. She is really growing up. Randi and Jonathan are doing a great job with her. Now they just need to have about a dozen more!!
Ann is trying to keep up with all the changes at her office. Seems that the wonders of the peter principle come into play there a lot. If you are our age, you know what that expression means!! Sometimes it helps to have someone driving the train... just an observation!!
Her dear friend Missy is now a chicken farmer. Her and Ann purchased a dozen chicks several months ago, and Missy fixed up a "chicken house and pen" and picked up some of her birds to enjoy some "homemade" eggs... I have to tease her! And now.. I think Jake and Ann have purchased a few of the chicks that lay the "COLORED" eggs... so now we have a new chicken farmer in the family... guess that is better than having chicken thieves in the family.. haha..
Phil and his office are cooking out all week for Driver Appreciation at Rains Trucking. How lucky! Our picnic table that was loaned out several years ago, is on it's way home, with a stop there this week for the drivers to use. ( I wonder???? reck'n we will get a sampling of the great food, for them using it, hehehahah.... !) Phil is so talented.. He is a whiz with photoshop, he and Jonathan both. Be sure to see some of Austyn's photos on Phil's blog.. cool cool cool....
Paul and his team are winning their ball games this summer, rolling over the other's but lots of points.. They have a solid team and they show up to play ball! and then they prove it! Now his goal is to hit one out of the park!! and he will! He reported that they have weaned their baby goats now too... but I think the thing he enjoys most is messing around with his new daughter!! She has him wrapped around her finger right now.. But then Madison has even got Andrew wrapped around it too.. haha..
Heather is doing good, and feeling better. She had a bit of a scare last week when she started feeling bad, but it was other things.. and it was not bad.
Tammy, still smiling and enjoying her teaching... Her and Jake and Phil headed to Bricktown last Saturday to eat and enjoy a movie... I think the boys enjoyed, not sure if Tammy did, haha, as the movie was "Dukes of Hazzard"... haha... They ate at Toby Keith's and said it was good food and atomsphere, too.
Ann and I kept Austyn, who was a hoot. He is on self entertainment mode.. and can play and play and play.
Sunday, Heather and Madison and Andrew came over and had lunch with us, and we kept the kiddos while she went home and got some things done, as she is now back at work. Ann and Jake took them home about 5ish..
Ann and I love the grandkids. How wonderful it is and how richly blessed we are to have them so close that we can see them often and watch them grow. It is amazing how much Madison changes in just a few days... and ... well you know.. haha....
Sure there are things I have left out, and I am sorry.. will try to refresh my memory and write more later.. if the memory comes alive!! haha..
May God deeply bless you and yours, forever!
