I finally figured how to get back in here and do this again! I will admit I am far from computer literate, and this just proves it! Of course in the meantime I am learning all about a new phone as well. I got great use from my old one, Verizon doesn't make the battery anymore! John is imagining what will happen when he upgrades, his phone is older than mine.
But between graduation, a trip to Dallas, Neil Diamond, and freshman orientation, we thought we were busy. Then the storm hit! What in the world is a derecho anyway? It has a Wikipedia definition but I can sum it up: it was some major wind! When the storm hit, I thought Isaac would be doing a Dorothy on us, he was outside mowing the grass! But we were lucky, one tree here, lots at the camp, in the long run, we were okay. Many weren't as lucky and my heart went out to them. It looks like clean up is moving us forward. Forward to what? As I look ahead, I look at the positive. Yeah it sounds corny, that's who I am and I enjoy such an attitude. So vacation is coming up, so is band camp, fall sports, and getting Isaac to college. Will everything be rosy? No it won't. But we will endure, we will adjust. Just like we adjusted when we had no lights, or no air conditioners, we will adjust to all the changes around us.
Nuff on the deep stuff. Today as we were late getting to the orthodontist, I kept talking to the cars in front of me as they went very slow, and fussing about the VDOT road crews cutting brush, and Isaac and Laura kept telling me, "Mom, they can't hear you". But it sure made me feel better!
Catch ya later!
