it's been over two months.....
I can't believe that it has been over two months since we last posted. The inspector will have to add our pictures.
We have been on the go all summer. Jody has had MANY tupperware parties that have kept her out of trouble, in addition to her lovely children to keep her on her toes. She also spent 10 LONG days in Florida for her Tupperware Jublilee..NO KIDS, just her and Jeremy!
We all (Jody, Brady, Maddy, Carter, Scott, Josh, Nicole and I) left on August 19 for a short vacation in Wisconsin Dells. Jeremy joined us on the 20th. We window shopped in town, went to Mt. Olympus for two days of indoor/outdoor fun. Ate TOO much food. The adults went to a Broadway Theatre (Fabulous 50's) while the wonderful teenagers stayed at the hotel with the kids (including one that was SICK!!)
The final day of our vacation was the best weather wise and we took a DUCK boat ride down the Wisconsin River followed by 18-holes of mini-golf.
We have a few weeks left of summer before school starts back up. I am sure we will be out on the boat at least once more before the summer is over. I have a couple of camping trips planned and we also have the annual trash pick up at the Sheboygan County Fair. A long weekend to Eagle River before the end of September as well, so it is go, go, go!
Hope you all are enjoying your summer as well.

OLLIE
I had promised the kids for the past seven years..that once we buy a home, we would get another dog. With Nicole's allergies, I was looking in the way of low-shedding...low maintenance...well, what turns out NOT to be the Chocolate Labradoodle that I was looking at, as it is actually a Yellow Labrador, named OLLIE.... he is 3 months old and is doing well so far!!! pictures will be posted later...I must get my own digital camera!!!
This past Thursday is when we picked him up, and Nicole decided not to go by her dad's house, instead she did a great job caring for OLLIE at Jody's home.
I instead had already accepted the invite of friends to go camping this past weekend. I had a very relaxing and enjoyable time at Long Lake (only 20 mins. from our house, but far enough away from the ins and outs of everyday life). It rained, and rained...but I loved every minute of it and am looking forward to the next time I am able to go. I promised that we wouldn't get the ranger called out on us the next time. Apparently some of us in the group were a bit loud for the other campers...HELLO, it's camping and it was only midnight...party poopers!
School is in it's final week for this year!!! Yippeee... I am excited for summer to begin... lots of outdoor stuff to finish up (projects!!) and more camping to be done...hoping to go on a road-trip to Northern Wisconsin before the summer is over.
That's all for now... hope you all are doing well and enjoying LIFE!!

updates for all
time flies when you are having fun ... and even when you are not.
The rememberance gathering for my father this past Saturday was a lot of fun.. enjoying the memories that everyone shared of the relationships that they all had with my dad...everyone a different facet. It was beautiful...a bit of rain for about 45 mins... and then was sunshine. Lots of food and Beverages!!! I know my dad would have loved every minute of it!
Things (projects wise) at our home are coming along. As I mentioned before I made a promise last Saturday not to do any BIG projects for 30 days... that is a lot longer than I had anticipated... so far, so good.... small is good, for now.... though I am PLANNING BIG projects!!! I let you know what I come up with....
the inspector will have to finish our post later.. .Nicole just called, she is done having a girls night with friends!!!

Love Ya Dad
Rosemary here....
On May 18, 2009, my father passed away. For the last year he had been battling lung cancer. As it goes, last week he received a clean bill of health, and was cancer free. However, the damage was far to great for his already weak heart to bear.
Today, May 21, 2009, we had his funeral, followed by a 21 gun military salute!!! He would have been so proud of this day.
This coming Saturday, we will host a gathering of rememberance in his honor...starting at 3pm...at our home, call if you need directions!

quick update
Just a very quick update...we finishing Nicole's flooring...our first time mitering (fitting corners) for the quarter round. All in all, we did a great job (that was after the frustration level was HIGH, then I decided that we had nothing to lose and everything to gain by finishing this project on time!)
Then at 1am we decided that it wouldn't be a finished project unless her bed was assembled. she has boxes to organize...we do have to put back on the closet doors.... but it's done!
I've made a promise that after this big project was finished, I would rest, and not do any BIG project for 30 days. I have plenty of small projects to keep me out of trouble.
We also finished the new clothes line project at Jody & Jeremy's house..... FIVE LINES!!!
Pictures will be posted shortly. We have not seen any updates on the cousin's blogs????????

an update
The project list continues ... however we are making progress ... even though some of our "projects" were not on my list in my notebook!! We had the furnace which I spoke of in the other post...the pump on the new furnace broke the next day, the garage door broke (not fixed yet!), the living room window leaks (not fixed yet!), chimney leaks, we had a pipe in the wall of the kitchen bust, leaks from the bathroom tub, ended up painting and installing chair rails, as the wallpaper issue could not be resolved to my standards .... a new bathroom sink will be installed this week.... the basement bathroom sink and toilet are running...not over the floor anymore....
all this being said.....
it really is a wonderful home ... and you are all welcomed to come and visit anytime!! JUST DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING, IT COULD BREAK...
though the water heater that was installed in 1985, which I was told to replace first, still is running strong, as of this mornings shower!!
and lastly, our beds arrive this weekend and I can't forget the last big project is Nicole's flooring will be installed next week.... stay tuned for more pictures... I do check the quality of those pictures before posting... just incase the Inspector decides to post any X'rated photos...
OK, my break time is over, I must head over to DivorceCare class.
for more pictures go to my facebook account....
