Almost August!


I can't believe it is July 31st! Time is flying with all the activities and work. My job is going GREAT!! I love working at Texas Parks and Wildlife. Some of the projects I am working on are a 170' radio tower in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, a floating fishing dock in Meridian SP, and repairs at Matador and Gene Howe Wildlife Management Area. Never a dull day at TPWD!

Christy is going to Junior Ranger Camp at McKinney Falls SP this week with her friend Sydney. They are excited because today they are going to learn how to fly fish. They have been swimming, hiking, birdwatching and all kinds of fun things in the great HOT outdoors!

Amy has been swimming every morning, and this week has been painting. This is one she did this week. She is very talented. She paints on cardboard or whatever else she can find! The picture above is a flower she painted.

August is a very busy month, and I am so excited! My son Jon is coming in from California on the 14th (with girlfriend Laura Marie), then on the 15th we are all going to Utopia for our family reunion/birthday celebration for Mom and Dad! More on that later....

Dallas is here from Waco for a few days. She wants to go shopping, etc. I don't know why she doesn't shop at work (Old Navy), but she likes Banana Republic. I sure hope she does well in Law School and gets a great job to support her expensive tastes!

Chris has been working hard at Benchmark. We enjoy going to the community pool every evening after dinner to cool off and swim a bit. Great time to unwind.

We went to see "Dark Knight" at the IMAX Tuesday night! It was AWESOME! I hid my eyes a few times, got kinda gross... Now I can't wait to see Mama Mia!
