Good Morning! It’s Been a Hot Minute

 I am still here.  WE are still here, Things have been going ok, trying to stay busy and not worry — that is me — Hubs is definitely staying busy and not worrying about anything and sort of driving me crazy but I will take it.

Yesterday was our “First Date Anniversary” — June 26, 1965.  That evening we went to the movie at the neighborhood theater and saw “Dr. No” and “From Russia With Love”.  Every year we celebrate watching one of those movies — last night it was “Russia”.  Fifty Nine years ago —- where did it go?  

Tomorrow is Bean’s birthday.  She will be 14.  FOURTEEN!  YEARS1 OLD!  Again, where did it go?

She will start high school in a month.  She has a boyfriend — her fourth since the 7th grade — but this one seems to be sticking — a frightening thought.  He has even started going to church with her and has trained as an acolyte and they acolyte together.  Who knew?  God works in mysterious ways.  But, fourteen?  

It is hot here in Cowtown — or Funkytown — whichever you prefer.  I mean really hot — heat index of about 112.  I don’t go out.  Well, except when I have to.  I miss my young life in San Antonio where it was hot but not so hot that we didn’t spend lots of time in the lawn chairs outside.  Not possible here unless it is October. 

I FINALLY finished “Homewreckers” by Mary Kay Andrews.  I generally like her books but this one just didn’t grab me but I don’t give up easily so here we are.  Do I recommend?  Sure, it was ok, maybe it was just me not being able to settle my mind down.  But, it is done and now on to the next thing.

So, all in all, life is going on as usual.  We aren’t dwelling on Hubs health, or the weather, or the kid growing up — we are just putting one foot in front of the other and getting on with it.  Hopefully I can get back here better than I have been.
