Volume 1

This is not going to be one of my regular blogs.

When my sisters and dad use to go and spend the month of June up in Utah I would send them family news letters. Before Heather left for Germany she found one. It was entertaining and I told her I would do some and put them on my blog for her. Here you go Heather….

Volume 1

No-Show

Mom was rather ticked off on Wednesday when the floor installation guy did not come. She spent the last several days cleaning out the piano room to have the new floors installed and then they never even showed. Angela is not very happy that when she walks by the room everything echos. Although Angela is sure that mom is loving that everyone can hear what she’s saying when she tries to tell them what to do. The boys are confused as they no longer have a bed to lay down in the very empty room.

A Nutty Family

Dad was pretty funny when we went to dinner last week. We went to mom’s favorite place OTB. While waiting for their food, Angela asked mom if she was as moody as Kim. Without hesitating mom said she was. The details are a little sketchy but A little bit later Angela or Kim told mom that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Dad who wasn’t participating in the conversation replied telling Angela and Kim that they were nuts and not apples. Apparently in that family the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Deuce and his Teeth

Deuce is a little nervous for his dental appointment tomorrow. When Angela leaves for school tomorrow she will drop him off at the vet’s office. Angela is not very happy about how much it is going to cost her to get his teeth cleaned. A source close to Angela said that it was going to be close to two-weeks of pay. That’s a lot when you’re not working very much!

Samson

James and Kim have been swimming in the pool a lot this past week. They have been letting Samson swim with them. Kim has been getting her feelings hurt because Samson has not been playing very nice by ignoring Kim and only playing with James. Apparently James is very popular in the swimming pool. Samson even went off the diving board a few times with encouragement from James. Samson has been a little depressed because Heather is no longer around to take him running. He has been trying so hard to lose weight. Deuce has stepped in and is letting Samson run with him in the backyard but Samson doesn’t feel the workout is equivalent.


Mailbox

The mail box at the ‘R’ residence looks a little tacky. The neighbors had a little get together on Monday and have yet to take down the 3 mylar balloons that they attached to both mailboxes. Nobody seems to know why they are still attached to the mailbox. Angela is tempted to buy some plastic flamingos and garden gnomes and place them around the yard to go with those balloons.
