Okay, I am going to try this and see if I can keep it up.

Bill is golfing in Durango this weekend in a tournament. He called me last night and said he didn't do too well and was discouraged. He is hoping that he will do better today. He is then home for the week and maybe he will work on the backyard. (At least that is what he said he will do!) Emmalee keeps asking him for a back yard (of course with a little help from Grandma) and maybe with her asking he will do it.

As for me, I have been doing a little bit of everything; cleaning, sewing, making cards for the card swap, coloring, being a grandma, you get the picture. Kristiina and I are making all kinds of aprons to sell at Amy's store and we are trying to get them made, so we have both been sewing up a storm.

As for the coloring - I am making file folder games for the grandchildren when I have them here at my house or when I take them somewhere or for just in general. I also thought I would take some to Church just in case some children are bored and need something to keep them quiet! I am almost done with coloring them. Then to Office Depot to have the files laminated and then they will be done. It is a huge job to color them all.

While babysitting the other day, Dominic and Sebastian were sleeping and Emmalee and I went outside while it was raining. She played outside in the rain for at least 1 hour with her purple umbrella. She had a ball! She loved making footprints on the porch where it was dry.

Amy and Kermitt are doing great. They are both keeping busy with their own businesses. (that doesn't look right) Amy is still with the barbershop group and teaching piano lessons along with golfing. Kermitt still is golfing but not as much as he used to. He is flying airplanes and needs flight time but with the price of gas, the price has gone up per hour and it is more expensive than before, so he doesn't get the flight time as often as he would like.
