I'll check in and hope others will, too.
July is our family birthday month. Three grandkids were born in consecutive years (1999, 2000, 2001) plus one was born in May 1998 and another in June 1998, so lots of celebrations. One bonus daughter's birthday was Sunday. We did not get to see her, though, bc she lives in OK. We have a 12 year old great granddaughter whose birthday is July 4. She also lives in OK and is in a children's acting group. We recently went to see her in "Finding Nemo".
Our church made arrangements to have a free screening of the movie? "Sound of Hope" at a theater last week. I recommend it. It is a true story about the members of a small East Texas church that fostered or adopted all the children in their vicinity that were homeless. I think there were 77 kids of all ages. At the end of the movie, they told what became of them when they grew up.
On Sunday afternoon we went to the base to see a free prescreening of? the movie "Twisters". Wow! I felt like I was in a tornado several times. It was a very intense and realistic movie. So scary!!
In June we went to see a free prescreening of Kevin Costner's movie "Horizon" at the base. He was actually there and on the stage with the base commander. He spoke about how and why he made the movie. It had been in his head since the 1980's to do a history of how the west got started. He couldn't get financial backing even as a star who had made money on other films for the industry so he decided to finance it himself. He acted and directed, also. It is the first of a four movie series. The second of the series will be out in August. I was impressed by his humility and his respect for the military. He said he had played brave men in his career, but he knew who the real brave men were...the military.
Looking forward to my first great grandchild (a boy named Theodore..Theo) to be born this month. Yes, another July baby. This is my granddaughter Michaela's baby. Now we will have a great grandchild from my side of the family and one from Don's side (the 12 year old Annabelle from OK).
Enough of my life...how about yours?

It was a wonderful week as it was the first time in seven months that I got to sleep on a real bed with actual sheets and have hot water to shower and shave. I think I took about five showers a day just to enjoy the hot water. It was ironic that the Thai restaurant they had decided to go to is partly owned by the daughter of my first ex-wife. It was good to visit with her a bit and the food was very good. I think all but one or two of us took part of our meal home as the portion size is quite large. So, now it is up to you to go have a great week. By the way, it would not hurt to get on this site more often.

Our neighbor used to have squirrel feeder in the tree in front of their house but have now put the house up for sale. Since they took down their feeder, Sandy got one for our tree and now the squirrels are finding a new source of food. They are fun to watch and sure didn't take long to figure out how to get the food out of the feeder.

Re: A Towel Thief Visited Our House
They just steal bird food from my feeder. That was impressive to carry the towel up the tree.?

What a gift of looking at the full moon and remembering The ‘64 crew and others from SACHS and events since then…..especially since 2004 and following. ?The reunions and all celebrations with former classmates has brought much life to our years. Take good care of yourselves and make plans to be in San Angelo for Reunion 60 in mid October.?

Had a great trip to San Angelo last weekend and really enjoyed the Family Summer Gathering out in Water Valley. Visiting with family is always great and when you come from a family of really great cooks, well, you can't help but sample "just a little bit" of everything offered. Even got to experience a short downpour on Sunday morning while I was trying to get the truck loaded. All in all, a great weekend.
