I need to take the time to proof read my posts. I usually do but this last post I didn't. I read it after it was sent and boy, I did mess up some. I do hope everyone could get the idea of what was being said. My mind was thinking faster than I was typing or I went back and read a section, made changes, and did not check to make sure everything flowed correctly, and I left behind extra words, and no sense at times.
Just to update on the last message about June. I have my ticket to California but a place to stay has not been determined yet. Clark has a condo in Long Beach that employees can stay in from time to time. Sam will be inquiring about this condo for us to stay in while there instead of a hotel. If we can get this, then we will bring Frankie. We both do not want to leave him for this week, in a cage, without making it comfortable for him. He is like a puppy with an attitude. Frankie just will not understand why he is being left. On short trips, this is OK as he also knows we will be back. With leaving him at the vet for a week, having his teeth cleaned too, while we are gone, will make the situation and his going to the vet, a terrible experience. (I know I would not like it). Frankie is part of the family.
I have so many little projects to get down around the house and I don't know where to begin. I know, at the beginning...he he. I just need to concentrate on one thing at a time instead of trying to do all the projects at once; nothing is resolved at that point.
Today is a new day and a renewed desire to finish at least one of the projects. Hey, It's a start! One of the bigger projects is to update my paper address book, update the house phones with names and numbers, update our cell phones with the same information, and then put everything on the computer's address book. Can you see why it is taking me so long to finish.
I then have to move all my documents, photos, etc. from the mac and me accounts to I Cloud as Apple has decided to stop using the @mac.com and @me.com. What a chore this one is too! I read the directions and it is also in multiple steps. I will need to sync my I Phone and I Pad to the computer, check to make sure everything has been moved to where it should be, and then do the update. Sam doesn't have the patience to mess with this chore. I don't mind doing it, but I dislike being interrupted in my concentration. This happens frequently...
Why can't life be a little easier? I guess we wouldn't grow and learn if it was too easy. This will make one a better person; one of which should be able to handle anything that might come along. I still would like to see how that easier feeling, feels like, but I just don't think it will be happening anytime soon.

WOW, Its JUNE!
Ok, that sentence is nothing really special except we are in the sixth month already. Today is also the start of hurricane season. I didn't think I would be talking or thinking about hurricanes. Our newspaper gave the list of names for the hurricanes this year. Chris will be the next name used with Tony further down on the list. Hmmm, I wonder what type of hurricanes they will be...
We will be celebrating our wedding anniversary this year in California. We will be there for about a week. Frankie won't be able to go with us this time. He will have to be boarded at the Vet. He never has had to do this as he was boarded at someone's home. We are concerned how he will take this change. He will be put into a small cage and will not have the freedom he usually has while at home. We both wish we could take him but the California plans will not allow it.
My craft table has been started. It has been so warm to hot, the last few days (take goodness for A/C), that it makes working in the garage almost impossible. At least a little bit has been done so I can wait a little while longer.
Our neighborhood is changing again. The lot next to us had been sold and the house is now going up. It will be the last house in our section. We are missing the openness that was provided to us when the house wasn't there. Of course we have said to ourselves, we should have purchased that lot. If we had, we would have had to pay HOA fees in addition to our present house. We pay two separate fees now.
I am pretty sure we have all of our doctors set up now. I have another new appointment to go too but the rest are complete. We saw our new dentist on Thursday and it was a fantastic experience. They used different tools. To take pictures of your mouth, the hygienist used a hand held camera that was the size of a wand. The pictures taken went straight to their computer. They now had a pictures of your teeth and then could add any further detail. The office also had something that looked like a black light that she used to look into your mouth. This device could tell whether you had cavities or problems with your mouth for the dentist to take a look further. I go back in two weeks to have a spot on the inside of my left cheek rechecked to see if it is still there or has gone away. Of course, my mind is going crazy but I was also told not to worry about it. If it was still there, then the next step will be to an oral surgeon. So, I wait.
This office, though, has been the best we have ever gone too. They all are so pleasant, the cleaning was easy and not rough as the last one was in California. They have TV's in each exam room. One of the rooms is for kids only and they show cartoons or shows that would interest the age of the child. Where was this when the kids were growing up?!
We had a problem with the Duffy boat the other day. We took it out and before we went too far, we lost power or just about. We called the gate house to try and find someone to help. We were had to go backwards in order to go forwards. The boat corrected this situation so the boat could go forward as it should have been doing, but it did it on its own. We made it back to the house but just barely. A repair service was contacted and we learned that the Duffy boat needs to be on a charge all the time. We were told the batteries just ran out of juice. We would charge the boat for most of a day or after taking it our and then take it off the charge at night fall. The boat has now been on a charge for the last couple of days but one particular person is anxious to get back out on the lake. Sunday will be the day.
We had Karen and Eddie spend the Memorial Day weekend with us. Karen had a conference in Washington DC and was able to stop for a visit on her return home. They did have to cut it short when Beryl decided to pay South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida a little visit. Karen and Eddie were able to make it back home before the heavy rain started. Florida did lose some power but we didn't have any problem. Beryl started as a tropical depression, then a tropical storm, and almost to hurricane force, Category 1, status. It stayed a storm when it reached land fall and slowly left the area after drenching the states with much needed water. Everyone has been dealing with drought conditions, that this soaking was a welcomed relief.
June is now starting to look full already. Between appointments, social events at the clubhouse, and trying to complete projects, we are busy. What happened to taking it easy?
