This is from last Sunday in our backyard.  The borough claims it is going to bring in dirt to fill in to stop the flooding problems.  We ain't holding our breaths.  They promised that before. But you can see that the back yard is a good 4 foot lower.

On Saturday our church had a community day in lieu of Bible School.  With our church having a major expansion project going on, they thught it would be safer if a lot of kids weren't around plus there isn't a lot of room right now to utilize all space.... so they had this at the town's fairgrounds instead.  They had a kid's musician come in to entertain, a balloon sculpturist, carnival games and food, all free!  (including milshakes, pork barbeque sandwiches, hotdogs, french fries, snow cones, pop corn, cotton candy, soda and water) They also had a BMX bike demo and a pool party in the evening.  They also asked the fire company to bring the county's smoke trailer which is like a trailer they fill with smoke and fire safety hazards to teach kids to recognise fire hazards and get out of a smoky building.  Norm was in charge of that.

Ty's team is currently in the playoffs.  If they win tomorrow they play the best team in the league on Monday. 

I've been walking the dog about a mile a day since summer vacation started....and it's been showing on the scales!

Norm got a call from the guy he usedto work part time for at a second job.  The guy is reopening his business and asked Norm to come in and help him out.  We are grateful for the second job for a little extra to help pay bills.  Lately with the economy being how it is, it's been a little overwhelming. I told Norm I didn't want him to work like he did before.  It's just  too much!
