Saturday Morning and All Is Quiet......

Woke up this morning to dense fog! We have the two little guys for the weekend, so I'm being very quiet. Let them sleep as long as possible! Actually, Zach got up about twenty minutes ago, and is already out riding his motorcycle, but Wyatt is still sleeping.
Races were rained out last night, so Dennis was home all evening to help entertain the boys. We had pizza, ice cream and then a movie. I asked Zach how much ice cream he wanted, and he said, "too much"! Ha! When he was just a little toddler, Travis was sharing some M&M's with him. Travis asked him, "how much do you want?" and Zach said "too much". Travis and Dennis thought that was so funny, and of course Zach had no idea why they were laughing. Anyway, after too much ice cream, we watched Return to Snowy River. Zach had seen the first Snowy River movie just about a week ago. Wyatt was not as interested in the movie, except for the parts when the horses were running fast, so he played with the toys while we watched.
This is the last weekend before school resumes. I can't believe summer passed so quickly! We'll be back on the bus bright and early Wednesday morning. I'm trying to get used to the idea, and truthfully not dreading it like a was a couple weeks ago. Bobbie and I plan to ride together, and who knows what we might do between our morning and afternoon routes. You can bet that whatever we do, wherever we go, we'll have a good time...after all, it's our motto.
I'm going to take advantage of the peace and quiet while Wyatt is sleeping and Zach is out riding his motorcycle. I'm thinking of a great cup of coffee and the newspaper. All too soon, we'll be racing through the activities of a day with the grandkids. They have big plans....we have to go to the Moo Moo Cafe for ice cream treats, ride motorcycles...(for hours), go shopping for a brush for Timmy (their dog), play cars, and a host of other things they think we must do while they're here.
Just moments ago, Wyatt woke up, came downstairs and said he wanted to ride the four-wheeler. He says he saw them out the window. So, within 5 minutes of getting up, he's also out riding with Zach and Dennis! Time for that coffee!!!! Who knows how long this will last.
Have a great weekend!

Knocked Out by Another Storm!

Yes, indeed. We are again having problems after the thunderstorms. When it works, it's great, but at the moment, I'm waiting on the phone for the next available representative for tech support. The expected hold time is between 5 and 15 minutes. Of course, I can try later during their less busy hours, but I'm not sure when that would be. Since the last time each wait was between 15 and 30 minutes, I'd say my chances are better right now!
Zach spent the day here, and since it was raining all morning, we went to the library and checked out some movies. We watched Man From Snowy River. After that, we made no bake cookies and then rode motorcycles after lunch. Tyler stopped to get him and the motorcycle after work.
Not much else going on here. Next week I'll be back to work. I'm still holding, so will continue to mess with the computer. I'm thinking of it works alright I'll just hang up on these people. Here are some really great photographs. I didn't take these pictures, but whoever did really got some great shots.
