Well, as promised, we did have a special dinner for Devin on Sunday. Interesting that his birthday was on Sunday, since he also made his first public appearance on a Sunday---23 years ago. We had 9 people around our dining room table Sunday to share a meal and to wish Devin a happy day-----Merrel, Dortha, Jan, Sherlyn, Jaron, Courtney, G.J., Ron and Vicky. (The picture is of Sherlyn, Devin and Jan taken 8-12-07).
Not much going on this week on Holland Hill. There will be some changes starting tomorrow, however. G.J. and his friend, Megan, will be leaving to drive to Columbia, MO, to begin life as college students. They each graduated from high school with honors and will now experience a new and different way of life---one they have not known before. It is never easy to leave everything and everyone that is familiar to us. They will be facing new challenges as well as making new friends along with making their own decisions and taking care of their every need----no more asking Mom or Dad to do this or that for them. I am sure they will adjust and do quite well and we wish them much success as they prepare for their life's vocations.
We have had several days with 100 plus temps and we need rain so badly.. We wonder now why we complained about the ice and snow we had a few months ago. We are promised some relief from the heat later this week and to at least get back into the 90's. We had a very comfortable Spring and Summer until August arrived and there will be only a few more weeks until we will be enjoying the Fall Season.. That will be refreshing.
That is all for today.
