2nd Sunday Post

It's been a pretty good day. Bill went to church for the first time since his skin cancer removals, he had been resting his leg as much as he could on the weekends so he's skipped the last few since there is a lot of standing. But he's back "in the groove" now.

Don and Darlene came over this afternoon, Bill and Don grilled burgers & dogs and we had a really nice meal and visit. Otter is always glad to see her grandparents. We all ate too much! It was a rerun of the Mother's Day meal, but it was still a good choice for today. Bill said that he's really enjoyed his Father's Day. We gave him two t-shirts, our tradition is to get funny ones for him for Father's Day and/or Birthday. His birthday is Wednesday, by the way.

Otter spent a few hours in the pool, I got in with her yesterday but today she was a solo swimmer. She has what we are referring to as a "creative sunburn" from yesterday. She missed a few spots with the sunblock, mostly on her shoulders but it almost looks artistic. Bill probably won't be able to swim much this year, because of the spot on his ankle. It's a lot better, but he still has to be somewhat careful with it.

Froggy, this is just for you. As I type this, Otter is out in the garage. She's trying to catch a frog that got in there. She's going to take it back out to the back yard and set it free. Just thought you might want to know! (At least it's not a turtle!)

Otter has redirected her blog slightly. She's doing web comics now. So far, her stories are starring plastic ponys that she is in the process of "rehabbing." They are turning out cute, she's very creative. If it works out, she wants to sell them on eBay. There are quite a few people who do that. She's enjoying it, whether they sell or not. I think the ponies in her web comics are pre-rehab. Check out her blog, she wants opinions. She hasn't been on the computer much this summer, though. Too much else to do. Like washing my car on a weekly basis. Don't you just love conscripted labor? :)
