I made an emergency trip out to California to help Gillian - she had some medical issues and is very pregnant. It all worked out great and she is fine. It was an unexpected trip but I really enjoyed spending the time with all of them but of course, especially with Owen! He's a heartbreaker! So cute!
Ken and I finished our school semesters and then walked around the house not knowing what to do with ourselves. We are so pleased to be out of school for a while. It gives me a chance to clean the house and introduce myself to the dog...and Ken!
The weather has been wild. This is storm and tornado time and we had a tree go down at the bottom of the driveway between the time I left for school and Ken left. The electricity went out and he thought it was the storm. Several hours later when he drove down the driveway, he realized he drove under this large tree leaning over. He went to the Power Co. and by the time they and Ken got back the tree was down across the driveway and had taken out another tree with it. Afterward I told Ken that every time the electricity goes out, I call one of the neighbors to make sure its out for everyone!
We made a recent purchase of a Kubota utility vehicle. See it at:

This makes it so much easier to go around the hill and pick up the debris that we had been trying to do by hand with a wheelbarrow... Besides it is great fun to run around on down the driveway and out the Faulkner road. And, Owen will love it!
I am presently at the National Restaurant Association Conference in Chicago and when I get home on Wednesday, we will be leaving for Maine the next day. It is going to be a wild and crazy summer with the new baby expected and other things going on.
I'll try to be more efficient with my updating.
Later.
