Summer Has Finally Arrived!

It has been soooo long since I have written on my blog...been on my facebook page most of the time. So, today, I will try to undate somewhat. If no one knows, Tim and I have moved closed to Sand Lake. We bought a different house last fall in September. It's a newer and nicer home...3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room with a fireplace, dining room, and kitchen with an eating area. Our home sits on 1 acre of land.
We no longer have our dog, Duke. He has been missing for nearly 5 months now. We no longer have any hope of finding him. We did everything to try to find him! We believe that some other family has him and hopefully, he is very happy.
Our summer here in Michigan has been cold this year, until a few days ago. We finally have hot and humid weather. Last Sunday we had quite the storms in the area. Mostly in the Sparta area and along the lakeshore. Julie and Steve lost a couple of trees on the back of their property and limbs, but no damage to their home. Thank goodness! Tim & LuAnn had a tree come down, but no damage to their home. And Dad...his property is just fine! We were very lucky...no damage and the storm wasn't as bad here as in the Sparta area and else where.
All the grandkids and growing and healthy. My oldest grandson just turned 17 in July. He will be a junior this year...playing football and in the band as well. Hope to attend his home games to see him play...football and in the band!
Tim has been laid off since December...permantly since January. We are doing okay. No extras in our lifes right now. We planted a vegetable garden, but everything is about 2 weeks behind with the cool weather. Hopefully with the warm summer weather that we're having now...the garden will grow better. We are still picking peas! Can you believe it? In August?
Well...that's about it for now. Hopefully I won't wait 8 months again to update my Blog!

Everyone have a great summer...at least what is left of it!
