I don't know why I've been up since 5:18 this morning.  Too much on my mind I think.  Last week was the end of school for the kids.  JJ and Irene graduated from high school, and Dan graduated the 8th grade.  Wow...they are all growing up fast.

Already, we are well into the summer traditions, starting with the last day of school.  We ate Burger King out in the front yard on a blanket...a fine way to kick off summer.  BK is a special treat for us as we usually don't eat much fast food...that stuff is terrible for you...plus it was $44 for lunch for everyone....say no more!

The boys already have the tent pitched in back.  Too bad it rained all night long so they could not spend the night out there with the dogs. 

Mitch, Kevin and Craig rode their bikes to the party store and bought out every box of mac and cheese that they could.  They decided to make it all at once and had a huge pot of it to share.  It was gone within minutes....

JJ and I got some vegetables for the garden, but it's been too rainy to plant.  Maybe this week I'll get it done.

Already, kids are laying around saying they are bored.  It seems like I have been going non stop.  Mostly cleaning up after them....ugh.

GOOD NEWS:  My manuscript was submitted on Friday.....it should take about 3 months to have the printed/published book.  I'm very excited.  My dad read it over the weekend and really liked it...and he's a hard sell.  I can't wait to share it.
                        My Christmas song, "All About Love" is on it's way to 500 different radio stations around the country as part of a sampler program.  It will be heard....we shall see what happens there. 
Look for new pics in the family section of the site. 

time for more coffee.
