Summer is on a fast track to be here very soon and I for one can not wait. The summer season is when we have the most fun and do the most interesting things. This summer we have plans to take our grandson to the beach as soon as he finishes his swimming lessons that he is taking at the YMCA. The YMCA has a great program to teach city kids how to swim, in the country where I grew up you had no option you got thrown in and it was sink or swim, I am sure glad I did not sink.

This week will be the final week for the first grade in our family. David has survived his first grade year and I could not be more proud of him, almost no drama this year a much better year than the fight and drama filled kindergarten year he had. Changing schools has helped him a lot he is much better adjusted with his new school and I hope he can stay in that school for a while instead of jumping around like his mother is prone to do, it is in the child’s best interest and I will fight to see that he has the best chance possible in the education he receives.

One of the advantages to living right next to a huge lake is that when I decided to go fishing I can literally walk to the lake if I had to. Plus we have a pond within a hundred yards from the house where I can go if I do not want the crowd at the lake. My grandson has caught the fishing bug and I bought him his own rod and reel. He now asks to go fishing almost every time he is at our house which is almost every weekend, a fishing buddy is not a bad thing at all.

After my grandson David visited this weekend I will be needing a new phone. My old phone took a bath in the toilet and will need to be replaced. David said that it was dirty and needed to be cleaned up. Hard to explain to a 6 year old that phones can not get baths like he does when he is dirty. I guess I need to put my phone in a better place when I go to bed. I have been thinking about getting a new phone so all is not lost in this deal.

Today my baby sister turns 46, I am sure she is not a happy camper about getting a year older. As we get older and older it is harder and harder to remember how we grew up. I remember my sister as a pest and for a small girl she was mean and nasty. I think she taught me a lot about being tenacious and made me a better person for it. I love you sis and I hope you have a very happy birthday.
