Second attempt at this blog post today.  We are in the HEAT of summer and that's not joke - it's triple digits today and will continue for the next few days. 

Parker is home for the summer - scouting cotton again and training his brother Paxton.  The boys have also had a dose of pulling pigweed.  I think they are cured!  For my city friends, pigweed is a weed that CANNOT be killed in our area.  The only way to get rid of it is to pull it and remove it from field.  It's so 'contagious' that once pulled, some even burn the weeds!!!

Parker finished his first year at Troy with a 4.0 overall GPA, joined a fraternity (Farmhouse) and had a great time with new friends and new adventures.  Still haven't completely decided on a major yet, but that's ok.  Paxton will be in the 10th grade in the fall and driving all alone in April.  

The remainder of our summer will include vacation, wedding in Tuscaloosa, Randy's 49th birthday (he will catch me) and my girls' beach trip.  The wedding is family - Sallie's oldest, Jon, is marrying Marjorie Yessick.  He met her at Troy, and she is from Tuscaloosa.  Randy has agreed that this is the ONLY reason he will go to T-town!!

 I have found a creative outlet and very therapeutic and much cheaper than therapy.  I am taking classes through Art on a Whim - art classes and projects under the direction of two local girls.  I have completed about five projects and if you are on FB, you have seen my creations!  I love going and visiting with new and old friends and creating something myself! 

Until next time . . .
