Sheila tells me that Colton hasn't ever stayed the night with us before.  I thought he had, but she is right.  This will be his first time and Shelli and Phil's first time to be without him, that is, since he got through with all of that hospital stuff.  Tomorrow Shelli and Phil use the free get a way gift to spend some time on their own.  We are happy to help by having the little guy here with us for a couple of nights (and days).  Things should go smoothly.  After all, grandma does qualify.

Here we are in the heart of summer and I am beginning to fret about the time going by way too fast.  I watch where the sun rises in the morning when I go out and get my paper and  it has already started back toward decreasing sunlight and shorter days.  Before long it will be football season and then Christmas.  I don't want to think about that.  But. alas, the older I get the less difference it makes.  When its summer I stay inside because its too hot outside and when its winter I stay inside because its too cold outside.  I see all of the younger folks in our family and in our ward and they are active and doing things and going places.  Me, I don't do anything and I don't go anywhere, and I find that that is actually the way that I prefer it.
Just call me boring, but be glad for me because boring is what I like!
