Ok, I hope I do not get a phone call that my mom is in the hospital after she sees that I have blogged yet again in less than a week. I am sure at the very least she will faint.! Sorry mom.
Today has been a typical late July day. Hot. There is some rain off to the west and I really hope it makes it here, as we really need the rain. Never thought we'd say that this summer, but it is true! The grass is getting dry.
My oldest and dearest friend Stephanie is coming in September. I am soooo looking forward to that. I have missed her. We don't talk nearly as much as we used to due to both of us having four children and working. But even when we go months without talking, as soon as we get on the phone we pick up right where we left off. I pray all of my children have a bosom friend like I have in Steph some day. She truly is a very special gift from God.
Our little puppy Teddy got "Fixed" on Friday. You'd never know it. He is a spunky as ever. We can't slow him down. He and Luke are a good pair. Neverending energy. If I or anyone else could figure out how to harness that energy, I could easily go off the grid and have energy to spare!
Well, I guess that is about all that is up for now. I want to go watch my Sunday Shows. I watch Hometime, This Old House, and Ask This Old House, and then I watch America's Funniest Home Videos. Then it is bathtime and bedtime for the little kids, and then, hopefully, for me too.
Love,
Tonja

Ramblings
OK, so this is what's on my mind.
1. I hate cars. I wish we could catch a ride in a bubble like in Meet the Robinson's. Every time we think we are going to get ahead, one of our cars needs some maintenance. GRRRRR!
2. Time is going by too fast, and yet not fast enough. This year, Abbe turns 8, Emma turns 17 (tomorrow) Issa turns 18 and starts college, and my little boy starts Kindegarten. Too fast. However, being the introverted person I am, I long for the time when all my kids can care for themselves, and I can have time to myself. A conundrum. But not really. I know that time will come all too fast, and if I don't slow down and enjoy them while I can they will be gone. So that's what I will do.
3. I hate politics. Enough said.
4. I love Fall. I know we are in the middle of summer, but Thursday I register my little kids for school, and that's fallish, and this is the time of year I start scanning the scenery for "Changing". Changing delights me to my soul. I love summer for it's beautiful flowers and butterflies. I love Spring for the promise of new life. I adore Winter (until my birthday), but I never tire of Fall. It is cool. It is beautiful. I love the apples, and pumpkins and gourds and leaves.
Ok so that is what's on my mind tonight. What's on yours?
Love, Tonja
