Happy Summer!

Summer is finally here! We can trade those wet gloomy spring days for hot humid days!

The past week has been a busy one. I put on a little dog and pony show with my MacBook Pro laptop for the Miller Senior Center Computer Users' meeting. I am one of only 2 Mac users in a sea of PC users, so I like to get Apple products on the agenda once a year if I can. The show went well, except I couldn't get connected to the wireless router.

WonderMom and I ran an AARP Driver Safety Program class in Minier. We had the largest class we've ever run, and the folks were great. The only problem was, the class was at 8:30 AM on Tuesday and Wednesday, in Minier! Have I mentioned I'm not a morning person! Well, in order to drive the 30 miles to Minier and get there around 8 AM, we had to leave home by 7:30. That means I had to get up before breakfast - twice!

I made it through the class OK, but came home (after stopping for lunch) on Tuesday and finished sleeping! Wednesday was better.

On Friday we had our monthly dinner engagement with some friends from UPSTATE! We meet in Bloomington to share the driving distance. They used to live in Morton, but moved "back home" after he retired from CAT. We really enjoy these monthly get togethers.

That's about it for the week. I did put up some additional fencing around our paltry tomato & pepper garden. The deer are voracious this year. They've done a number on some of my tomato plants, our potted petunias, tulips, iris, and Osteospermum! Anyone in the market for some pick-your-own venison? Come on over!
