Lot’s of activity this month. The new school year started this month. This year Ross is a senior and Owen is a freshman. Ross is busy filling out college applications, working at Jimmy John’s, and running Cross Country. Owen is still busy training to become a world-class video gamer. He does, however, take an occasional break from gaming to participate in Cross Country Team activities and search for junk food.
The pool is getting some well-needed maintenance this month: new slate, new tile and a new coat of plaster. And, the garage just got new doors. They are made out of aluminum rather than the press-board and wood of the old doors. They are a slightly different shade of grey than the existing house trim, so a new coat of paint for the trim is probably not too far off in the future.
Happy Birthday "Little" Brian!!
