What’s Happening?

It’s been the real dog days of summer around here! I’ve stayed really busy this week because we’ve had some very special guests! Kody’s Mom and Grandma have been here since Monday. We LOVE when they come visit. They bring Grandma’s little dog, Jack, along too so the boys enjoy playing with him. I’m always sad to see them go and they left this morning. We had a great week!

Monday night Kody grilled pork chops and we had fresh green beans, squash, okra, and lots of fresh fruit. We ate like kings all week! (Imagine that?!) Each night we enjoyed sitting around and just visiting with them. My Mom came out Monday night to visit too!

Tuesday I met them for lunch at my favorite place, Heros. It’s SO good! We had our home appraised on Tuesday morning for our refinance. Unfortunately with the CRAPPY market it was not appraised for what we hoped, but such is life. We’re still hoping to get something worked out. It’s not fair that appraisals are based on one opinion AND the homes that have sold recently…the comparative homes weren’t much to compare with! Kody made another great meal, chicken grillers!

Wednesday was a lot of the same except we met Mom for lunch. They had originally planned on leaving Thursday morning but we were sitting out on our deck Wednesday afternoon waiting on KT to get home and Grandma said, “We didn’t get to go out to eat or celebrate your birthday, I’m in no hurry to get home!” So I went inside and Teresa followed me and said she would surprise Grandma and stay another day. I was so happy and so was Grandma!

They helped me yesterday afternoon with a craft and then we met Kody at Ruby Tuesday for dinner. We had to top it all off at Spring Dipper for ice cream! I’m so glad Kody’s Grandma is able to come stay with us in the country as she refers to it. We just love having her and my MIL. They are the perfect houseguests, the clean up after US an themselves!! :)

Tomorrow we’re going floating and tonight we’re celebrating Ashley’s birthday at El Charro’s! I can’t say what she’s getting, but I hope she likes it!!
