Well, the one item of news is that the lady across the street died suddenly on Friday afternoon. Her son was there, but outside working for a bit, and he found her. He called the ambulance, but she was already dead. I guess she had been failing for quite a while, but I couldn’t really tell, because I never knew her before we moved here. She had such amazing flower gardens for us to gaze at out of our front window. And she was a very sweet person. She always took our grapes off our hands, because I didn’t (and still don’t) really know what to do with them. Then she sent us over some grape jam. So I guess this year I will have to figure out how to make grape jam myself. Anyway, all this means that the neighborhood has been really busy, because she had 10 kids, plus all the grandkids, etc. and they are all congregating there. Lots of cars!

Speaking of which. We’ve been car hunting. But Gary really wants us to buy his that is kind of on the decline for $300, so we decided to do that, since we’re not needing to go back and forth to GA any more. Its about a 94 Buick and not all that bad although it doesn’t run really good. But it will give us some more time to save up money to buy a better one when it finally dies. And the $300 is what we will get when we take our white car to the junk dealer, so we will come out even. Can’t knock that!

We worked a bit on both house2, but not a lot – it’s just too hot! We spent more time shopping and planning, but that needs to be done at some point, too.
