Today is the last day Hubs works before his vacation starts. This year, unfortunately, he only gets a week off. Normally they get two weeks. We are still not positive what the days are that we will be going camping, But we WILL be going.

I just hope that there are NO storms while we are there – we tent it!

The boys are over the moon, and hubs and I are just as happy! There are SEVERAL things around the house that need looking after, and now is the time to get it done.

becuase it is the long weekend, we will NOT be going camping until at least Tuesday, so we want to finish all this stuff up before then so we have the rest of the week to relax!

We need to get the patio done, the ground is finally dry!

We need to fix our bedroom window – the crank is broken so it will not firmly shut – a pain in the rear during all these storms!

We need to put in “lawn and garden” edging along the back fence, and get the landscape rocks in and spread.

And… I think that’s it!

So a few posts a go I told you I managed to snag the name of the lady who has the dog who will be having the puppies, right?

Well I called her. Nice lady, we ended up talking for another 30 minutes after concluding puppy business, about life and such, our kids and our siblings and what not. Turns out she went to high school with my brother.

Anyway, the mother dog has already bred to the father dog, and she is expected to whelp around the end of August. We will go down in September sometime to check out the litter, but I have been promised a female puppy.

I’m So excited!
