Always later

You know, moving a household takes a lot of time and energy.
I hope your summer has been more relaxing.
See you later in August, peeps.

Home again

Well, the family reunion was wonderful and a good time was had by all. Golf, swimming, golf, mini golf, playing tourist, the zoo, the golf tournament, a little education, more golf (for some), lots of visiting, and fireworks. North Dakota - a great family vacation. Thanks for everyone's help with the kids while Mr. Malaprop was golfing!

Postcard sums up summer

Reeking havoc. Like that one?

Posts are few and far between here, and likely to be sporadic at least for the rest of the summer due to several factors. To mention a few:

We have a big family reunion to attend this summer. My side of the family, not too far away, big gathering, golf tournament. A real tournament with trophies and everything. This was held every year for 20 years and is now only held in even years. Always over the 4th of July. Now that Mr. Malaprop golfs he is rather keen to attend. Stars have aligned and allowed for a week's vacation. Now if I could only find something to wear! My summer wardrobe is sad.

We are moving again. We have lived in this house almost four years, so I guess it's high time.

We have a wedding to attend the same week we close on our new house. A very long day's drive away; at the same time Mr. Malaprop's side of the family is holding their annual summer campout. We plan to divide and conquer for this one, which will likely be tougher on me than the kids.

I still have hopes of getting some schoolwork done. Fun stuff, but still educational. Right now, I'm not seeing it happening, but I'm still hanging on to my list.

So far I have enjoyed the summer, but now home repair, putting the house on the market, and packing most of the household goods into storage is looming. And there's more, but I'm sure you've heard enough for now!

What exactly goes on when I'm not home? Do I really want to know?
I found this mysterious photo on my camera; all other evidence had been removed from the actual kitchen.

Big thing spotted

On a recent trip back home from visiting Wyoming and South Dakota, we passed a truck carrying a huge cylindrical-shaped load. Actually, we passed it once, had to make an emergency potty stop, got back on the interstate and passed it again. The second time I managed to snap a photo which, as you can see, doesn't show the thing itself but does show the name: NaturEner. We had no idea what it was and no idea where it was headed. Now that I know it's part of a wind turbine - maybe here, or here? Probably someplace new, though, and maybe not even in Montana. It was headed west - I wonder, where did it come from originally?

World record?

This has got to be the largest, earliest watermelon in a Wyoming garden. I saw it myself two days ago. Incredible.
