It has been a busy summer

I haven't really got the time to visit much. Been just too busy. Traveled to visit our relatives back in Mexico, then after getting back it was college move-in day for both our kids, so as of last month we have been "empty-nesters". It is really odd. I miss my kids! But they are just where they need to be at.
The trip to take our son to his college in Virginia was an odyssey in itself! We left him close to 11 am and by 4pm we had only advanced about 90 miles! Take this... heading to TN from Virginia on the Saturday before the sun eclipse on Sunday... had to go through Knoxville, which is next to Bristol TN where that same evening there was a Nascar race... also, that same day was move-in day for UT Knoxville. So, when we finally crossed into TN, there were no hotel rooms available, at all. We ended up having to stay at the only place we were able to find... a really ugly, dated, dirty Days Inn in Greenville TN, which normally goes for 39.99 per night, but of course, that night was $180.00, take it or leave it.
Anyway, we made it back home safely. Work has been mighty busy... have some projects at home (painting, gutters) which I'm not doing myself! I have many talents... working that kind of stuff is not one of them!
Anyway, just checking in, hope all is good with you all!
