Friday July 17th

Boy am I behind! It's been a hectic couple of months.

Since last post I went home to a disaster of electrical problems. Seems lightening struck my power line, messed up the transformer, and I was getting way more juice than I was supposed to. Half my electrical stuff was fried and it took a week to get things back to normal. Also a critter chewed through the wiring to the well so I had no water till I fixed that. Thank God my house didn't burn down! Spent another week getting every thing else caught up and then came back to Louisiana and the very next day.............

Hopped in an RV with 10 other people and went to LAS VEGAS! Talk about FUN! One of the best trips ever!

Half the crew....Me, Monique, Cheryl, Estelle, Liz

We left a day early and came back a day late, 9 days total. Ha. More pics when I'm back on high speed internet.

Anyway, came back from Vegas, worked a week in louisiana then went home with my carpenter cousin Russell and his wife Cynthia to finish up the last of my construction projects. (We did! YAY!). They stayed a week and I spent the next week painting mostly - and mowing. Then I came back to Louisiana last friday and I'm here till next friday.

When I go back home I'm bringing Brandi with me (my 9 year old niece), the following week the rest of the family will come up. The following week I'll be back in Louisiana.

Whew........
