The students are not back in town - so things are quiet. When 80,000 kids are added to the mix for the three colleges - things perk up. Also sales on Craigslist pick up.
George and Joel are in Africa. They are supposed to be home Thursday. They will only be home for a short time - then they go back to Africa for another three weeks. They will be working in the schools there. They will be missing lots of the football season.
Weather has not been bad - 90s and humid - a bit of rain - but no big storms. I can get a little yard work done on the houses in the morning. With the heat and rain - the grass grows over two inches in a week.
The pool is back to normal after being green when we were away. We put new water in it - the water coming out of the hose was 75 - the pool was back to 80 in two days.
Next week - we plan a three day vacation to Panama City. This is Lulu's first non-working vacation of the year. Panama City is 100 miles west of here and has some of the prettiest white sand beaches in the world. (They never got oil)
Our next trip is to Australia in September. Lulu will be speaking at the IASL Convention in Brisbane. We will spend a few days in Sydney and then 5 days in Brisbane. We will stop in Hawaii each way for two days to adjust to the jet lag.
Right now - our family plans to spend an early Thanksgiving here - November 16th - the week of the Clemson game. We hope to see them all sooner than that - but it will be nice.
After London - with all the family and friends - it has been a bit of a let down. Things will be exciting again soon.
