In just a few short days, 2018 will be half over. Amazing. Yes, amazing, but true. Perhaps it is time to do a quick analysis of how the year is going so far. For if we have not yet accomplished or done what we wanted to do at the first of the year, we still have time to course correct. But not much time, only six more months. And we know how fast time flies, especially when fall comes and the holidays kick into high gear. So maybe with July and August bearing down on us, we can make some progress with changes we have said we want to make.

Sweet granddaughter Virginia who is now 6 years old, as of 6/27/18!


Our water service is with Aqua, and it has been poor for years, with many people in our area having brown water fairly regularly. And the rates keep going up. Now the quality of the service and the service, in general, is even worse. Just a few details to explain.
It is that time of year again, when we adults attend countless graduations, recitals, and sports tournaments. We sit through hours at each of those, just to see our loved ones have their thirty seconds of fame. Our granddaughter Virginia graduated from Happy Apple Academy last night, the third and last in her family to do so. It was very emotional for our daughter, Tara, who has lived this same scene with her other two children, Mary Grace (13) and Elsie (11). I still remember when a couple of the Happy Apple Teachers brought Virginia a Future Happy Apple Student t-shirt when she was born, and now, almost six years later, she is graduating from there. Amazing. Where have the years gone?
