long time! I have a lot of catching up to do.
So, what's been happening here? Well, the main thing is that Joe got to come visit. He spent 2 weeks here, 2 in Bend and his last week back here. I take him to the airport on Monday. It's been great seeing him, especially this last week. He was still having a lot of jet lag during his first weeks here which meant that the best time to talk with him was about 4 am. It didn't happen! I don't know whether I wrote that he and Shirley finally got married. She was pregnant when he came over but, sadly, she just lost the baby. They were both pretty upset about that. The plan now is to try one more time (this was the third one she's lost)...after several months of rest and recuperation...and then adopt if it doesn't work out. Joe is hoping that they are in this country before she gets pregnant again because he thinks it will be easier to keep her from working if she's in a new place.
I can't believe the summer is winding down. It has gone by so fast. We have had some nice weather but mostly rain and fog. It's been a very wet season. I am so anxious to retire (1918 days to go) so that I don't have to try to do yard work between shifts at work and rain storms. It just doesn't happen.
I tried to watch the Democratic convention and what I saw was so exciting. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the Republican one to see what they have to say.
I finally got the inspection done and approved on my porch. Now I can start doing all the things I wanted to do without telling the permit people. What a hassle it's been.
I hope everyone's had a pretty good summer.

Nice to see you posting Kat. I was aware of some of those things. Glad your porch is approved. The weather sounds dreary tho. Been watchuing some of the convention myself.
Will keep positive thoughts for Joe and Shirley. Great he came to visit and you could share some time together.
As for retirement...You know my wishes for you there.
Hi Kat, I haven't been to Saturday night chat or on the board much
Hi Kat, so nice that Joe could spend the time with you.
