It's been a great summer for the lawn. Heading into August and still haven't had to drag out the sprinkler. Lots of rain and cooler temp. Gotta love it.
Want to give a shout out to the daughter-in-laws. Audrey (with the kindness of her dad) supplied me with a nice assortment of high end Foot-Joy socks. Never knew what I was missing. Think I'm set for life. Not to be outdone, Emily must have gotten tired of me whining about our antique blender and surprised us with a Magic Bullet recently. Way to go girls. But Barrett was ahead of you both months ago with a nice box of Cubans & he wasn't even in the family then. Thanks to all of you. My children chose wisely.
Here's one from the archives, My granddad, Shannon Keith Darland, with Justin, Eric & Ben September 1983.
Work has been great. Went to New Hampshire a couple of weeks ago to meet with people from a couple of plants in NH and the Boston area. It's really nice in that part of the country. Some of you may recall my rants last year this about this time about some of our business processes. Well, here we are a year later and guess what? Yep, I was right. Good news is this year the process is being handled much better. So I'm thinking some of my comments must have stuck. Too bad it took a year, but I'm satisfied.
Mom & I went to homearama yesterday. She's now turning her attention to finishing the master bath. There was a lot of interesting things. Very few bath tubs in lieu of nice showers, no white cabinets & TV's everywhere. We had been thinking about putting one in the bath area for a long time and will probably do it. One of them even had a basketball (half court) in the basement.
Watched an interesting documentary on Netflix a few weeks back. Called Hungry for Change & it pretty much blamed all the ills of the world on process foods. I think it made lots of sense. They were all about getting back to the basics. Talked about chia seeds, one of Gina's things some time ago. I've been having em in yogurt lately. Does a nice job if you know what I mean.
Mom & I are celebrating LeAnn's birthday (Aug 4th) with a Maroon 5 (& Kelly Clarkson) concert at Riverbend. Should be a good time
Well, it's getting past my bedtime & I still can't get the video to upload. So if you want to see it, you'll have to go to my you tube. (Even then, you'll need to let it buffer for awhile even though it's only 2 minutes
Have a good week.
Shannon Darland's middle name was Lee!
