Mike and I rented a car (since all of ours are junky) and made the grueling drive up to DC to visit the Bostons one last time before they move to their new assignment in GA. The big news--Bert is pregnant! And we found out later it's a GIRL! After 5 grandsons, my first granddaughter. We are all just over the moon. The boys are excited to get a baby sister. Baby is due early January. Bert and the boys will be visiting here at the end of July on their way to Augusta. I'll go with them so I can corral the boys while she does a walk through on the rental house and sign the papers. The boys are actually starting the school the following week. Never a dull moment with that crew. Things around here are pretty quiet. It's too hot to go out and do anything. We've had a lot of wildlife visiting us lately. Besides the usual birds (lots of different birds), squirrels, deer and rabbits...we now have a racoon and a couple of stray cats. And we feed them all. I love that I am surrounded by NATURE. It's wonderful.
