Summer Reading!
The very best thing about summer is reading! Believe it or not I haven't watched any t.v. in two weeks, mostly because it is horrible. So I go to bed each night with a good book to start and usually get so caught up in it that I finish it the next day. Next to t.v., going to the movies, reading has to be my favorite hobby. I love to take the kids to the pool and sit in my chair reading my latest novel ( that way I also accomplish my getting a tan goal). If anyone has any good reads let me know, I'll add them to my list.

Hey Jay and Mary; I just want to thnak you for shecking in on Add and Kristie and Simon, they needed someone who had had ER experience and you guys sure have. Eric and I have been in Delta in our new 5th Wheel Trailer putting the first crop or hay up and then we went back down to irrigate and start the second crop. I kind of like being out in the middle of no where and listening to the birds and watching the sunset and seeing all the big tractors moving around. It is definitly a different lifestyle, and the work is going to get us in shape or kill us. It's fun for us to be together and be away from the phone and the hustle and bustle. I'm going to have to get a camera and start up my blog spot. I like to be able to visit you through this media. Come see us some time and when I get the patio poured in Delta I'll have you down for a weiner roast.
Love ya'
Dixie
