New Magnifying Lamp

Max is a very happy fly tying person with her new magnifying lamp. Also, I happen to be a very happy person because orginally she bought an Ott Lite from JoAnn's, which I get to keep since she found something she likes better. She took the chance on ordering online from Widget Supply for a cheap price ($25) and ended up getting a really nice lamp,which will work perfectly for what she wants to use it for.

The kids are outside expending some energy before bed time. It was very chilly around here today and they did not get to go swimming or play outside (they have no warm clothes - after all it is SUMMER and August is generally one of our hottest months. It was a blessing because it gave Devin a chance to rest his RED eyes (from opening them under water while he was holding his breath). Desirae decided to give us a concert (what a kick she is).

Tried unsuccessfully to connect with Duane for his birthday, but did leave a Birthday song on his voicemail. Ummm did connect with Duane and he was able to chat with the kids a bit. They were settled in their camp area and getting ready to go to dinner.
