Water Bill = Equals National Debt

The yard is almost done! We have worked the entire month of July on it and I must say it is looking good! I tried to do a video of the yard but I skills are still not good enough. I hope you all enjoy the Smilebox .

July was a very busy month. Tom got his job at IHS Global Insight as a Senior Analyst. He has an Office with a door and three windows! He is so happy. He just started the 3rd of August but was hired as soon as his commitment to Reed was over. He's so very busy and loving every minute of it.


Josh moved back home to Washington State yesterday. The house is very quiet without him. Yodi and Brewski were very attached to him and they are suffering from Josh withdrawal. Josh was able to transfer with the Hyatt Hotel and got a promotion to the Security Staff at the Grand Hyatt in Seattle. He's very excited as that is the hotel where all the sports pros stay when there are games in town. Lots of high profile guests. He still plans on enlisting in the Coast Guard or Navy as an officer. Now that he is home he will have the time to look into whats going to work best for him. It was great having him here but now he is on to the next phase of his life. He will have a few weeks with his dad before Jerry goes out of town on business .

My time was filled with the Make a Wish regatta at our club. I was part of the committee for the raffle, silent auction and grab bags. We started the project in March for a July31st/August 1st Regatta. Between the youth sailors and the adults we had over 120 sailors. I just heard from our chairman today and she thinks we cleared $30,000!!!! We never thought we would make as much as last year and now it looks as if we might have done a few bucks better! This is a shot of the boat taking the course markers out to the race area. I liked the reflection in the water.
Well that's it for now. Enjoy the rest of the summer!
