No Newz is good newz?

Well, I guess Miriam and John are still having internet difficulties or maybe they are just too worn out to work on posting. That is OK, I will make them put it up when they get home. But to keep everyone checking back, I will tell you more about what we are doing here. How exciting!

Hurricane Dolly came through this week. Well, really she went through at South Padre Island, but we got a lot of rain from her. Thank you Dolly! We had short off and off rains on Wednesday when she came on shore, then as the bands came around on Thursday, we had fairly constant rain all day long. I could hear the grass sigh with relief, the garden flowers dance with joy! But we are back to hot and humid again today... and the foreseeable future.

AJ went to the fitting for the Finish Strong event. She will be doing a runway type modelling of running shortsnext Thursday. She is excited. She said that if enough people buy shorts from the show ( audience) then the girls modeling will get a free pair. AJ is spending a lot of time with her friends which is nice. She seems to keep herself busy with either work, friends or sleeping. She and Ben often stay you watching movies and just hanging. Of course then they sleep half the day. Luckily it is still summer!

Aaron is playing with his best friend Erin every day either at our house or at her house. He is still playing the Wii everyday too. He has all the place holders on the first level of tightrope walking. ( 1st, 2nd,3rd...10th) He keeps working to improve his time sno one can knock him off the records.

Moab continues to be a pig. He has eaten 3/4 batch of sugar cookies, 3 pieces of bread in the plastic, ~6 fresh tortillas in foil wrap, cheese sticks, cookie dough, a chicken breast( honey teriaki) plus who knows what else we don't even know about!! That big hog!! But he is still our sweetie monster dog!
Kitties are doing well too. Mitzi gets so much attention. The boys ( Ben and Aaron) and their buds ( Erin and Evan) are constantly fighting over the privildge of hoilding her and playing with her. The Aarons keep kidnapping her and holding her hostage in the bathroom or other rooms where they can make her a cage to keep her from getting away. They also love to give her baths!But the funny thing is that when they let her go, she usually comes back to play. Ben loves to just have her with him. She has started to like to sit on the keyboard while he is playing his computer games, or she sits in his lap wrapped in a blanket. I must say, that cat does not know the meaning of loneliness!! Libby on the other hand just watches and makes sure we all pet her once in a while. She is the observant type, she knows everyting that goes on in thies house. Good thing she can't talk!!
Well, we finally have a quiet house. Evan and Erin went home and we are winding down (it is 11:00)
Well, hope ot hear somethign from the travelers soon.
To all a good night! Or morning to John and Miriam.
