Last week Kevin stayed with my folks in Houston. Maddie and I went over to pick him up and I got to go cheer with the Texian Army and El Batallon as la Naranja held the Revs to zero shots on goal, yet still drew due to an own goal that bounced off Craig Waibel.
During that week, Lexie repainted Kevin's room twice, selected, purchased and took delivery of a refrigerator for our garage, demolished a section of shelving in the garage, and selected, purchased and helped me install new shelving in that space.
Rainfall totals are so low in San Antonio that we have gone into watering restrictions. This meant that my Monday night this week was spent trying to do enough watering to hold the lawn for the week.
Posted to Family and Home at July 28, 2006 9:30 AMYou can have some of ours this summer. Last summer we were at 12" by mid-July; this year we're at 19" -- and that's before the big few inches we had recently. The ground got so waterlogged that I'm going to have to rebuild some of my basement walls. And that's expensive.
Oh well. I guess that it's always something. It got to 105F with about 80% humidity in Indianapolis the day we left. That's really oppressive there. We Hoosiers just aren't used to it.
Oh, and did you see Lisa's essay in the Cresset ("stigm(at)a: facing the mirror of the wounds of Christ"): http://www.valpo.edu/cresset/2006_Trinity_Deam.pdf
