Summer is here again!

There's so much to catch you up on! Summer is here and we're taking advantage of it to the fullest! We spend most of our days at Auntie Beth's pool, where, (drumroll please) Veronica swam by herself for the first time two days ago! She wears a turtle suit, of course, but she is now fully mobile in the pool. She even swims in the deep end and jumps off the diving board! We'll get video of that soon. We have a very busy week coming up. Vacation Bible School starts tomorrow and I am volunteering 3 days out of the week. I think I'm going to regret that humanitarian urge...but I'm hoping it will be more fun than harassment! Here's some recent photos!























Here we are at Auntie Beth's pool! The coolest place in town...well, sort of cool. (Average water temperature 120 degrees-haha)

Veronica is very confident in Beth's pool and it's so fun to watch her swim around in that suit. She's getting very adventurous!




















On Father's Day we had Jason's parents over for dinner. Here's Dad and Jason enjoying cigars on the balcony. Veronica had a great time playing with Gramma! We've been enjoying excellent weather and good company and delicious BBQ. Can't get much better than that.
Don't forget to leave your comments on the site! We love to hear from you!

Neighbor update...

There's nothing really to tell except that I called the building and the village and the health inspector and animal control. If that doesn't do it nothing will. So far so good. No more mystery puddles on my balcony rug.

Neighbors from Hell


I realize I've turned this blog into my rant-fest lately, but it's my blog and there it is! So you have to put up with it! Or go back to bored.com or whatever it is you do when you're supposed to be working...lol

I live in the most annoying apartment building on earth. Lately, three neighbors on upper floors are allowing their dogs to pee on the balconies. Which, of course, drips down onto mine (and onto my rug and my chairs and my grill...)

What does one do about people like this? These are obviously not people you can reason with. Who does that to a dog? And we're talking about three different people with 5 to 6 dogs between them. (And large dogs too) These are the same people who allow their dogs to poop right outside the front entrance and don't pick it up. Also the same people who allow them to pee on our front entrance and kill all the grass so it looks like we're living in a ghetto.

What is a reasonable person to do? Please post advice below.
