Going for the Gold

It's Olympics time once again and we are glued to our TV for the exciting events! USA! USA! (and UK, too!)

July is drawing to a close and we have been pretty busy throughout. Tom had his BCG treatments, we had a mini Heroes marathon with Jackson, and we went to the Jamboree in the Hills (hooking up with George and Doreen after all this time!). We've seen like every movie that's out that we wanted to. I've been attending a study group with my HR Block friends (there's a big IRS test a comin') and I had some train adventures as I attended a really great Medicare Conference in New Brunswick last week (and tied it in to this month's lunch with Gee Gee, too). I "rocked Hollystock" in the rain Saturday, practiced SHIP counseling at the County Corner store with Ben this morning, and had a phone meeting with Mike of HR Block. Tom has happily gotten in some golf and is currently working on a magnificent eggplant parmesan dish.

A New Look

We finally lit the fire under our feet and have started some home renovations, starting with a new front door and some reflashing of the roof for leak control.

IRS certification test preparation is moving along steadily, which is a good thing...

We have seen a lot of the new movies that have come out recently with mixed reviews (mostly just OK as opposed to anything really grabby. I guess the one I liked the best of the lot so far was the early on Snow White and the Hunter.)

I hope I didn't lose a library book (but it's looking bad :-(  I'll keep looking. Now I am currently reading the delightful The  Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. :-)

I'm so looking forward to dancing at Prospectors tonight with our Hawaii, now Virginia Beach bound, friend Teri.
