Summer has come, but where is the family?

For the first time this year, it was over 80 outside. The garden plants are looking better, and if it keeps up, I may have to see if the AC survived the winter. Of course, just in time (for next fall), I got the whole house humidifier installed yesterday. It was just cool enough last night to check it out - and, yeah, it worked! and the project only involved one trip to Home Depot for more parts. What a breakthrough.

Here it is in all its spendor.  Well, considering that I don't normally make holes in the ductwork and and such, and it works!

Still, the house is quiet these days, and our Sunday dinner had to move to Emily's. Mark is in Texas for training for several more weeks. Stephen IV is in Joplin MO and Kansas City for catastrophe work as part of the Farmers Insurance team (we are so proud of both of them). Christine, Marsey, Madaline and Cameron are on a road trip. This week they are staying with her sister Pam, Tom and her mom Elizabeth at their home in Ozark, MO (70 mi east of Joplin). Then they will drive to TN to visit Carrie for a few days, and then, who knows when?, they will find their way back to Utah.
