End of September

Looking forward to the arrival of my parents, during the first week of October. And I've booked a return visit to Ct. for me Nov. 1-4, Going camping with a bunch of guys from Scouts...

Still awaiting closure on the Ct. house - Someone is looking at it, to use it as a professional office. Argghhhh...

The Troop (90) is camping the weekend of the 12th. The Pack (97) bailed on launching rockets last Monday - big thunderstorms, so now it's on for next Monday.

I've been bad about posting...

School opened last week, and went well for all concerned. S. and D. take the same bus, since the middle school and the high school are adjacent. N. told me he has a friend named "Knock-knock" who sits near him in class - and tons of friends in the neighborhood. The party will be Saturday, then me and all the guys are looking at going to a Twins game that night - my Minn. realtor has four tickets, and I'll see him tomorrow about them.

The weather has been great so far - Our first night was a pretty powerful wind/thunder storm, blowing papers and boxes all over the neighborhood. And with no cable - we listened to 830 AM, the WTIC AM of Minnesota. They spent the evening saying "It's raining in _____, we think it's raining in ____ (the next town over). We have a caller....." And Bill from ____ would call in to say yes indeed. it IS raining! Reminding us we've moved to Lake Woebegon. Actually we're like twenty minutes from there.

N. has a Pack Meeting for his new Pack 97 (with his Tiger Den Leader Dad) next week. And S. and D. have agreed, and will be joining Troop 90 the larger, older troop and it has a venture crew attached. C. and I will be going out to Princeton tomorrow, for the Roundtable - and our evening out.

Ta Ta for now...

P.S. - Prayers have been answered for my friend Kevin, Praise God!

Impending School

So tomorrow the guys start school. And I think it's only fair - since I get up and leave every morning. This will hopefully reintroduce more reasonable sleep cycles for the guys.
We had another long weekend, Friday I took C. on a date night to the Rockwood Grill (like Dakotas) and Saturday working on unpacking, trying the area chinese buffet (nope) and then taking Mommy down to the Albertville shops. Saturday, the guys went to the Lions Park and we went to play Folf. It has a playscape and a skate park as well, it's across from the high school.

This week we went to "Real Life Church" in Otsego, last week was the Elk River Methodist, and thier first week was the River of Life Church (up the street).

Monday we went to a park in Burns for lunch, and in the afternoon the Ice Cream van came buy (yea!) and announced it was the last day (yea!). The Torrington House still hasn't moved, I think one person came by to see it - and the neighbor comes out each time to explain a) how desperate we are, and how much nicer her house is...And her brothers world class homeless vehicles are still surrounding it.
