Good morning folks
It was 74 F when I hit the roadways this morning. Our high will be 87 F. It is slightly cooler than it has been for the last few days.
It has been a while since I had a chance to post or even read the forums. I spent some time over the weekend trying to catch up on my forum reading. It has been busy with the kids and I hate to say I do not see any let up soon.
My son is getting ready to head to the Boy Scout Jamboree. He leaves next Monday. He has been attending meetings and a couple of camping trips to prepare for it over the last couple of months. In addition his troop is planning to return to Philmont in 2015 and he wants to go again. So, we attended a meeting on that and we will have a year’s worth of meetings and camping trips to prepare. He has been attending tennis camp for the last two weeks. He decided that he wants to go out for the boys tennis team in high school. He will practice with the girls’ team later this summer and in the fall. Apparently a good number of the boys do so. He really seems to be enjoying it.
The college search with my daughter has really heated up since school ended. She revisited one of the colleges she saw last year. Friday we have a visit and meeting with the volleyball coach with a school in Delaware. She has gotten several phone calls from coaches over the last few weeks. We are currently planning a trip to the Boston area to visit 4 schools in a couple of weeks. At the end of the month we will be heading up to central New York state to visit a few more. In between we have some visits to Pennsylvania and New Jersey schools to make. She attended a College Prospects Camp in California at the end of June. She did well and earned the Team Award. She talked to four or five caches afterwards. Later this week she has a clinic to attend. Her high school team is playing in a summer league and will be having their camp next week.
When we were out in western PA the weather was crazy. There were heavy rains with a lot of lightning. We stayed in Waynesburg, PA and had to drive to California, PA each day. My daughter stayed in the dorms. We had to deal with driving in the downpours and with flooded roads. Several houses got struck by lightning. According to my son the same thing was going on at home. On the drive home we encountered heavy rain on I-81. It was bad enough I got off the Interstate and took US 30 home. I did not want to deal with the trucks and the heavy rain in the dark on the interstate.
With all this going on there has been no time for any modeling. Maybe when the summer is over there will be some time.
I hope everybody has a good day.
