August Wrap-Up

August was a pretty busy month for us. Steve spent a week traveling to and from and diving in Indonesia for work. We then spent a week road-tripping to Oregon with my parents and brother to visit some of my extended family. We did our usual monthly visit to Steve's parents in Sacramento. And we took a long four-day weekend last weekend to visit Southern California.

I intend to post pictures from Steve's Indonesia expedition and the Oregon trip at a future date. As for the Sacramento and Southern California trips, as per usual, I didn't take any pictures. Oh well. Anybody that actually reads this blog knows what we look like, I'm sure.

Our recent Southern California trip went pretty well. We were booked solid, as usual, but I was pleased that we were able to visit with a lot of folks and be somewhat useful. We had lunch with my grandparents, dinner with our wonderful friend Melissa, a work day with my parents, lunch with our friends Eric, Gail and Scott and managed to visit all four of Steve's Southern California siblings. Steve rented a couple tanks and helped me, his siblings and several nieces and nephews try using scuba gear in his sister's swimming pool. Everyone except for me seemed to take to it easily, but I'm sure with practice I could become competent.

As summer draws to a close, things are getting busy at work for both of us and the calendar's looking pretty sparse. At this point, I'm looking forward to Christmas break. Just four short months to go.

Wow, you guys have been busy! We had fun seeing you two, thanks for setting up the diving stuff for us!

Just saw some previous posts as well. Crazy about your plumbing! Has the new piping seemed to work?

loved the scuba...loved your visit to our house. Next time, we will invite you to dinner. Puff ball is very relaxed these days. He likes putting toys in his food bowl!

Rabbits do seem to enjoy doing that. Ours particularly like throwing toys in their water bowls.
