Doing OK. Bo and I have been doing fun stuff out at the lake including watching or turtles.

My sister from the city is coming down here to visit Glenn. We're going to work on how to replace the carpet in the living room.

We've had problems with mice earlier this year. We cleaned out the guest room to try to get rid of the mice poop. We're now going to work on the living room. That's what the visit is all about.

Mice are so hard to get rid of! You and Bo need a kitty! LOL!

Have a good visit with your sister!
