we've had quite the weather over here. i think the grand total is 7.3 inches since friday. we are watching some neighbors across the water haul carpet out of their basement right now (i did offer the husband up for help but they have it under control). a house on the lake had its back yard slide right into the water when their big retaining walls caved in. it's pretty crazy. we have had no problems. kind of a relief to know the new house doesn't leak :)

it did clear up enough yesterday afternoon for our big extended family (cousins, uncles and nieces) to play about 3 hours of tennis. that sure is a fun sport. he he. it's too bad i waited until now to start learning all these new things. i think i mentioned i joined the women's tennis league. they promised to teach me how to play through the month of june before i have to start playing matches in july. i think they were just looking for someone to boost their morale. i've seen the good ladies play. i really don't plan on ever winning, though i did hold my own with the husband's older brother. he needs a hip replacement and can't really walk or run, but still.

on a final note, little j is going to take up piano...he's been asking for months now and his aunt deb said he could use her piano for practicing. his motivation is going from piano to drums. if you decide to stop by for a visit, please bring ear plugs. and an extra pair for me.

going to go for a swim out my front door now...time to get the mail...
