I'm not a good blogger

I'm not a good blogger.  I know I should write more and keep things up to date but for some reason its not what I think about when I get on the computer.  I do keep a diary that I write in a little more often but even it has its huge lags.

I've started my 9th year with Cave Creek.  That seems so impossible.  I don't feel like I've been there 9 years.  I had 13 years in Chandler and that was just yesterday.  Where has the time gone?  The biggest milestone that I will hit this year is achieving my 80 points in the retirement system.  That means I can retire with full benefits...everything.  Now for every year I work, I work towards upping my percentage so that I can bring home just a little more money when I finally do retire.  That is looking to be in about 6 years.  If the next 6 years goes as fast as the previous 9 years, my next blog might be about my retirement!!

Grandkids are doing well.  Colin will undergo his next surgery to have his laryngeal cleft repaired on October 14th.  I will go back to Missouri and look after Alyssa while Colin and Shannon are in the hospital.  I am hoping that he has an easy time of it and is home before the week is over.  After that, I will go to Dad's so that I can see for myself how things are going with him.  If Colin does well the first week, I will get to spend almost a full week with Dad.  Now I just have to make my airline reservations.

The weather is finally starting to cool down some.  It is still warm during the day but the humidity seems to be dropping and the nights are starting to cool off some.  i always like it from October to about April.  That is when living in Phoenix is second to none.

Well, I'm going to end here.  It isn't a long blog but it is at least something!!
